The hired man (Posted on 2005-12-19) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Alden, Brent, Craig and David applied for a job that required the applicant:

- to be a high school graduate.
- to have at least two years of previous work.
- to be a veteran.
- to have satisfactory references.

One of them, who met more of the requirements than any of the others, was hired.

1) Each of the six possible pairs of requirements was met by exactly one man.
2) Alden and Brent are high school graduate.
3) Craig and David have at least two years of previous work.
4) Brent and Craig were both veterans.
5) David had satisfactory references.

Who was hired?

(In reply to solution: final fromatted one by surya)

Surya, if you allow me, let me tell two things:

1) When posting a possible solution, donīt give it in the subject, as you did in your first comment.

2) You donīt need to post a new comment when all you need is correct something in a previous comment. Just open your comment, and click in "edit comment".

Cheers,

Paulo

Iīm editing my comment to let you know that your reasoning in "three women, three numbers" is not correct.
