A family medical practice has four doctors that work during the day (Dr. Karp, Dr. Moore, Dr. Conwit, and Dr. Nguyen). The computer somehow mixed up the records for some of the appointments (10:10 a.m., 11:05 a.m., 10:05 a.m., and 11:30 a.m.). The nurse who is trying to fix the records knows that Nathan, Michael, Jose, and Matthew made the appointments. The patients have already been to their doctor a different number of times (zero, one, two, and three).
Help the nurse by figuring out which doctor each patient is going to see, the number of times they have already seen the doctor, and the time of their appointment.
1. Dr. Conwit read in his charts that his patient has previously seen him three times.
2. Dr. Karp did not schedule any appointments before 11:00 a.m.
3. The person who has an appointment at 10:05 a.m. has already been to the same doctor, however the patient is not the one who has been to the doctor either three or zero times.
4. Dr. Conwit did not schedule any appointments before 11:25 a.m.
5. Dr. Moore did not schedule any appointments before 9:55 a.m.
6. Dr. Moore read in his charts that his patient has previously seen him two times.
7. Dr. Nguyen did not schedule any appointments before 9:45 a.m.
8. Dr. Karp read in his charts that his patient has previously seen him one time.
9. Dr. Karp is not currently accepting new patients.
10. Jose's appointment is after Nathan's and before Michael's.
11. Michael's appointment is 1 hour and 20 minutes after Matthew's appointment.
12. Michael has been to the doctor either three or one time.
