Brain Teasers
Hunt the Wumpus
You are playing Hunt the Wumpus.
In this game, the goal is to kill a wumpus from an adjacent room (by shooting an arrow from an adjacent room).
However, there are obstacles that will interfere with the player.
The first of these obstacles is a bottomless pit. There are two of them in the game (each room has a 10% chance of having a pit). Enter a room with a pit and you lose. When you are in a room adjacent to that of a room with a pit, a warning will come up saying "You feel a draft".
The second obstacle is bats. Bats are just like pits, except that bats will randomly take you to any of the 20 rooms (even if the room has a pit or a wumpus) However, I have not included bats in this teaser.
Each room has 3 adjacent rooms.
In Room #7-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 6, Room 17, and Room 8.
In room #1--There is a draft. Exits are Room 5, Room 2, and Room 8
In room # 4-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 5, Room 6, and Room 14
In room #6-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 5, Room 7, and Room 16.
In room # 18-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 9, Room 17, and Room 16
In room #16-- There is a draft. Exits are Room 6, Room 17, and Room 18
In room #3-- A wumpus is in one of the adjacent rooms. Exits are Room 4, Room 2, and Room 13.
In room #5-- A wumpus is in one of the adjacent rooms. Exits are Room 4, Room 6, and Room 14.
Your mission is as follows:
A.Find out the two rooms that have pits.
B.Find out what room the Wumpus is in.

B.Find out what room the Wumpus is in.
Hint
Each room that a draft could be felt from has only ONE room with a pit adjacent to that room.Another clue is one of the rooms that I am giving a clue from (in room ??) has a pit in THAT room.
Answer
The pits are in rooms 5 (yes one of the clues was in a pit room, but I, being the teaser creator have the power to fly in my imaginary teaser) and 17 and the wumpus is in room 4.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer

In room 1 there is an exit to room 5, but in room 5 there is not an exit to room 1. Try drawing this puzzle on paper, it can't be done.

Well, that was a long 5 seconds
Also, room 6 has 3 exits, but room 4 has it as an exit, making 4 adjacent rooms.
There is a possible alternate solution if you were to figure that you can't be in the room with a Wumpus. If that is the case, then the answer would be the Wumpus was in room 13.
But you gave a clue from room 4, so I guess along with your flying abilities, we're assuming you're not able to be attacked by the wumpus.

Figured out rooms with pit quickly but room with wumpus I kept coming up with 4 and 14. After seeng answer, I re-read clues and realized that I had misread clues - I thought there were 2 rooms with a wumpus in them not just one.
The problem has too many contradications to be worthwhile..
room 4 is adjacent to room 6, however room 6 is not adjacent to room 4... ????
what kind of magic rooms are these?
I thought it was pretty easy. based on the clues I got it right away. it was fun.
The first time I looked at this puzzle I tried to figure it out on paper and found it impossible but this time I just looked at the clues,no paper, and found it to be easy.
The puzzle sounds a whole lot harder than it is. A map is useless.
This is a very fun riddle!!
