I stumbled across this logic riddle just recently and have not solved it yet, though I intend to (it's very time consuming, maybe I'll make a hobby out of this one riddle). I thought I would share it with this forum though and perhaps have a little race between friends. The creator of the puzzle accepts emails with solutions [pm me if you want to send in your solution]. Nobody could solve this in 3 years apparently so a few extra hints were given which I have included in the spoiler (not that they spoil anything). So far, 1 person has apparently solved this. Here we go, have fun! Note: I edited it slightly to help with the grammar.
A cinema presented ten different films on Saturday. There were three presentations of each film, that began at 3 pm, 6 pm and at 9 pm.
Anna, Brenda, Claudia, Irene, Jennifer, Kelly, Martina, Rita, Sandra and Yvonne have each seen three different films on this day. They saw the first film at 3 o'clock, the second at 6 o'clock and the third at 9 o'clock. Each of the thirty presentations was visited exactly by one of these women. Each woman has a favorite actor. As real fans they have seen their favorite actors in one or two of the three films they watched.
In each of the ten films one of these favorite actors performed the lead and another favorite actor performed the supporting role. Each actor performed exactly once as the leading role and exactly once as the supporting role.
