Beach Bum Logic Puzzle

Alexandra loved the beach. She loved it so much that every three years she would pick a new destination and spend her summer vacation sunning and beach combing. As it happens, each year she brings home one souvenir she's found while browsing the beach shops. Your task is to determine in which year did she find which souvenir, which shop it was purchased in, and where she was staying when she obtained it.

  • 1. Alexandra found a lovely sharks tooth 3 years after the souvenir she bought on Topsail Island.
  • 2. The conch shell wasn't found in 2007.
  • 3. Of the souvenir she purchased in 2013 and the one she bought in Long Beach, one is the sharks tooth and the other was purchased at Saltys Marina
  • 4. She simply couldn't resist the hula girl that swayed back and forth that she saw either while she was in Santa Barbara, or while staying on Topsail Island.
  • 5. While on South Padre Island, she either purchased the Hula girl or visited Island Gifts.
  • 6. She either purchased the pearl bracelet in 2004, or while she was browsing at Ocean Treasures.
  • 7. Neither the souvenir purchased while on South Padre Island, nor the conch shell is the souvenir found in 2004.
  • 8. The souvenir she found while on Topsail Island wasn't from Ocean Treasures.
