'Zines

So, as most people who could possibly care know already, DISTRACTIONS, Princeton's esteemed puzzle magazine and one of my regular activities as an undergrad, has shuffled off this mortal coil.

Which, on some levels saddens me greatly, because neither Campus Club nor the FireHazards are in great shape either, and Koleinu's been in "recovery mode" for years. I'm not exactly leaving a campus legacy here. But that's not the point.

The point is, I enjoyed making puzzles. It was like exercise for uncommonly-used parts of my brain. And I found myself randomly making a logic puzzle during lunch the other day, possibly because I missed it. I suspect making more puzzles would be fun.

I don't know what to do with this, though. Self-publish a puzzle 'zine? Make puzzles and post them to my Livejournal? Find a place to submit them professionally (or somebody else's self-published 'zine)?

I'd love some suggestions on that. Also, if anyone is interested in playtesting/editing my puzzles, I have a tendancy to make careless errors in them that I'd prefer to catch before making them available for public consumption.

Playtest away...

There were four adventures: Rogar, Melf, Arn, and Zeik. Each had reached a different level (4, 5, 6, or 7) in their chosen class (Warrior, Wizard, Cleric, or Rogue). And each wielded a different weapon: Sword, Staff, Axe, or Mace. Given the clues below, figure out who was what at which level wielding what.

1. Rogar would never use a bludgeoning weapon, he believes them to be just for sissies and wizards.
2. Zeik is a sissy. But not a wizard. And he’s not the lowest-level character, either.
3. The Cleric has achieved the highest level.
4. Arn uses a Sword, and his level is a prime number.
5. The rogue uses an edged weapon, and is at a higher level than the wizard.
6. The staff-wielder is the lowest-level character.
7. The Warrior wields an axe, like all good warriors do.

Please post your solution, and let me know if you find a contradiction or possibility for multiple solutions.

And again

This was inspired by Brian's comment on my last one. I'm just a puzzling machine. Please let me know, again, if you find more than one unique solution or a contradiction in my clues. Edit: Some minor corrections have been made based on comments.

This is the tale of six brothers: Arnold, Barry, Chester, David, Edward, and Frank. None of them are twins, and each of them has a whole-number age. What are the brothers' ages?

1. Frank is two years older than Barry.
2. Edward is half Chester's age.
3. David is two-thirds Arnold's age.
4. Half of the brothers can legally drink in the US.
5. None of the brothers has reached retirement age.
6. Two of the brothers' ages are prime numbers. Frank's age isn't one of them.
7. David was born between Edward and Barry.
8. Chester is the oldest, Arnold is second-oldest.
9. Barry is six years older than Edward.
