The Community Garden Watering Can
After a community garden workday, four different tools were returned to the North, East, South, and West sheds. The cleanup sheet names three tool-and-shed pairs, allowing the coordinator to locate the copper watering can before the gates are locked.
Your task
Which shed contains the copper watering can?
- 1
The pruning shears were returned to the North shed.
- 2
The seed trays were returned to the East shed.
- 3
The wheelbarrow was returned to the West shed.
- 4
Each shed received exactly one of the four different tools.
Solution revealed
Solution
The answer: South shed
The North shed already contains the pruning shears, the East shed contains the seed trays, and the West shed contains the wheelbarrow. Because every shed received one different tool, none of those three sheds can also contain the watering can. South is the only unassigned shed, so the copper watering can was returned there.
