Winter can also be very painful, as these five people discovered last week at U(W). They each had an accident, which led to some sort of injury, on a different day of the week, and each in a different place on campus. Can you figure out each person's first name (all start with the letter J), last name (one is Smitherson-Jones), location on campus (nearest building), type of accident (one was caused by an icy pathway), and the day of the week each person was injured (M,T,W,R,F)?
- The five people who were injured are: Jim; Davidson; the person who tripped up a flight of steps; the person who was injured on Tuesday; and the person whose accident occurred near the Dana Porter Library.
- Smitherson-Jones was injured outside the MC before the person who got into a snowball fight near the Optometry parking lot (not Vansicle).
- Jedediah, who is a little guy, was blown off the edge of a hill by a strong wind the day after Jodie had her accident.
- Ms Vansicle had her accident before the person who was injured outside the Psychology-Anthropology-Sociology building.
- Popodopolous was injured on Thursday. He was not wearing orange.
- Jodie's accident (not at Dana Porter) happened before Vansicle's.
- Jan was injured when she slid down a treacherous icy pathway, after Julianne (not Ms Davidson) had her accident.
- The person who accidentally walked into a frozen lamppost with their tongue was injured the day after Kent had his accident outside the Grad House, and sometime before the incident at the PAS.
- The event at Optometry occurred before Jan's injury.
- The tumble up the steps occurred before the accident at Dana Porter, which was before the snowball fight.
