Answer 1

I thought "next but one" meant with one person in between? And "immediately to the right/left" meant directly side by side?

If so, E and F above are not right if Steve cannot be immediately next to Grimy/Blue (Clue #6).

A = Droopy Penny Orange
B = Grotty Frank Green
C = Fusty Dilly Pink
D = Nasty Steve Lilac
E = Spotty Jo Yellow
F = Grimy Nicci Blue

Steps I took:

(1) F is either Grimy or Grotty
#4 = not Spotty/Nasty
#1 = not Fusty
#3 = not Droopy
#5,#2,#4 = E cannot be Penny, so F cannot be Grotty
So F must be "Grimy"

(2) #1 = Fusty/Lilac/Jo must be C, D, E

(3) A = Penny/Orange and B = Grotty/Pink
And the rest by process of elimination using minor clues.

I think this puzzle was confusing because the nicknames and the real names were hard to distinguish (Dilly?) and the "next but one" wording was not clear. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

I used an excel worksheet to solve this, so if you want that, just mail me at [e-mail]

A Penny Orange "Spotty"
B Frank Green "Futsy"
C Dilly Lilac "Droopy"
D Jo Pink "Nasty"
E Steve Yellow "Grotty"
F Nicci Blue "Grimy"

I interpreted "next but one" as adjacent, but that may not be right.

Or if there into the somewhat kinky stuff then they are going to be hooking up with between the reject reindeer.
