Old King Cole Logic Puzzle

"Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he. He called for his pipe in the middle of the night and he called for his fiddlers three. Every fiddler had a fine fiddle, and a very fine fiddle had he." Today he is calling for them to don their Gold colored coats with red, blue or green trim and take part in the annual festival of folk music, dancing, and culture which attracts competitors from around the world. He has selected three pieces - "If I were a Rich Man", "Wedding Dance", and "The Dream", all of which sound familiarly like something from the musical "Fiddler on the Roof" - from which the fiddlers will draw and on which they will pin their hopes of taking home the spoils. Each fiddler will play at a different time. From this information and the following clues, for each each fiddler, can you determine the color of his coat, the piece he will draw and the time at which he will play?

  • 1. Fiddler number one will play last and will not wear a coat with red trim.
  • 2. The fiddler who will draw "The Dream" will wear a coat with blue trim.
  • 3. At 2:00 PM it will be fiddler number three's turn to play, after the fiddler in a coat with red trim.
  • 4. Last to play will be the fiddler in the coat with green trim who will draw "Wedding Dance".
