Sy's Puzzle

Note: This is not a three minute mystery. It took me quite a bit longer than three minutes. :slight_smile:

Six men hold six different jobs, and pursue six different hobbies. It so happens that each man’s hobby is the occupation of one of the others. One, for example, is a forest ranger, while another spends his weekends camping. One is a TV repairman, another an electronics hobbyist. One is a cab driver and another races cars for fun. Two of the six make jewelry. From the following clues, can you determine each man’s occupation and hobby?

  1. Al’s hobby is Ed’s occupation.

  2. Barney and Ed are photographers.

  3. One of the drivers is a carpenter.

  4. Charlie and Rick are the outdoorsmen.

  5. Frank is a carpenter.

  6. Charlie’s occupation, which is not cab driving, is Frank’s hobby.

  7. Al’s occupation is Rick’s hobby.

  8. The forest ranger does not make jewelry.
    Good luck.

BTW, 5 minutes (maybe 10).

God is my co-pilot. Blame Him.

Sheesh. Okay, next time I pick a HARD one.
