| From the introduction, the four diners sat at the sides of a square table.
By clue 1, Henry sat directly opposite the man who ordered crab imperial.
Henry did not order French fries (clue 10), so in clue 6, either Henry is
Whiting or Whiting and the diner who had French fries are the other two
to Henry and the crab imperial fan. If Henry were Whiting, the man who
had crab imperial would also have had French fries (6). Henry didn't have
the soft shell crabs (10), so by clue 2, Kenny would have ordered the crab
imperial. By clue 7, however, Kenny isn't Bass--and there is no way for
clue 3 to work given this arrangement. So, Whiting and the diner who had
French fries (6) are the other two to Henry and the crab imperial fan in
clue 1. Whiting sat to Henry's left or right. If Whiting had been seated
to Henry's left, with the man who had French fries as his potato to Henry's
right, Henry didn't have the soft shell crabs (10), so by clue 2, Kenny
would have ordered the crab imperial. Since Ian isn't Whiting (11), he
would have sat to Kenny's left and Kenny would be Bass (3)--no (7). So,
in clue 6, Whiting sat to Henry's right with the man who had French fries
as his potato to Henry's left. Henry didn't have the soft shell crabs (10),
so by clue 2, Kenny would have ordered the crab imperial and Whiting the
soft shell crabs. Ian isn't Whiting (11), so Ian had French fries with his
crab entree. Jeffrey is Whiting. Henry is Bass (3). By clue 6, Whiting's
vegetable choice wasn't broccoli. By clue 12, then, Ian didn't order crab
au gratin; Henry had crab au gratin, and Ian enjoyed the Crab Shack's
signature crab cakes. Kenny chose broccoli (12). Ian didn't have green
beans with his crab cakes (4); by clue 9, Jeffrey had green beans and Henry
mashed potatoes. By clue 8, Kenny is Trout; and Henry had red beets as his
vegetable. By elimination, Ian is Mr. Salmon and had cauliflower. Finally,
Jeffrey had scalloped potatoes and Kenny the baked potato (5). In sum,
the four enjoyed the Crab Shack seated in clockwise order:
- Henry Bass, crab au gratin, mashed potatoes, red beets
- Ian Salmon, crab cakes, French fries, cauliflower
- Kenny Trout, crab imperial, baked potato, broccoli
- Jeffrey Whiting, soft shell crabs, scalloped potatoes, green beans
