Claudia, Ben, Mary and I all attended Humber College together. We got together for coffee last week to catch up. Reminiscing our college days, we laughed about how the other students said we were taking "the easy way out" because we all took business programs.
After we all left, I was trying to remember everyone's last names, programs they were enrolled in, favourite courses, and the length of their programs. Based on what I remembered, can you help me figure out all the details?
First Names: Ben, Caterina, Mary
Last Names: Delco, Thompson, Adecco
Programs: Business Admin, Business Management, Marketing
Favourite Subjects: Business Law, Accounting, Microeconomics
Program Lengths (Yrs): 2, 3, 4
Clues:
1. Caterina felt that her accounting skills would help her run her own business after graduation.
2. The student who liked Law was in school longer than the student who likes Accounting.
3. The Marketing student was not Mary.
4. Mr. Delco's favourite subject was not Accounting.
5. The three graduates were (in increasing order of program length) the Business Management graduate, the student who liked law, and Thompson.

good teaser. Somehow I got Bus. Mgt and Bus Admin mixed up in my grid. Everything else was right though. Hope to see more!
Took me awhile, but I got it.
One of the students is called Claudia in the lead-in story and Caterina in the puzzle.
Meh. I never read the lead-in story anyway.
Great teaser, by the way, I like the five-category ones - very challenging!
