Today's puzzle
There was an auction with six bidders sitting in the front row. They were sitting next to each other on numbered seats, from left to right (1 to 6). All of them held a table with a number on it in their hands and bought one item only (all items had a serial number).
Based on the statements below, can you find out the bidders’ sitting order (the number of their seats), the items they bought and the numbers on their plates?
- The person sitting on the second chair bought an item with an odd serial number.
- The person with the plate having 114 on it was sitting on the 3rd chair.
- Item number 6 was taken by the person on the 4th chair. There wasn’t 161 on the plate of this person.
- A person held up the plate with 128, right after having a successful bid for item number 60. This person is not Carl, who was sitting on seat number 5.
- The person with the plate with 193 bought an item with a higher serial number than the person sitting on the first chair (but not the item having the next highest number).
- The number on Tom’s plate is smaller than the number on the plate of the person buying item number 53. (Actually this is right before that number if we order them in ascending order).
- Item 17 was bought by Philip who had an even number on his plate.
- Andrew sat two seats to the right from the person having 149 on his plate. This is not Alan, who is not sitting on the first chair.
- Mark bidded for the next item after the client with 130 on his plate, who was sitting somewhere on his left.

Hint:
It is easier to solve such puzzles if you use a grid. Something like this probably helps:

Send your answer to me either as a private message on Discord (@ksolymosi#5065) or in an e-mail message ([email protected]). If you use Discord, please make sure that your Discord name is the same as your Steemit name, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to find you...
Comment on the post containing the puzzle mentioning where I should look for your answer (for example „Answer sent via Discord").
Important
Don't post your solution under the post containing the puzzle because then you ruin the game of others!
The answer should contain the identification number of the puzzle, too (for example DBG 11).
Answers should arrive until I post the results of the actual game (usually between 12.00 am and 8.00 pm UTC+1, but exceptions might occur...). This leaves approximately a 12-24 hour time window to send me your answers. (Answers arriving later will not be considered.)
It is possible to correct your answer by sending another solution, but only the last message will be considered for the reward. (So if you send the good answer first and then send another message with a wrong one, then, unfortunately, the wrong one will „participate" in the game.)
Please do not ask clarifying questions. I do my best to phrase instructions as clearly as possible. So everyone should work from the amount of information given in the post.
Detailed rules and information on the scoring and rewards can be found here and here.
