    I am a puzzle/riddle freak.  Are you?   It took me and FI an embarassingly long time to figure this one out!

    Clark, Jones, Morgan and Smith are four men whose occupations are butcher, druggist, grocer, and policeman, though not necessarily respectively.

    Clark and Jones are neighbors and take turns driving each other to work.


    Jones makes more money than Morgan.

    Clark beats Smith regularly at bowling.

    The butcher always walks to work.

    The policeman does not live near the druggist.

    The only time the grocer and the policeman ever met was when the policeman arrested the grocer for speeding.

    The policeman makes more money than the druggist or the grocer.

    What is each man's occupation?

    Smith - PO

     

    ETA: It took four pieces of paper.  Don't judge.

    I love this type of riddle. I bought a whole book of them once and plowed through it in a weekend.
