Little Things

Charlie was staring off into space…John asked him what he was thinking about, and he replied, “Nutri-grain bar.”

At supper, John tried a sweet potato for the first time since I’ve met him and loved it.

Finally, mental_floss published a logic puzzle I can solve. Can you?

Bob went to the produce department at his local supermarket to buy the items on his grocery list: bananas, carrots, corn, lemons, and tangerines. Based on the clues that follow, try to determine the order in which Bob made his choices:

1. The first item Bob bought was a yellow fruit.

2. The second item Bob bought was orange.

3. The third item Bob bought was a vegetable.

4. The fourth item Bob bought was a citrus fruit.

5. The last item Bob bought was the tangerine.
