Logic Problems - Raspberry Surprise

Raspberry Surprise
by Shelly Hazard

It's raspberry season! Tom and his friends were out walking in the woods when they discovered a whole hillside of wild raspberry bushes just loaded with ripe delicious raspberries. Tom raced back to his place to get some buckets for picking and all five of them spent the afternoon picking the luscious red berries. Determine each friend's full name, how many quarts of berries each picked, and what each one did with their berries.

1. Mr. Harding picked three quarts of raspberries during the afternoon. Fred's last name wasn't Richley and he didn't give his berries away to his neighbors.

2. Pete Waterby had two quarts more of berries than the man who cooked them in muffins. Will's last name wasn't Dolby.

3. Will ate his berries with supper that night. Fred had more than one quart of berries.

4. The man who had four quarts of berries sold his to the local market. 

5. Tom had more berries than Mr. Dolby but less berries than the one who froze his in the freezer for safekeeping.  

6. Joshua didn't bring back the least amount of raspberries, which was one quart. Mr. Richley brought back five quarts, which was the largest amount brought back.
