8. Tom and Jean have not been here to dinner before so they are the guests of honor. Tom must sit on my right and Jean on your right, but I don't know how I want to seat the others: Well!!
9. I would like Janet on my left. I have a soft spot for her. You can have her? but I will not have her husband Jack next to me; I think he should be next to Mary Ann.
10. Since we do not place husbands and wives next to each other, this determined the seating of everyone, including Howard's wife Lois, and Mary Ann's husband Bill. Can you work out the seating arrangement?
12. Numbering the ten places around the table 1 to 10 as shown in the figure below, if I take the head of the table (1), my wife will sit at (6), Jean will be at (10), Tom at (5), and Janet at (2).
14. Now Marcia will not have Jack next to her so he must be at (9), because (3) would place him next to his wife. Since Mary Ann is next to Jack, she must be at (8); then Howard must be at (7), Bill at (3), and Lois at (4).
Hint: You should let x ladies go by and choose the first one with a dowry greater than the maximum of the first x. Of course you will pass the highest one if she is among the first x, but that is part of the game.
