Professor Egghead was talking to a colleague who told him about a dinner party he had attended with his wife. The colleague told him the following things about the party:
- There were four married couples present.
- Each person had a unique hobby.
- The eight people were seated around a dinner table with the host and hostess at either end and three people seated on either side.
- Only one married couple were seated beside each other.
- A man was seated on either side of the hostess.
- A woman was seated on either side of the host.
- The hostess likes to ride horses.
- Donna collects stamps.
- Carol and her husband were seated on the same side of the table.
- The piano player was seated next to his brother-in-law.
- The person who grows roses was seated next to the person who does needlepoint.
- Frank was seated directly across from the person who builds model planes.
- Harold is seated to the immediate right of the hostess.
- George and Betty were seated directly across from each other.
- Alice is married to Edward.
- Donna's sister-in-law is seated directly across from Carol.
- The piano player was seated next to the hostess.
- The stamp collector's husband was seated across from the model plane builder.
- Carol was seated immediately to the left of George.
- Alice is married to the fisherman.
- The person who does needlepoint was seated across from the actress.

You can find a table showing the matches and seating arrangement here: http://www.geocities.com/oosterwal/puzzle/dinnerpartya.html
This one was good but can you post more puzzles like the International Neighbors? I LOVED it. I hadn't done logic puzzles like this since middle school and now I'm hooked. Please keep them coming!
It's me, from the future! Geocities doesn't exist anymore. Could you post a solution? I'd love to use this puzzle in a D&D game I'm running. Thank you!
