Three Sportsman


Left: Tom, yellow, 5;
Middle: Jim, red, 7;
Right: Sam, blue, 6.

From clue 4, the red suit's number must be greater than Sam's number, and must be odd. By trial and error, the possible combinations are (3,2), (5,4), (7,3), (7,6).
From clue 1, the square can only be 324 or 576, where 3 or 7 is the red suit's number.
From clue 3, the square must be 576, and 5 is the yellow suit's number and 6 the blue one.
From clue 2, Tom must be the 5 and Jim the 7.

Chris's Birthday

  If today is January 1st, and December 31st was Chris' birthday and she turned 8, and on December 30 Chris was 7, and this year Chris will turn 9, then next year Chris is turning 10.

The Antisocial Club

  The first person must take either stool 9 or 17 (because of symmetry, it doesn't matter which). Assume they pick seat 9. The next person will pick seat 25, since it is the furthest from seat 9. The next two people will take Seats one and 17. The next three will occupy 5, 13, and 21. The next six will occupy 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, and 23. This seats the maximum of 13 people, and no one is sitting next to another person. If a seat other than 9 or 17 is chosen first, the total bar patrons will be less than 13.
