and February's puzzle
It is dinnertime in one of the high cylinders of Ar. On each of the four floors live four Men (two of whom are Tarl and Hesius), being served their favorite dish (three are baked suls, stewed tabuk, and broiled bint) by their devoted slavegirl. From the information provided, can you determine where each Man lives (floor and letter), the name of His slavegirl, and the dish she so lovingly serves Him?
It may help to imagine the four floors laid out as follows:
1st 2nd 3rd 4th
A B E F I J M N
C D G H K L O P
1. Each Man's initial matches either the letter of His apartment, or the first letter of the dish he was served, but not both.
2. The four first-floor residents are: Chenbar, Arn, the owner of cara, and the one who was served ta grapes. The four who reside on the second floor are: Rim, the owner of mira, the Man who was served tospits, and the Man who was served fresh dates.
3. The four third-floor residents are: Ivar, the owner of tana, the owner of hura, and the Man who was served roasted vulo. The four who reside on the fourth floor are: Sarpedon, the owner of lana, the Man who was served baked verr, and the Man who was served sa tarna bread.
4. The Man who owns telima, who served Him sliced tospit, lives on the fourth floor. The panfried rence was served by ela. Thrunock doesn't live in apartment I, whose tenant was served fresh larma.
5. Turus, who ate tumit, doesn't live in apartment L. Honey-toast (not served to Arn)was eaten by the Man who lives on a lower floor than the one who ate stewed ramberries. Marlenus wasn't served ta grapes. The owner of vella, (who isn't Thurnock) lives on a higher floor than does Rask (who is not the owner of hura.
6. The apartment tenanted by the owner of grenna is directly above Chenbar's. The apartment belonging to the owner of sheera is directly above Samos' (who was served raw sorp in the shell). Tab's apartment is directly above Hassan's. Rim's apartment is directly above that belonging to the owner of rena.
7. Ivar's apartment is directly above Kamchak's. The apartment of the Man who ate tarsk is directly above the one tenanted by the owner of tana. Verr was served in the apartment directly above Sarus' (which isn't P). The owner of midice lives directly above the owner of lana.
