Three Coins in the Fountain Logic Puzzle

"Three coins in the fountain, each one seeking happy news. Thrown by three wishful thinkers, which one will the fountain choose?" Not quite the words of the song, but three young tourists - Brian, Paul, and Charlie who are all currently out of work - on a trip to Rome decide to stop at the famous Trevi Fountain, throw in a coin and make a wish. Each had only one coin which was either 10c, 20c or 50c but had the same value in relation to the granting of a wish. By coincidence each wished to play a star role, either Lucky Starr, Johnny Ladd or Justa Kidd in the up-coming movie "The Three Buddies" and each had their wish granted. From this information and the following clues, for each tourist, can you determine his normal occupation, the value of his coin and the part he wished to play in the movie?

  • 1. No tourist has an occupation starting with the same letter as his name.
  • 2. Lucky Starr was the wish of the tourist who had a 20c coin and threw last.
  • 3. The coin thrown first was 50c which belonged to the bricklayer, not Charlie.
  • 4. Johnny Ladd was the plumber's wish.
