The November 99 Puzzle

Chocoholic.com recently put out a bit for a storage addition to our building. We asked for proposals from a number of local constructions companies and gave them free reign to design an addition, the only requirement was that it provide a minimum of 40 square feet.

We received the estimates back in a week. From the following clues can you determine which plan each builder offered, the size of the addition they proposed and the cost of their proposal.

  • Beaver Builder's Plan-3 is at least 7 sq ft larger than the most expensive estimate

  • Nathan's Structures' proposal was not Plan-1, and neither was the 8' x 5' $8,000 proposal.

  • Harold Constructions' proposal came in at $9,500; it doesn't measure 9' x 5'.

  • Ellen's Additions' proposal offers us 55 sq ft.

  • Plan-4 offers 51 sq ft.

  • Plan-2 is priced at $11,000.

Here are the things you need to match.

Builders: Nathan's Structures, QikBuild, Harold Construction, Ellen's Additions, Beaver Builders

Cost: $8,000, $9,500, $11,000, $12,500, $14,000

Plan: Plan-1, Plan-2, Plan-3, Plan-4, Plan-5

Dimensions: 8' x 5', 8' x 8', 8.5' x 6', 9' x 5', 11' x 5'

Finished? Email us the answers, along with your name, address and phone number.

Each person who submits the correct answer will be entered in the drawing for the November chocolate prize. The winner will be selected at the beginning of December. In order to send the winner his/her prize, please submit your address along with your answer.

Good Luck!
