From the first until the last last,
Beauty taketh away,
And with danger, comes fast.

Murdoc got them both. He's also barred from the next set kg riddles.

QuoteLike dancing steps,
In rhythmic tension;
My balanced face protects,
With lasting impression.

And Murdoc is not allowed to participate in this one, he's won enough already.

And an easier logic puzzle. For real this time.

QuoteThere are 5 ships in a port:

1. The Greek ship leaves at six and carries coffee.
2. The Ship in the middle has a black chimney.
3. The English ship leaves at nine.
4. The French ship with blue chimney is to the left of a ship that carries coffee.
5. To the right of the ship carrying cocoa is a ship going to Marseille.
6. The Brazilian ship is heading for Manila.
7. Next to the ship carrying rice is a ship with a green chimney.
8. A ship going to Genoa leaves at five.
9. The Spanish ship leaves at seven and is to the right of the ship going to Marseille.
10. The ship with a red chimney goes to Hamburg.
11. Next to the ship leaving at seven is a ship with a white chimney.
12. The ship on the border carries corn.
13. The ship with a black chimney leaves at eight.
14. The ship carrying corn is anchored next to the ship carrying rice.
15. The ship to Hamburg leaves at six.

Which ship goes to Port Said? Which ship carries tea?

*As a reminder, logic puzzles require you to show your working as to how you got your answer.

Ship #1 is a French ship with a blue Chimney, bringing Tea to Genoa
Ship #5 is a Spanish ship with a Green Chimney, bringing Corn to Port Said

My work:
French blu chimney<->Greek ship 6 coffee
middle blk chimney 8
english ship 9
cocoa<->to Marsay(white? rice?)<->spanish (grn chimney?) 7 (corn?)
Brazil to manilla
rice<->grn chimney
to genoa 5
red chimney to hamburg 6

Greek Ship carries coffee

<->Black leaves at 8 marsay Rice<->Spanish 7

1-2-3-4-5
1(English)-2-3(Black)-4(Greek Coffee Red Hamburg at 6)-5(Genoa at 5)
1(French Blue to Genoa at 5)-2(Greek Coffee at 6)-3(Black)-4(Cocoa)-5(English at 9 to Marseille)
1(French Blue Rice)-2(Greek Green Coffee at 6)-3(Cocoa Black at 8)-4-5(Spanish Corn)
French Blue Rice->Greek Green Coffee-> English Cocoa Genoa at 5->Brazil to Marseille->Spanish Corn
English ship leaves at 9
Brazil to Manila is 3 or 4

Corn and Rice are together
Greek Ship has Coffee and is to the right  the French ship with a blue chimney
The English ship leaves at 9, the ship with the black chimney leaves at 8, so the english ship is not in the middle
Cocoa->Marsellie->Spanish

Ship #1|Ship #2|Ship #3|Ship #4|Ship #5
Blue|Red|Black|White|Green
x|Coffee|Cocoa|Rice|Corn
Genoa|Hamburg|Manilla|Marsellie|x
French|Greek|Brazil|English|Spanish
5|6|8|9|7
Red Hmburg is 2, or 5; Hamburg leaves at six, so Hamburg is 2
Genoa leaves at 5
7 next to white chim, 1 or 5, 5 since 1 is red, 2 is blue
Greek Coffee is 1 or 2 (Can't be 4, because it is to the left of the french ship, which has a blue chimney
French blue is left of greek coffee, can't be on right of black chimney, because spanish is 5

Correct.
