Where’s wallet?

Read the story and at the same time use the grid on the left to record any definite positive facts with a tick and any definite negative facts with a cross. You should then be able to work out more as you cross-refer the facts.

Jake is notorious among his friends for forgetting his wallet and it’s not unusual for him to owe money to a number of people at any one time. He currently owes people £30 and is showing no signs of paying up. At the moment, Jake owes Diana more than £5. He borrowed money from Richard to buy some birthday cards, but not on the day when he claimed to have left his wallet on top of the fridge. Jake borrowed more than £4 from Yvonne when he left his wallet in his briefcase and Kevin was not the friend from whom he took the smallest of his five loans. Jake had to borrow £7 for his train fare over a fortnight ago. He needed to borrow some money to pay for petrol when he left his wallet in his ‘other jacket’, but the friend who lent it to him was not Victoria, who is owed £2 more than was borrowed from the person who helped out when Jake left his wallet on his bedside table. It was not to buy a round of drinks that Jake required the £8 he had to borrow when he left his wallet in his ‘other trousers’.

Can you work out which friend is owed how much by Jake, what he needed the money for and the whereabouts of the borrower’s wallet at the time of need?
