Some men and women formed a camaro car club that met for dinner once a month.

The club members were three women – April, Carla and Ellen and three men – Basil, Derek and Felix.
At each monthly dinner, the chairs in which they sat were arranged this way around a table:

At the first dinner:

Each of April and Basil sat on a woman’s immediate left.
Each of Carla and Derek sat on a man’s immediate right.
Each of Ellen and Felix sat directly across from a man.
The president of the club sat on a woman’s immediate left and directly across from a man.

Who was the President of the club?

Trick question: no one named "Basil" would own a Camaro.

There's likely a member on this forum named basil and they are going to come after you! hahaha

Basil is the President

___E___A
F----------B
___D___C

It also works like:

___C___D
B----------F
___A___E

Interestingly, Stieger's arrangement also works and still has Basil as the President...so, add these answers as correct as well:

___B___E
C----------A
___F___D

&

___D___F
A----------C
___E___B

makes sense that there are numerous answers. It's just messing with the combination. So as long as the order is B, C, D (or F), F (or D), E, then A it works.

CamaroSkooter · 12-19-2011, 04:21 PM

Yeah, but if you start with B and move counter-clockwise:

mine:
B-C-D-F-E-A
yours:
B-E-A-D-F-C
