On a recent Saturday evening in Winchester, the Hastons
invited the Pleachers and three other couples over for
a barbecue and a round of Monopoly. After dinner, the
board was set up, and all five couples voted to play
as teams.
When all the property was bought and all the trading
finished, each team owned two complete blocks of
property with not a single odd property left over.
(The railroads and the utilities are each considered
a block of property). From the clues given, can you
name the couples, name the blocks of property each
owned, and rank them in order from winner to loser?
- George, who is not Mr. Muller, threw four 10's
in a row and paid Ann Dunn each time.
- Art, his wife, and the Lowes owned the only
properties on which you cannot build hotels.
- Bob is not Mr. Haston, and Sue is not Mrs.
Pleacher.
- Peg and her husband - who owned the utilities --
and the Dunns owned the only street properties
whose name does not include "Avenue" or "Place."
- Bev and her husband owned both properties with
"Saint" in their names.
- Tom and his wife owned only four pieces of
property, but won the game because they owned
the most expensive hotels.
- The Hastons placed second because they owned most
of one side of the board; third place went to Ben
and his wife; fourth to Art and his wife; and the
losers were the Pleachers.
- Ben and his wife owned five pieces of property.
Dot and her spouse owned the block of three
properties immediately following Ben's block of
two. Dot and her spouse also owned the block
directly across from their block of three.
