LOGIC PROBLEM Every week, Sesame Street is “sponsored by” one number and one letter. There are five episodes in a week-one on each of the following days-Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. However, the producers lost the list of this week’s sponsors.

SESAME STREET SPONSORSHIP Clues: Letters: • • The episode with the letter Q is later in the week • A • than the episode with the letter R, but earlier in the G week than the episode with the number 7. • Q • The episode focusing on the number 2 is on • H • Thursdays. R • The episode focusing on the letter H isn’t on • Mondays. Numbers: • 11 • The episode focusing on the letter G, the episode • 2 focusing on the letter Q, and the episode focusing • on the number 2, are everyone’s favorites. 4 • 9 • The episode focusing on the letter H is the day • 7 • before the episode focusing on the letter A, which is the day before the episode focusing on the letter G.
