At a recent athletics meeting, five old acquaintances: Fred, Greta, Hans,
Iolo and Jan met together for the first time since leaving school, so they
had a lot of news to catch up on.
It seemed they all lived in different towns: Acton, Buswick, Coalford,
Derby and Eccles; and that they all had different jobs which were, in no
particular order: an engineer, a lawyer, a teacher, a doctor and a
shopkeeper.
To round it off, each one was the winner in just one event at the meeting.
These were: 100 metres, 400 metres, 1500 metres, High Jump and
Javelin.
The following facts were also known:
1. Hans the shopkeeper from Derby won the High Jump.
2. The lawyer was from Eccles and said he was not a runner.
3. Greta was P.E. teacher from Buswick and won the 1500 metres

6. Iolo was an engineer from Coalford and did not win the 400 metres.
