Off the Bench

Very Easy — logic-grid deduction puzzle

Four substitutes came on in the second half, and the rain washed away the sheet that said when each one came on and in which shirt.

In the second half of a group match, the coach started making changes. Wendell, Joaquin, Florian and Magnus came off the bench one at a time, at minute 58, minute 66, minute 74 and minute 81. Nobody else came on in between, so each change followed straight on from the one before. Each of them wore a different shirt number. After the final whistle, the sheet that said who came on when, and in which shirt, was left out in the rain and washed blank. Can you put it back together?

Clues

  1. Wendell came on after Florian but before Magnus.
  2. Minute 58 had already passed when Magnus came on, and minute 81 was still to come.
  3. Put together, the shirt numbers of Florian and Wendell came to 21.
  4. The player in shirt 14 came on earlier than the player in shirt 7.
  5. The very next change after shirt 20 brought on shirt 11.
