Fast Food Folly
Bob, Sid, Mary, and Kate went out to lunch and, as it happens with fast food, they messed up the order, and put everything in one bag. There are 2 burgers, 2 fries, 3 salads, and 3 drinks. Now Bob, being a 130 lb runt, ate one of everything. Bob also had 2 more items than Mary. Sid did not eat salad as it gave him gas so the others wouldn't let him have any, but he did drink something and had 1 more item than Mary. Mary was a potato rights advocate and would not eat fries, but had one more item than Kate. Kate, believing that the aspartame in the pop would cause her memory loss, didn't drink anything, and fearing ecoli for poorly processed meat, didn't eat a burger. Nobody ate 2 of anything.
So who ate what?

This question has many multiple solutions. I came up with another one than that listed that is also correct.
Good question Mogmatt!
It looks like the solution is unique to me.
About gas from a salad: It's more likely that the gas could come from a dressing on the salad. People who are lactose-intolerant could get gas from a salad dressing that contained milk products, like sour cream or yogurt.
