Six friends are sitting around a circular table playing hot potato: Ben, Angela, Natalie, Justin, Qiao Qiao, and Sam. Ben is a potato farmer, and one of his friends is also. They refer to each other as the “spud buds.”
Figure out who Ben’s spud bud is, and place the friends in their proper chairs around the table (see the figure), given that:
Angela starts with the potato, though she is not a potato farmer.
Sam is not next to Angela.
Natalie is sitting across from (but not opposite) Justin.
Justin is sitting opposite Ben's spud bud.
The friend sitting next to the friend sitting opposite Natalie is Angela.
The friend sitting next to the friend sitting opposite Ben's spud bud is Sam.
Sam is also sitting opposite the friend sitting to Ben’s left
Solution
Qiao Qiao is Ben’s spud bud.
