Homework help, seems easy but its hard!?

The National Foundation of Medical Research held a highlyattended conference each year in Washington, DC. The

Foundation had a series of awards that could be presented during

the conference to doctors and medical professionals who had

made a significant contribution to furthering medical knowledge in

a main area of study. However, the awards were not generally

awarded every year as the candidates must have made an

outstanding and recognizable contribution to the science of

medicine, which probably helped explain why the Foundation鈥檚

awards were considered some of the most prestigious in the

medical industry. This year, several of the awards were given out

to candidates scattered across the nation.

Determine the full name of each recipient (one had a last

name of Foster), the area of medical research each recipient

contributed to (one area was back injuries), and the city where

each recipient lived.



1. The doctor who came from Chicago was given an award for

his research into cancer.

2. Patricia was researching heart disease but she didn鈥檛 live in

Miami.

3. Harry鈥檚 last name wasn鈥檛 Atkins. Amy didn鈥檛 live in Charlotte.

4. Ms. Ford鈥檚 award was for her work in DNA mapping.

5. Michelle Slater wasn鈥檛 researching mental diseases.

6. Chet lived in Dallas. The doctor whose last name was

McQueen worked in Seattle



*need to know the last name, area of research, and city for the doctors (Amy, chet, harry, michelle and patricia). Thanks!Homework help, seems easy but its hard!?
Chet ( Dallas)- ( Mental Diseases) - (Atkins)

Patricia - (Seattle) - (Heart Disease) - ( McQueen)

Michelle - (Charlotte,) - (Back problems) - (Slater)

Harry - (Chicago) - (Cancer) - (Foster)

Amy - (Miami) - (DNA, Mapping) - (Ford)



Set up a grid like this and eliminate options as you discover facts.



Chet (Chicago,Miami, Charlotte, Dallas, Seattle)(cancer, heart disease,DNA, mental,back)(Atkins, Ford, Slater, McQueen, Foster)

Patricia - (Chicago,Miami, Charlotte, Dallas, Seattle)(cancer, heart disease,DNA, mental,back)(Atkins, Ford, Slater, McQueen, Foster)

Michelle - (Chicago,Miami, Charlotte, Dallas, Seattle)(cancer, heart disease,DNA, mental,back)(Atkins, Ford, Slater, McQueen, Foster)

Harry - (Chicago,Miami, Charlotte, Dallas, Seattle)(cancer, heart disease,DNA, mental,back)(Atkins, Ford, Slater, McQueen, Foster)

Amy - (Chicago,Miami, Charlotte, Dallas, Seattle)(cancer, heart disease,DNA, mental,back)(Atkins, Ford, Slater, McQueen, Foster)



Clue 5. Michelle is SLATER allocate and delete from the others. also not "mental"

Clue 4. "Ms" ford, therefore Chet, and Harry as males are not Ford. Michelle as "Slater" is not DNA mapping.

Clue 6 Chet lived in DALLAS allocate and remove from the others. Also Chet not McQueen as worked in Seattle. Michelle is not Seattle as her surname is "Slater"

Clue 1 Chet not "cancer" as he comes from Dallas not Chicago

Clue 2. Patricia = HEART DISEASE allocate and remove from the others, Patricia not Miami

Clue 3. Harry not Atkins, Amy not Charlotte

Clues 1 and 2 Patricia = heart disease, therefore not cancer, therefore not Chicago

Clues 2 and 4. Ms Ford = DNA mapping, therefore Patricia cannot be Ford as she is heart disease

Therefore this means that the only one that can be FORD is Amy. The others have already been eliminated. Therefore Amy is DNA mapping and as Cancer is Chicago, she cannot be Chicago.

Also as McQueen lived in Seattle and Amy is Ford, she can't be Seattle and must be MIAMI (last option)



From the above logic the grid now looks like this.



Chet ( Dallas)( mental, back)(Atkins, Foster)

Patricia - (Charlotte, Seattle)(Heart Disease)(Atkins, McQueen, Foster)

Michelle - (Chicago,Charlotte,)(cancer,,back) (Slater)

Harry - (Chicago, Charlotte, Seattle)(cancer, mental,back)( McQueen, Foster)

Amy - (Miami) - (DNA, Mapping) - (Ford)



Michelle cannot be Chicago - the doctor had an award for "HIS" research into cancer. Therefore Chicago must be Harry and CANCER must be Harry and he cannot be McQueen as that doctor is from Seattle. Therefore Harry is FOSTER (last option)

This means that Michelle comes from CHARLOTTE and is BACK problems (last options)

This means that Patricia comes from SEATLLE and is MCQUEEN

This means that Chet has to be Mental Illness and ATKINS (last options)



FINAL SOLUTION

Chet - ( Dallas)- ( Mental Illness) - (Atkins)

Patricia - (Seattle) - (Heart Disease) - ( McQueen)

Michelle - (Charlotte,) - (Back problems) (Slater)

Harry - (Chicago) - (Cancer) - (Foster)

Amy - (Miami) - (DNA, Mapping) - (Ford)Homework help, seems easy but its hard!?

Create a grid, Down the left hand side put all possible first names:

Patricia, Harry, Amy, Michelle, Chet

Then three columns.
One column is last name, second column is place, next column is specialty.

Away from the gird put the list of names so you can inventory them
Atkins, Slater, Ford, McQueen, Foster
Seattle, Charlotte, Dallas, Miami, Chicago
cancer, heart disease, DNA mapping, mental illness. back injuries

Go down the list over and over and over. Do the easy ones first: Chet is in Dallas so write a Dallas in the place box, check Dallas of the inventory list.
Next easy one is Michelle is Slater. write a Slater in the last name column, check that off the inventory list.
Go down by Harry and the column with name put NO Atkins (small print, pencil)
Go down the list and write the box where Amy meets place and write a NO Charlotte (small print, pencil)

Go over and over, with the easy ones first, when you know McQueen, then you can put Seattle by that. Go over and over the clues, you can get it.
