Three Friends
Three
friends have a different favorite color and a different pet.
Name
the preferred color and pet for each person.
Clues:
Ellie
has a turtle.
Paul
likes the color orange.
Nadine
is not the friend who has a dog.
The
person who owns the cat is not the person who prefers yellow.
One
of the friends likes green best.
Answer:
From these clues:
- Paul likes orange, so he does not like yellow or green.
- Since Ellie has a turtle, Nadine must have either a dog or a cat.
- Nadine does not have a dog, so she must have a cat.
- The person with the cat does not prefer yellow, so Nadine does not
like yellow.
- Since Nadine has a cat, Ellie must have a dog.
- One friend likes green. Nadine does not like yellow, and she has a
cat, so she must like green.
So, we have:
- Ellie: Likes yellow, has a turtle.
- Paul: Likes orange, has a dog.
- Nadine: Likes green, has a cat.:
