We have a five developers in our small business. We are moving to a new building, and each of the developers is supposed to have a customized workspace with specific post it notes, their favorite beverage, and a poster that is themed to the language they specialize in. The developers sit in a line of offices, so left and right refer to their relative placement in the office layout.
Unfortunately, the project manager quit, leaving all the supplies in a single box. The new project manager wants to impress the developers as they move in. Unfortunately, interviews with the support staff have given a limited number of clues. Can you solve the puzzle and help the project manager ensure that each developer gets in the right office with the correct supplies?
