The Stores in the Town of Littleton
The tiny town of Littleton has only 5 stores, all on different streets. Depending on what type of gift you are going to buy, they all have just the thing you will need.

The stores are Crazy for Bargains, Bent Gear, Baby Shower Games A to Z, Checks Unlimited and GoToBaby. Five shoppers all go to get some of their holiday shopping out of the way and have a different item they need to shop for that can only be found at one of the stores.

From the Clues tell us where Peter, Craig, Emilio, Heather and Carolyn went to shop for their gift and what street the store was on. Gaze away!!


The Clues
1. Emilio had to pass Tang Ct. on his way to shop.

2. Carolyn and Emilio shopped on these two streets, Tang Ct and Andrew St.

3. Checks Unlimited was shopped by a man. (duh!) who would think a woman would get a gift of checks!

4. Nobody's first letter in their name matches the first letters in the stores name where they got their gift.

5. GoToBaby is on Stuart Ave.

6. Carolyn, Heather, and Emilio all shopped at places that were not “Crazy” or a place to “Go”

7. The person who works at Crazy for Bargains didn’t get their gift on Richard Drive

8. Carolyn and Craig did not go to Crazy for Bargains for their gift

9. Neither of the men bought camping equipment from Bent Gear


The Different Things
The Shoppers : Peter, Craig, Emilio, Heather and Carolyn

The stores: Crazy for Bargains, Baby Shower Games A to Z, GoToBaby, Checks Unlimited and Bent Gear

The streets: Andrew St, Melissa Way, Richard Dr., Stuart Ave and Tang Ct



Now, just a hint at how I like to solve these puzzles. I put together a chart with all the different items and put "X" in each box until I have eliminated the possibilities based on the clues. To help you out, i have put together a chart for this puzzle that you can print out to work on your answer and get a chance at that dinner on egazing!

Happy e-gazing and good luck!
