gokul sure gets around, I had a question to ask him last night at one in the morning, but I didn't know where he was. I started asking people if they had seen him. I asked one person an hour and each one told me a different forum to look in: General Physics, General engineering, and Homework Help, to name just a few. Can you figure out who I talked to, what time I talked to them and where they told me to look?
1. It was not 1am when I spoke to Andromeda and she didn't tell me to look in General Engineering. I was given that advice from someone either immediately before or after Andromeda.
2.I spoke to dextercioby before I was told to check the politics forum but after I had spoken to Astronuc.
3.I was told to check the Chemistry forum before the Homework forum, and homework was already suggested by the time I spoke to franz.
4.The second person I talked to said he had just seen Gokul in the Chemistry Forum.
5.I found out that in Generals it is a bad idea to look for Gokul, because he wasn't in either, Physics or Engineering.
6.I talked to someone who said he saw Gokul in the Politics forum and I talked to marlon, I talked to these two people at 3 and 5 but I can't remember in which order.
7.I was told where Gokul was at 5am and he was there, but by then I had forgotten why I was looking for him in the first place.

This is a completely original tribdog puzzle. Hopefully harder than the last, hopefully with only one correct answer.
 
My answer in white:

1 Astronuc Gen. Physics
2 Dextercioby Chemistry
3 Marlon Homework
4 franz Gen. Engineering
5 Andromeda Politics

At least with tribdog originals, you know nobody else has already posted the brainteaser before. :biggrin:
 
incorrect answer, close though. but according to clue #6 incorrect.
you are a sex doctor you should have caught this one.

Grr...missed that. Very clever to sneak in a clue with such an easily overlooked word. I'll try again later if someone doesn't beat me to it.
 
Nevermind, i made a huge mistake.

Why did you not just send Gokul a private mesage? :-p

Took me a while to realize that word, I think it is the one Moonbear is referring to.

Here is my answer:

1am: Astronuc: Gen physics
2am: Dexter: Chemistry
3am: Marlon: Gen Engineering
4am: Andromeda: Homework
5am: Franz: Politics
 
1, Astro, GP
2, Dex, Chem
3, Marlon, GE
4, Andro, Home
5, Franz, Politics[/color]
Am I the weiner?
