Solution to:
The Round Table
From the second statement, we know that the six people sat at the table in the
following way (clockwise and starting with Helen's husband):
Helen's husband, woman, man, woman, man, Esther
Because Helen did not sit beside her husband, the situation must be as follows:
Helen's husband, woman, man, Helen, man, Esther
The remaining woman must be Anna, and combining this with the first statement,
we arrive at the following situation:
Helen's husband, Anna, man, Helen, Victor, Esther
Because of the third statement, Jim and Roger can be placed in only one way,
and we now know the complete order:
Helen's husband Roger, Anna, Jim, Helen, Victor, Esther
Conclusion: the name of Helen's husband is Roger.
