Logic Problem - 'Dental Problems'

The dentists at the Gatehouse Dental Center are used to occasional odd behavior from their patients, but last Monday - a wet and miserable Monday - was something else; each of the dentists had a patient with a 10.00am appointment - and, though all were in the waiting room on time, none of them actually made it into a treatment room. From the clues given, can you work out the name of each patient, the dentist with whom he or she had an appointment, the reason for that appointment and what happened when they were asked to go in to the treatment room?

DENTISTS: Mr Aike, Ms Hurte, Mr Misry, Miss Payne, Mr Smart

PATIENTS: Amy Blunt, Diane Eames, Geoff Hitch, Jack Kidd, Maggie Neill

APPOINTMENT FOR: Crown, Extraction, Filling, New dentures, Routine inspection

INCIDENT: Burst into tears, Felt sick, Fainted, Locked in loo, Ran away

 
 

CLUES

1 Maggie Neill’s appointment, which was for a routine six-monthly check-up, was with a male dentist.

2 It wasn’t the patient who had an appointment with Mr Misry who simply ran out of the door and away down the road when asked to go in to the treatment room.

3 Amy Blunt, who felt sick – too sick to see the dentist – when called into the treatment room, wasn’t the patient who was due to see Mr Aike about new dentures.

4 Ms Hurte’s patient, who wasn’t there for a filling, panicked when spoken to by the receptionist and ran to the loo and locked him- or herself in.

5 Geoff Hitch’s appointment was with Mr Smart; Diane Eames wasn’t at the Gatehouse Center to have a crown done.

6 It was the patient who had come in for an extraction who simply fainted when asked to go in.


Loads of fun :D
