Following the swimsuit round, the number of entrants in the Mr. Maine muscleman contest was whittled down to five finalists: Arnold, Curtis, Kent, Rocky, and Vaughn. Each hails from a different Maine city: Bangor, Lewiston, Old Town, Portland, and Skowhegan. For the final event, the weightlifting competition, each man lifted a different number of pounds: 315, 330, 345, 375, and 390. Only one winner will be treated to the traditional prize: an all-you-can-eat lobster dinner! Determine the city each finalist hails and the number of pounds each finalist lifted during the contest.
1. Kent (who isn't the man from Lewiston) lifted the heaviest weight. The man from Bangor lifted the lightest weight.
2. Arnold (who didn't lift 330 pounds) lifted exactly 15 pounds more than the man from Old Town. The man from Skowhegan lifted exactly 45 pounds more than Rocky.
3. Curtis didn't lift 375 pounds.

Oops! Sorry about that!
Super easy, but fun. Those weird town names made me stop for a second, but that's because I'm not familiar with Maine.
that was confusing,but maybe it was because of the town names...but other than that it was fun & e-z
