Seating Trouble
At the wedding reception, there are five guests, Colin, Emily, Kate, Fred, and Irene, who are not sure where to sit at the dinner table. They ask the bride's mother, who responds, "As I remember, Colin is not next to Kate, Emily is not next to Fred or Kate.Neither Kate or Emily are next to Irene. And Fred should sit on Irene's left." As you look at them from the opposite side of the table, can you correctly seat the guests from left to right?

fun teaser, not too hard, i liked it
your answer is backwards. the clue says fred sits on irene's left and you have him on her right.
What a silly mother she is.
That one was hard.
Sneek, it's not backwards as you seem them, he is on her right, but they are facing you, he is really on her left. Glad you guys liked it, though.
interesting...
Good job!
it's acually a brain shaker. coolllll. way to go. a little logic doesn't hurt anybody. wedding party... lots of food... really hungry.... who cares about logic.... who cares about even sitting down.......
I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY EASY..YOU COULD REALLY MAKE THOSE SO HARD...I LOVE THAT KIND OF TEASER THOUGH GOOD JOB
Dunny why i like these kinds of teasers, they arn't very difficult.. perhaps that's why. Great job.
I figured it out on paper...
It was okay not a big fan of those kind of problems.But it was neat
I feel that this teaser was very good it made me think when usualy I don't have 2.
i dont care for these type of teasers but it was good anyway maybe it s just too early in the morn to think

that was a good won you almost got me thier for a mint.
uh 1 of ur clues was wrong. it said that fred is on irene's left but in the answer fred was on irene's right! w/e good riddle though
It's not wrong as you are answering as you stand in front, looking at them. That is why it seems backwards. Glad you liked it.
that was a good 1 reminded me of 6th grade mathclass
Easy, but I liked it. That's cause it's the first one I got right. What I like to do with these is change the name to a number, so that way it is easy to see clearer. (no 1 next to 2, etc.)
I really liked this "teaser" I had a teacher once who wrote these kind of teasers on the board before class started to "stimulate" our brains... Good Job!
I liked this..it was an easy one.
Don't ask this woman for any phone numbers!
'As best as I remember, the second digit is next to a nine, the first digit is different from the second digit..."
=P
