The programme begins with song not sung by B and ends with dance. C performs mimicry immediately after the speech. E performs drama just before the dance. D or F is not available for the last performance. The speech is not given by A. An interval of 30 minutes is given immediately after mimicry with three more items remaining to be performed. D performs immediately after the interval.......................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ......Question:-Who was the first performer?........................................ ...........(a) D (b) E(c) A(d) Data Inadequate----------------------------I am getting the answer(c) _............................Because, the first performer will be either A or F......F is not here, so I think I can tell from the options that It is A...........But, in the book they have given the 4th option (4) Data Inadequate...........So, friends please help me solving this problem...............Yours Faithfully, STEEL.

If u look carefully.. this is how u go abt it..
after interval there r 3 events. drama and dance being last 2.
mimicry and speech occur in succession and song starts.
1, song
2 speech
3 mimicry -- c
BREAK
4 story -- d
5 drama -- e
6. dance
This is all tht u can decipher. see if u can find how to allocate A,B,F to those 3 events.

Last one week, most of u fellows would be wondering how to spend time.

I'm damn sure that u've been advised by ur counsellors not to learn any new fundas at this time.

I'd say solving puzzles ain't a bad way to spend time.

The following link has a comprehensive selection of puzzles

[ wu :: riddles(intro) ]

P.S: Solve them for strictly recreational purposes.
Njoy!
