This is an example for students who may like to sketch a timeline and move objects to solve logic puzzles: Three siblings are all musically and physically talented. Each child has a private music lesson and a private sports lesson each day. Music lessons are offered at 3:30, 4:00, and 5:30 pm at the conservatory, while sports lessons are offered at the field house at 4:30, 5:00, and 6:00 pm. Betty's saxophone lesson is 60 minutes earlier than Nadine's tennis lesson, but Betty's swimming lesson is 30 minutes later than Nadine's trumpet lesson. Also, Everett's guitar lesson is earlier than Nadine's tennis lesson, and Everett's golf lesson is 60 minutes earlier than Nadine's music lesson. Can you help get the children to their practices in time by identifying the children, lessons, and times correctly?
