Five people visit a bar for a drink of Scotch Whisky. They all have their drink served differently and by different bar staff. From the clues given below, can you work out which bar person served whom, how they had their Scotch and in what order they were served at the bar.
  • Someone is served a Scotch & Cola by Carmen.
  • Mrs Johnson was not served her Scotch & Ginger Ale by Marcella.
  • Mr Weiss was served by Paul.
  • The person who drinks Scotch & Cola wasn't served second.
  • The cocktail drinker was served last.
  • Marcella served the fourth person in line but they didn't order a Scotch & Soda.
  • Neither Carmen nor Hans served Mr Petit who was third in line at the bar.
  • First in line was not Miss La Rue.
Drinkers; Weiss, Muller, Petit, Johnson, La Rue
