Are we supposed to find all of the clans or just the #1 and it's style?

There is no answer because there are some clues missing, here's one reason why:

Clue 1 and Clue 12 pair up two things, but there are no more clues that deal with those things so the two can be switched so there are at least two solutions.

Sorry, I know nothing about Kung Fu, so maybe this is a really stupid question:

Does Hand/Foot refer to a style, weapon, or element? It doesn't sound like an element, but there are only 5 other elements I see - Fire, Air, Water, Ice and Earth.

On the other hand it does sound like a weapon, but there are already 6 other weapons: Sword, Stone, Star, Nanchuk, Sci, and Staff. And it could be a style, but I also count 6 other styles: Mantis, Monkey, Snake, Tiger, Dragon, and Crane.

So I guess Hand/Foot is an element, but it doesn't sound like that's what it should be, so wanted to clarify...

I hope something is missing becuase I'm usually pretty good at this type of puzzle.

From the clues I can only figure out that white is the first color.

Here is what I have so far with all the posibilities:

clan style color weapon element

m/x/y/se ma/t/dr White Hand/Foot a/i

m/x/y/se ma/mo/t/dr r/g sw/sci/staff/n Water

m/x/sh/y/se ma/cr/mo/sn/t/dr r/bl/p/g sw/star/sci/staff/n f/a/i/e

m/x/sh/w/y/se ma/cr/mo/sn/t/dr r/bl/p/g sw/star/sci/staff/n f/st/a/i/e

m/sh/w/y ma/cr/mo/sn/t/dr bl/p/g sw/star/n f/st/a/e

m/sh/w/y ma/mo/t/dr Blue sw/n st/e

I believe Hand/Foot is a weapon and Stone is an element. Usually you don't have both earth and stone as elements, but these are very diverse Clans.

Thanks. In that case, I'm exactly where you are, and this problem seems way too open. I agree that all we need to do is find the top ranked clan and style, but even so, I don't think there are enough clues here to get to the answer.

I thought Hand/Foot was a style...

Usually if it is no weapon they say fist, but he said Hand/Foot instead. There are already 6 other styles, but only 5 other weapons, so that is the only thing it could be.

^ That does not add anything, I got to it from the other clues...

From #13 you know that White is before Red and Black, from clues 9 and 15 you know that Green and Purple both have someone above them so they can't be first, so White is the only one that can be first...

EDIT: Oh wait sorry I thought you were the original poster...

Your answer would work except that #16 is not fufilled, where Secret is 2 above Earth.

I think this works...

1 Secret/Dragon/White/Hand/foot/Ice

2 Yovi Yai/Tiger/Green/Sci/Water

3 XaXi/Snake/Red/Staff/Earth

4 Wakidoshi/Crane/Black/Star/Fire

5 Shaolin/Monkey/Purple/Sword/Air

6 Marimotto/Mantis/Blue/Nunchucks/Stone

3 XaXi/Snake/Red/Staff/Earth

4 Wakidoshi/Crane/Black/Star/Fire

5 Shaolin/Monkey/Purple/Sword/Air

Answer No.1:

Clan/Style/Colour/Weapon/Element

Secret/Dragon/White/Hand-Foot/Air

Marimotto/Mantis/Red/Nunchuks/Water

XaXi/Crane/Black/Staff/Earth

Yovi-yai/Tiger/Purple/Sci/Ice

Shaolin/Snake/Green/Star/Fire

Wakidoshi/Monkey/Blue/Sword/Stone

Answer No.2:

Clan/Style/Colour/Weapon/Element

Secret/Dragon/White/Hand-Foot/Air

Yovi-yai/Tiger/Red/Nunchuks/Water

XaXi/Crane/Black/Staff/Earth

Marimotto/Mantis/Purple/Sci/Ice

Shaolin/Snake/Green/Star/Fire

Wakidoshi/Monkey/Blue/Sword/Stone

But in both the cases, the answers to the original question and the17th question remain the same: the master clan is the Secret clan, and this was also the clan which used the dragon style.

I hope my logic is correct.

3 Shaolin/Snake/Red/Staff/Air

4 Secret/Crane/Black/Star/Fire

5 Wakidoshi/Monkey/Purple/Sword/Stone

6 Marimotto/Mantis/Blue/Nunchucks/Earth

Both of these are different, but both work with the clues.

and one more

1 Yovi Yai/Tiger/White/Hand/foot/Ice

2 XaXi/Dragon/Green/Sci/Water

3 Secret/Snake/Red/Staff/Air

4 Shaolin/Crane/Black/Star/Fire

5 Wakidoshi/Monkey/Purple/Sword/Earth

6 Marimotto/Mantis/Blue/Nunchucks/Stone

These work if you use above and below to mean somewhere above or below rather than directly above or below. Only one step says something is directly above/below something else.

The Secret Clan is the master clan and they also have the Dragon style.

The total breakdown of the order is below:

Rank 1 Secret Clan Dragon Style White Hand/Foot Air

Rank 2 Yovi Yai Clan Tiger Style Red Nunchucks Water

Rank 3 XaXi Clan Crane Style Black Staff Earth

Rank 4 Marimotto Clan Mantis Style Purple Sci Ice

Rank 5 Shaolin Clan Snake Style Green Star Fire

Rank 6 Wakidoshi Clan Monkey Style Blue Sword Stone

Note: The clan-style sets for rank 2 and 4 can be interchanged. There is nothing in the rules that prevents it.

That may have been the correct answer, but please tell me where my answers differed from the clues given. I know of at least 4 different correct answers given the clues.

@ Katybug,

Please use the Spoiler option while posting the answer: that way more members will give the 'feedback' which, as brookspuzzel pointed out, is a most welcome phenomenon.

@ brookspuzzel,

I see that Ismither's logic is perfect. Any comments?

And by the way, I request you to please check out my previous post in this thread.
