LOGIC PROBLEM:

On their trek up the Ua, Tarl and his fellow travellers encountered six 
waterfalls (Dancind Slave Falls, Mamba Falls, Marcher Falls, Rock Spider 
Falls, Taluna Falls, and Ua Falls).  They had to trudge up each one for a 
different length.  (10, 25, 42, 62, 84, or 105 gorean feet) to reach the 
tops.  The group stayed a different length of time at each waterfall (4, 6, 
8, 10, 12, or 18 ahn).  At each site, Tarl killed a different animal (Fish, 
Monkey, Tabuk, Tarsk, Tharlarion, and Zeder) for them to eat.

>From the clues can you determine the order in which the group encountered 
each waterfall, the length of distance to reach the top of each, the animal 
eaten, and the amount of time spent at each location?

1)  Tarl's group arrived at "Dancing Slave Falls" immediately before the 
waterfall they rested the longest at.

2)  They stayed 4 ahn longer at "Marcher Falls" than at the waterfall where 
they dined on roast Tarsk.  (Which was immediately before the one where they 
ate Tabuk).

3)  The first waterfall (where they stayed 12 ahn) was higher than both a 
waterfall with an odd number of feet in height and the 4th waterfall 
combined.

4)  Tarl killed a zeder at the last waterfall, which wasn't "Mamba Falls" 
(Which had greater ascencion than the second waterfall).

5)  The group ate tharlarion at "Ua Falls", which they arrived at 
immediately after "Taluna Falls"

6)  They arrived at "Rock Spider Falls" immediately after the waterfall with 
the greatest height and immediately before the falls where they ate monkey.

7)  Fish was eaten at the waterfall where they spent 4 ahn longer than the 
waterfall that was 62 feet in height.

8)  The group travelled an even number of feet to reach the waterfall where 
they stayed 6 ahn.

9)  The monkey was eaten at the site where they stayed 4 ahn longer than the 
waterfall that was the smallest feet in heighth.

1- Taluna Falls  - 84 feet - Fish       - 12 Ahn
2- Ua Falls      - 10 feet - Tharlarion - 6 Ahn
3- Dancing Slave Falls - 105 feet - Tarsk - 4 Ahn
4- Rock Spider Falls - 42 feet - Tabuk - 18 Ahn
5- Mamba Falls - 25 feet - Monkey - 10 Ahn
6- Marcher Falls - 62 feet - Zeder - 8 Ahn
