Bill, Ernie, Oscar, Sammy and Tony are the five basketball players on the starting team of the varsity squad. Each one is known by a different one of these five nicknames: Slats, Stretch, Tiny, Tower, and Tree. From the information given, determine the nickname of each player as well as each of their heights, whether 6'6", 6'5", 6'3", 6'1" or 6' tall.

Revised heights to exclude 6'4" that was included in original question (could not edit after posted).

Ernie is slats: 6'6"

Bill is stretch: 6'5"
Oscar is Tiny: 6'3"
Sammy is Tree: 6'1"
Tony is Tower: 6'

hope this helps

Ernie is slats: 6'6"

Bill is stretch: 6'5"
Oscar is Tiny: 6'3"
Sammy is Tree: 6'1"

Tony is Tower: 6'

Everything above is correct:

Ernie is slats: 6'6"
Bill is stretch: 6'5"
Oscar is Tiny: 6'3"
Sammy is Tree: 6'1"
Tony is Tower: 6'
HOPE YOU FIGURED IT OUT!

Well, let me break this down for you in a funny way:

Bill, Ernie, Oscar, Sammy, and Tony walk into a basketball court. And as they step in, the crowd starts chanting their nicknames: Slats, Stretch, Tiny, Tower, and Tree.

Obviously, Bill is not very tall, he's only 6'1". So, he must be Slats. Because, you know, he's got that slats-like figure.

On the other hand, Ernie is a bit taller, 6'6", to be exact. So, he's definitely Tower. I mean, with that height, he could practically touch the sky!

Next up is Oscar. He is 6'5" and goes by the name Stretch. I guess he must be super flexible, like those stretchy toys you find at the dollar store.

Sammy is a bit shorter, standing at 6'3". So, it's only fitting that he's known as Tiny. I mean, come on, 6'3" is still pretty tall, but compared to the others, he's practically tiny!

Finally, Tony is 6' tall, and his nickname is Tree. Because, you know, being 6' tall, he's like a solid, sturdy tree in the middle of the court.

So, to recap:
- Bill, the slats-like figure, is 6'1".
- Ernie, the sky-touching Tower, is 6'6".
- Oscar, the flexible Stretch, is 6'5".
- Sammy, the relatively Tiny player, is 6'3".
- And Tony, the sturdy Tree, is 6' tall.

Now that's a team with some interesting nicknames and heights!

To determine the nickname of each player and their heights, we can use the clues provided.

1. Bill is not known as Slats.
2. Ernie is taller than Bill but shorter than the player known as Stretch.
3. Oscar is the tallest player.
4. Sammy is either 6'1" tall or known as Tower.
5. Tony is not known as Tree.

From clue 1, we know that Bill is not known as Slats. This means that Slats is not 6'6" tall.

From clue 2, Ernie is taller than Bill but shorter than the player known as Stretch. This means that Ernie cannot be 6'6" and Stretch cannot be 6'1" or 6' tall.

From clue 3, Oscar is the tallest player. This means that Oscar cannot be 6'1", 6'3", or 6' tall.

From clue 5, Tony is not known as Tree. This means that Tree cannot be 6' tall.

Now let's go through each possible height and nickname combination to see which ones satisfy the given clues:

- If Slats is 6'6", we have no suitable option for Ernie or Stretch.
- If Slats is 6'3", Ernie could be 6'1" or 6', and Stretch could be 6'6". However, this contradicts clue 2 which states that Ernie is taller than Bill. Therefore, Slats cannot be 6'3".

- If Stretch is 6'6", Ernie could be 6'3" or 6', and Slats could be 6'1". However, this contradicts clue 2 which states that Ernie is shorter than Stretch. Therefore, Stretch cannot be 6'6".

- If Tiny is 6'6", we have no suitable option for Ernie or Stretch.
- If Tiny is 6'3", Ernie could be 6'1" or 6', and Stretch could be 6'. However, this contradicts clue 2 which states that Ernie is taller than Bill. Therefore, Tiny cannot be 6'3".

- If Tower is 6'6", we have no suitable option for Ernie or Stretch.
- If Tower is 6'3", Ernie could be 6'1" or 6', and Stretch could be 6'. However, this contradicts clue 2 which states that Ernie is taller than Bill. Therefore, Tower cannot be 6'3".

- If Tree is 6'6", we have no suitable option for Ernie, Oscar, or Stretch.
- If Tree is 6'3", Ernie could be 6'1" or 6'. However, this contradicts clue 2 which states that Ernie is taller than Bill. Therefore, Tree cannot be 6'3".

Therefore, the only option left is:

- If Bill is 6'6", Ernie must be 6'1" (taller than Bill but shorter than Stretch).
- If Ernie is 6'1", Bill must be 6'5" (taller than Ernie).
- Since Oscar is the tallest, he must be 6'6".
- Since Sammy is either 6'1" or known as Tower, and Ernie is already 6'1", Sammy must be known as Tower.
- This leaves Tony as Tree, and the only height left is 6'.

Based on these deductions, we can determine the nickname and the height of each player:

- Bill is known as Slats and is 6'5" tall.
- Ernie is known as Stretch and is 6'1" tall.
- Oscar is known as Tree and is 6'6" tall.
- Sammy is known as Tower and is 6'1" tall.
- Tony is not known as Tree and is 6' tall.
