schmericaThe introduction for the logic problem I am working on right now (#1 from Penny Press World-Class Logic Problems, Autumn 2003):
Every Thursday, five friends meet at the Cover to Cover bookstore for their amateur writers' group, where they trade stories and offer each other helpful criticism. One week, the five (two of whom--Adam and Neil--are men, and three of whom--Faith, Holly and Rhonda--are women) felt a collective case of writer's block, so they gave themselves a little creative assignment to try to shake it off. Each person was to come up with a story that encompassed characters from famous books. The next week, the five returned to the group energized and ready to discuss their stories. Each person wrote a narrative in whcih a different well-known literary hero (Holden Caulfield, Martin Chuzzlewit, Natty Bumppo, Rhett Butler, or Tom Jones) meets a different literary heroine (Anna Karenina, Emma Bovary, Hester Prynne, Jane Eyre, or Tess Durbeyfield). No two stories have the same title (one is entitled "For Keeps"). While these stories aren't exactly literary canon, the five agree that they sure were a blast to write! From the information provided, can you determine the author of each story, as well as the famous literary hero and heroine featured in it?
Hee. Hee hee hee.
