The band hookup web

[chuckro]

Three girls (Carolyn, Kate, Liz) and three guys (Jason, Michael, Ivan) are members of a college marching band. They play Saxophone, Flute, Quads, Trumpet, Tuba and Snare. And when they're not marching, they keep busy hooking up with each other. Below is a representation of their hookup web and some clues to determine who plays what and fits where. (Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely meant to mess with your head.) Note edits. This should work now.

1 --- 2

 |  \  /    \

3 -4-5 -6

 

1. The sax player is truly a player, and has hooked up with the most people.
2. Liz, having never dated Chuck (see other hookup web, too large to include here) has only hooked up with guys.
3. The two drummers have only hooked up with members of the opposite gender.
4. The snare player is male.
5. The trumpet player has hooked up with exactly three people. So has Jason.
6. Kate and Michael were spotted in the back of the band bus last weekend. It was Kate’s second hookup ever, but not her first with a guy.
7. Ivan has only hooked up with girls, at least as of this writing.
8. Carolyn does not play the saxophone.
9. The flutist has hooked up with Jason. Yes, it happened at band camp. No, it’s not like the movies.
10. Liz and Jason can't stand each other, but as they have yet to discover it's true love, they haven't hooked up.

I'm getting down to multiple solutions. Things definitively known:

Jason-1-Tuba
Michael-4-Saxophone
Ivan-6-Snare

Flute-3
Trumpet-2
Quads-5

And Kate doesn't play trumpet. But then, I think the following all still work:

Flute-3-Kate
Trumpet-2-Liz
Quads-5-Carolyn

Flute-3-Kate
Trumpet-2-Carolyn
Quads-5-Liz

Flute-3-Carolyn
Trumpet-2-Liz
Quads-5-Kate

Flute-3-Liz
Trumpet-2-Carolyn
Quads-5-Kate

The new clue #10 should solve that. Let me know if there are any other problems.

[edgehopper.livejournal.com]

That cuts out two of the options, but we still have

Flute-3-Carolyn
Trumpet-2-Liz
Quads-5-Kate

and

Flute-3-Liz
Trumpet-2-Carolyn
Quads-5-Kate

If you substitute Carolyn or Liz in place of Kate in #10, you cut it down to 1 answer.

Okay, it's Liz now. Which makes her 5-quads, Carolyn-2-trumpet, and Kate-3-Flute. Right? Gah, this was annoying. And next time, I figure out a way to post a picture.

You can draw it in MS Paint or something and upload it...either as a userpic, or if you have webspace, on that.

Yes, this is what I got.

9 ... bad camp? :)

Messing with my head is not nice. Not that'd I'd know anything about band hookup webs or anything.

[chuckro.livejournal.com]

Of course not, and neither would I.

And again--this is why I post them for editing. I'm useless as a puzzle maker without someone looking over my shoulder for typos and inconsistancies.

Baaaaaaaaaaaahahhaahahahahahaaaaa!!!

Solution(s) forthcoming, but I just had to get that laugh on the books. :)

Ok, before I can solve I have to ask this question...you say that the sax player has hooked up with the most people. However, in your graphical depiction of the hookup web, the following is true:

1 has hooked up with 3 people
2 has hooked up with 3 people
3 has hooked up with 2 people
4 has hooked up with 3 people
5 has hooked up with 3 people
6 has hooked up with 2 people

So really, nobody there qualifies as having the "most" hookups...unless you're saying that 1, 2, 4, and 5 all could be the sax player.

The graphical depiction is crap, because I can't upload pictures. The way those lines should go:

1 hooked up with 2, 3, 4
2 hooked up with 1, 4, 6
3 hooked up with 1, 4
4 hooked up with 1, 2, 3, 5
5 hooked up with 4, 6
6 hooked up with 2, 5

Ah, that is very helpful. Thanks :)
