Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The students' first names are Anna, Brian, Celia, David and their surnames are Brentwood, Mayfair, Oxford and Sussex. The courses taken are Architecture, Law, History and Mathematics. The universities are located in London, Leeds, Liverpool and Leicester. Given the following clues: 1. Anna and Celia are female, Brian and David are male. 2. Architecture is taken by a female student and Mathematics by a male one. 3. The starting letter of the surname of the person studying in London is in the first half of the alphabet, whereas the one taking mathematics lies in the second half of the alphabet. 4. The first name of the student Sussex is not Celia, who is not Mayfair. 5. The student with the alliterative (full) name studies Law. 6. Anna's subject is not Architecture. 7. Oxford studies at Leeds. 8. The course at Liverpool is not History, nor is the one at Leeds. 9. Mayfair is studying in Leicester. Please answer the following: What is Brian's surname?

Answer: Brentwood

From clue 5, "The student with the alliterative name...", we can deduce that Brian's surname is Brentwood.

2. What is Celia studying?

Answer: Architecture

Celia is not taking Law because that is taken by Brian Brentwood (clue 5); she does not study Mathematics because the course is taken by a male student (clue 2). Anna does not study Architecture (clue 6) and as the person taking Architecture is female (clue 2) it must be Celia.

3. What is Anna's subject of study?

Answer: History

We already know that Brian Brentwood is taking Law (clue 5), Celia is taking Architecture and the other male student Mathematics (clue 2). Therefore, Anna's field of study is History.

4. What is David's surname?

Answer: Sussex

As Brian Brentwood studies Law, we know that David studies Mathematics (clue 2). We also know that the surname of the student taking Mathematics is in the second half of the alphabet (clue 3). Therefore, his surname must be either Oxford or Sussex. We also know that Celia's name is not Sussex, Mayfair (clue 4) or Brentwood, so David can't be Oxford and must have the surname Sussex.

5. Where is Brian studying?

Answer: London

We know that the surname of the person studying in London is in the first half of the alphabet (clue 3), so it can be either Mayfair or Brentwood. We also know that Mayfair is studying in Leicester (clue 9), so Brian is the one studying in London.

6. What is Celia's surname?

Answer: Oxford

Knowing that Brian's surname is Brentwood and David's is Sussex, Celia's surname is either Mayfair or Oxford. Clue 4 tells us that Celia is not called Mayfair so Celia's surname is Oxford.

7. What is Anna's surname?

Answer: Mayfair

We have established that the surnames Brentwood, Oxford and Sussex belong to Brian, Celia and David respectively, leaving Anna the surname Mayfair.

8. Where is Celia studying?

Answer: Leeds

We now know that Celia's surname is Oxford and we clue 7 says that Oxford studies at Leeds.

9. What subject is taken at Liverpool?

Answer: Mathematics

Brian studies Law in London and Celia studies Architecture at Leeds. History is not taught at Liverpool (clue 8), so that leaves Mathematics.

10. What is Mayfair's subject of study?

Answer: History

Anna Mayfair is studying at Leicester. Since we've established Law, Architecture and Mathematics are taught elsewhere, the only subject left is History and that is what Mayfair is taking.

Therefore the complete solution is:
Anna Mayfair, Leicester, History
Brian Brentwood, London, Law
Celia Oxford, Leeds, Architecture
David Sussex, Liverpool, Mathematics
