This is a fun puzzle! Here’s the solution:
- George W and Barack O share the first bunk bed, which is closest to the bathroom.
- The color of the pillows on the bottom bunks all begin with the letter “b”.
- Billy C’s pillow is green.
- George W’s pillow is red, which begins with the same letter as the party he represents (Republican).
- The order of the bunks from left to right is: George W and Barack O, Joe B and John M, Sarah P and Billy C.
- Joe B and John M share the middle bunk bed.
- Sarah P shares the last bunk bed with Billy C.
- John M’s pillow is black, and Joe B’s pillow is brown.
- The brown pillow is at the end of a row, which means it is Joe B’s pillow.
- The black pillow is below the yellow pillow, which means John M’s pillow is yellow.
