Penthouse Peek Piques Peaks Push
The penthouse suite of Auckland's Victoria Residences has become available. Seven married couples (including Mr. and Mrs. Officer) who are current tenants (on the 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th floors) are taking advantage of an open house to have a peek at what life is like at the top. Each of the men (including Frank) has recently scaled one of the "Seven Summits" - the highest peaks of each continent (including Puncak Jaya of Oceania). Meeting each other during this peek at the penthouse has piqued their interest in scaling all the peaks. The wives (including Linda) are not climbers, but are looking forward to travelling with their husbands to each continent.
From the information given below, can you determine the first and last name of each mountaineer, the floor on which he lives, the peak that he climbed, as well as the name and hair color of his wife?
1. Nora's husband is three floors below Mr. Simpson and four floors above the man who climbed Vinson Massif. These three men are Adam, Brian, and Charles. Their wives all have the same hair color.
2. Mr. Riley is two floors below Edmund and two floors above the man who climbed Mont Blanc (who is not Mr. Peary). These three men's wives are Heidi, Iris, and Jane. Two of these women have red hair, while the other is blonde.
3. Kate's husband is somewhere below David and somewhere above the Kilimanjaro climber (who isn't Charles). These three men are Mr. Simpson, Mr. Tailor, and Mr. Upton. Two of their wives are brunette, while the other is blonde.
4. George lives somewhere below Mr. Tailor (who isn't Edmund) and three floors above Mona's husband. These three men are the ones who climbed Aconcagua, Denali, and Vinson Massif. Each of their wives has a different hair color.
