LOGIC PROBLEM: Thurnus of Tabuk’s Ford was hosting a feat, so he set his slave girl Dina cooking. Every two Ahn of the day, Dina created an entree and a dessert dish.During her cooking a different slave dropped by (one was Turnip). From the information and clues, can you determine the foods each slave encountered on her visit, as well as the Ahn of her visit? 1. When Buttercup visited, she gave Dina instructions for making sullage, which Dina prepared two Ahn later. 2. "I see you’ve been busy," said Bluebell. "Would you like me to help you clean up?" "Why don’t you try some of the sa-tarna bread I just baked," said Dina to which her visitor readily agreed. This was not the Ahn that Dinamade the Cosian wingfish. 3. The Ahn after Dina made baked vulo eggs (quiche for short ~winks at > Master Pantheus~) she baked a ramberry pie. 4. Dina baked larma filled pastries the Ahn before the visit from Radish, which was the Ahn before she baked sweet cakes. 5. Dina’s roast vulo was a favorite at the feast’ she save this until the last Ahn and made a huge amount. 6. When Dina removed the sullage from the stove, she prepared slices of ka-la-na, larma, and tospit. 7. Sandal Thongs stopped in the third Ahn and asked, "What smells so good?" "It’s roast tarsk," Dina said. "I put it on the fire first thing this morning." LOGIC SOLUTION:
