A Hufflepuff Quidditch Team Logic Puzzle

By Rorey Padfoot

As an incentive to have students complete the puzzle, I am offering 5 beans to any student who HOL messages me with the correct answer. Only one answer per student, so make it count; it must be the complete answer, so please watch out for typos and spelling errors. HOL message must be received by September 23, midnight HOL time to be eligible for beans.

Have fun!

The Spiffies Get Endorsed!

This year's Hufflepuff Quidditch team was even more excited than usual, marking the emergence of five crowd-pleasing players. Each player has a high number of successfully done Quidditch moves (14, 15, 16, 17, or 18 times), including the Reverse Pass. Advertisers wasted no time signing up these budding superstars and each player has already scored an endorsement deal for a different product (including cereal). When it comes to achieving success, these players really go to the pitch! From the information provided, can you determine each player's high score, their Quidditch move, and the product she is endorsing?

  1. The five Spiffies are Tarma (who isn't endorsing a broomstick), the one who is endorsing a protein bar (who isn't Kath), the player who does the Sloth Grip Roll, the one who did their move 14 times, and the one who did their move 17 times.
  2. The players, in order time of completing their moves, from either highest to lowest or lowest to highest, are Cosmo, the one who is endorsing an energy drink, the one who does the Bludger Backbeat, Asky, and the one who is endorsing shampoo.
  3. The Spiffy who is endorsing a protein bar had a lower number of times than Lilly (who didn't do the Porskoff Ploy) but a higher number than the one who does the Double Eight Loop.
