"No, no, NO!" the Bearded Lady exclaimed while tearing an official looking paper. "That's not going to work. This plan is a total mess. How can I set up my Ferris Wheel if I'm not given proper space on the Carnival?" The Mime shrugged and acted out a scene where he was shuffling some imaginary booths around. To which the Acrobat nodded. "He's right. Let's move a bit around. We can come up with a new plan. Trust me, we will get the Carnival open in time and even have a few hours left to finish our decorations."

The Carnival consists of five individual amusement attractions, each one staffed by one person. Can you figure out the locations, personnel and what each attraction is decorated with?


Hints

Number 3 is the House of Mirrors.

At number 1 visitors can not buy Popcorn, and it is neither decorated with Chinese Lanterns nor Rainbow Garlands.

The Mime is not selling food.

The Sword Swallower operates attraction number 2.

For his decoration the Acrobat decided on Balloons, but when you enter the Carnival, you'll notice number 1 has a different decoration than that.

Booth number 4, adorned with lots of Daisies, does not sell Cotton Candy. The Cotton Candy booth is not decorated with Fairy Lights.

Ring Toss isn't number 5, but if you want to test your throwing skills, just look for the attraction with Rainbow Garlands to find that particular Carnival game.

Wait, that's a little confusing. Could you give a list of personnel, and a list of decorations?

Um...maybe I'm missing something, but we are still short 1 attraction and 2 personnel. Unless the bearded lady and ferris wheel from the intro are part of the puzzle. But then we're still short 1 personnel.

Nah, I went through the clues and got 6 personnel and 5 decorations, so I'm guessing the Bearded Lady isn't considered personnel?

EDIT: I forgot the House of Mirrors. Not sure which that one falls under.

O.o
How did you get 6 personnel.
I only see 3: Mime, acrobat, and sword swallower.
The house of mirrors would be an attraction.

I think the popcorn and cotton candy booths are assumed to already include personnel.

EDIT: scratch that, for the lists I've got:

Personnel: Bearded Lady, Mime, Acrobat, Sword Swallower

Deco: Lanterns, Garlands, Balloons, Daisies, Fairy lights

Attractions: Mirrors, Popcorn, Cotton Candy, Ring Toss, Ferris wheel

Options
People - Bearded Lady, Mime, Acrobat, Sword Swallower ?
Places - Cotton Candy, Ferris Wheel, Popcorn, Ring Toss, House of Mirrors
Decoration- Laterns, Garland, Fairy Lights, Daises, Ballons

Yeah, so we're still missing 1 personnel, bit I have it solved otherwise.

Oooopsss

Damn. Should have posted mine when I had it sooner. Tiva beat me to it.

Wait maybe we should have PMed to avoid spoiling it.

Sorry…. I like logic puzzles

Little late to worry about it now.

I Hid it. And I can delete it...

Ah, don't worry about it.
Also, I feel like I'm coming across as grumpy/cranky/bitchy so I'm gonna go...for a while.

@Espy: good point. If there's a next one, it shall include a list of all possible answers.

@Kaderin: aww, you're not coming across bitchy at all, I swear! Aaand you're right, one person is missing.
(Note to self: next time don't make up logic stuff ten minutes before going to bed)

@Tiva: You got it!

Sorry for the missing personnel, folks. I sense what happened to the unknown staffer could be part of another logic puzzle... if you want to solve a second one, that is.

Shameless advertising: You can also participate in my actual game here

I hid my stuff so you have to opt to look at it. I just got excited cause logic puzzles….

Hehe, I love logic puzzles!

Initially I thought I'd make my booth all about logic (or rather, my very first thought was to blatantly steal the Giving Goose idea from a former event, so everyone can be a googly eyed side show freak ^^) but then I opted for something a larger number of people could participate in.
