Five friends (Men: Larry, Harry, and Jerry; Women: Carrie and Mary) each had trouble getting to work one day. Identify which friend used which mode of transport, and the corresponding reason they were late to work.
FRIENDS: Larry, Carrie, Harry, Mary, and Jerry.
MODES OF TRANSPORT: Car, Motorcycle, Bus, Bike, Walk
REASONS: Construction, Flat tire, Accident, Storm, Traffic signal
CLUES:
1. Neither of the women took public transportation.
2. Mary is still fuming over that faulty traffic signal.
3. The rider on two wheels (who wasn't Carrie) decided to wait out the storm.
4. Harry passed Carrie (who wasn't affected by construction or the storm) on his way to work. She later caught up to him because he forgot to pack his air pump.
5. Jerry hoped to bypass other vehicles on the road by letting someone else drive, but the construction delays were too much.
6. Larry and Mary worked too far away to walk to work and were glad they had full tanks of gas.
7. The walker was an eyewitness to an accident and had to wait around to give a statement to police.
