I work in quite an unusual office. Everybody who works here has a colour for their surname! It’s a bit like that old board game Cluedo, except nobody has been murdered. Still, there is a bit of a mystery to be solved around here. There’s been a lot of gossip around the water cooler about a “love triangle†in the office. Apparently one of my colleagues really likes somebody in the office, but sadly the object of their affections likes somebody else instead!
One of my workmates reckoned they figured it all out, yet wouldn’t tell me anything. But when I was at the office shredder last night I found what was left of their notes. It didn’t take me long to piece it back together.
Can you piece the shredded notes back together and figure out:
Who likes who?
Who am I?

I think the order is
1,8,5,7,4,2,3,6.
So,
Harry Green has blue eyes, likes green hair.
Olivia White likes Brown hair, has brown eyes.
George Brown has black hair, likes grey eyes.
Emily Black has green hair, likes black hair.
Jack Grey likes black coffee, has white hair.
So, the love triangle is
Harry likes Emily, who likes George.
You are probably
Jack Grey, who by liking black coffee on his desk stays out of the madness of intra-office romance.

You could also switch 3 and 8, the "triangle features" are the same. I wonder if that means something or if it's just coincidence.

Good point @Christoph though I have it this way because I feel that grey is an acceptable eye colour whereas white is not.

@Christoph There are two possible orders that give the same "right" answer. ROT13: (Gurer ner gjb "frgf" juvpu vapyhqr n ireo, n pbybhe, naq n abha. Fb ybat nf lbh trg rnpu frg evtug, vg qbrfa'g znggre juvpu jnl ebhaq gur frgf tb.)

Completely inspired by El-Guest's answer, but with a subtle (but I think correct) tweak
I actually think it is:
Harry Green likes blue eyes, has green hair.
Olivia White has brown hair, likes brown eyes.
George Brown likes black hair, has grey eyes.
Emily Black likes green hair, has black hair.
Jack Grey has black coffee, likes white hair.
Making the love triangle:
George likes Emily, Emily likes Harry
You are:
Jack because you HAVE black coffee in the picture (subtle difference from El-Guest's answer

Yup! The subtle difference is ROT13(yvxrf if. unf). I guess we'll find out the correct answer (either your answer or my answer inspired by you) :-)

Sep 13 at 16:27
Good luck to you! I think that we’re both referencing the fact that he has the object on the table though. That said, the actual non-pedantic difference in your solution (switching the order) does provide a second completely valid solution to the problem.

oh, i came up with slightly different solution than @El-Guest:
order:
1,8,2,7,4,5,3,6
so
Harry Green likes blue eyes, has green hair.
Olivia White has Brown hair, likes brown eyes.
George Brown likes black hair, has grey eyes.
Emily Black likes green hair, has black hair.
Jack Grey has black coffee, likes white hair.
So, the love triangle is
George likes Emily but Emily likes Harry
And
you are still Jack Grey

Another +1 for a great attempt, not quite the order intended. Jack might appreciate an older woman, but white hair??

Good luck to you! I think that we’re both referencing the fact that he has the object on the table though. That said, the actual non-pedantic difference in your solution (switching the order) does provide a second completely valid solution to the problem.

oh, i came up with slightly different solution than @El-Guest:
order:
1,8,2,7,4,5,3,6
so
Harry Green likes blue eyes, has green hair.
Olivia White has Brown hair, likes brown eyes.
George Brown likes black hair, has grey eyes.
Emily Black likes green hair, has black hair.
Jack Grey has black coffee, likes white hair.
So, the love triangle is
George likes Emily but Emily likes Harry
And
you are still Jack Grey

Another +1 for a great attempt, not quite the order intended. Jack might appreciate an older woman, but white hair??
