The Race of Multi-Tasking Clowns

Many contestants entered the unicycle race, but only the best multi-tasking clown came out on top, considering that each had to juggle clubs while trying to win the race! Most of the pack were soon disqualified after dropping a club or falling off the unicycle. In the end, four of the best clowns crossed the finish line. 

From this information and the clues below, can you determine each clown's full (real) name, club color (one is silver), and placement?

Places: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th
First Names: Kyle, Matt, Jake, Leon
Surnames: Turner, Pettle, Vertigo, Wheeley
Colors: Green, Orange, Silver, Red

1. Mr. Turner (who isn't Matt) finished one place ahead of the red club juggler.

2. The four are Leon, Mr. Vertigo, the one who juggled with orange clubs, and the one who came in third place.

3. Kyle finished behind (but not one place behind) Mr. Wheeley.

4. Matt and Mr. Pettle finished consecutively, in some order.

5. The one who juggled with green clubs finished two places behind Jake.

What was the puzzle?

Let's take a look at the given data.

------------------------------------------------------------

Places: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th

First Names: Kyle, Matt, Jake, Leon


Surnames: Turner, Pettle, Vertigo, Wheeley


Colors: Green, Orange, Silver, Red


1. Mr. Turner (who isn't Matt) finished one place ahead of the red club juggler.

2. The four are Leon, Mr. Vertigo, the one who juggled with orange clubs, and the one who came in third place.

3. Kyle finished behind (but not one place behind) Mr. Wheeley.

4. Matt and Mr. Pettle finished consecutively, in some order.

5. The one who juggled with green clubs finished two places behind Jake.  


------------------------------------------------------------ 

We will make a table like below and fill it step by step.

 
 STEPS :

1] As per clue (2), Leon, Mr. Vertigo, the one who juggled with orange clubs, and the one who came in third place are supposed to be different. Hence, Leon or Vertigo didn't finish at 3. So, Pettle or Turner must be at 3.

2] But as per (1), Matt isn't a Turner, and as per (4) Matt and Pettle are two different persons. Hence, Matt didn't finish at 3 for sure.

3] As per (3), Mr. Wheely too can't be at 3 as in that case no placement would be left for Kyle. And Jake too can't be at 3 as in that case no placement would be left for the one who juggled with green clubs.

So, if Leon, Matt and Jake aren't at 3 then Kyle must be at 3 having surname Pettle or Turner.


4] With that, Mr. Wheely must have finished first as clue (3) suggests.

5] Now, as per (1), Turner didn't finish at no.4 since there would be no place for red club juggler. Also, as per (4), Pettle can't be at 4 since Matt can't be at 3 (STEP 3). Hence, at no.4, Vertigo is there.

6] As per (2), Vertigo and Leon are 2 different contestants. Also, as per clue (5) Jake can't be at no.4 as in that case there would be no place left for the one who juggled green clubs. Hence, the first name of Vertigo is Matt.

7] Now, clue (4) suggests Pettle is at no.3

8] The only place for the Turner is no.2 and by (1), Kyle Pettle is red club juggler.

9] Now, the only locations left for the contestants pointed by clue (5) i.e. for Jake and green club juggler are 2 and 4.

10] The only location left for Leon is no.1 and as per (2), Leon and orange club juggler are different. Hence, Leon must be a silver club juggler and Jake Turner is orange club juggler.
