April puzzles
Lots of partial answers in Logic Grid
 The
Math Mania questions for April involve a lot
of partial answers. In fact, the best way to figure the right
answers is to use a "scorecard,"
Ms. Math Mania is Amy Ruzicka, a math teacher
in South St. Louis. She's supplied a grid to make it a little
easier to figure out the answers to the April puzzler.

Grid Logic Puzzle
PUse the provided clues and your own reasoning
skills to find out who bought which breed of dog, which color
bowl, and on what day. You may find it helpful to use the provided
grid.
PUZZLING PET SHOP
Five People went to the pet shop on different
days of the week. They each bought a different breed of dog
and a different color dog bowl for them. There are three girls
and two guys.
-
Girl's Names: Ashley,
Camile, and Jenny
-
Guy's Names: Andrew
and Brandon
-
Last Names: Anderson,
White, Miller, Green, and Smith
-
Dog Breeds: St. Bernard,
Pug, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, and Bulldog
-
Bowl Colors: Pink,
Purple, Green, Blue, and Yellow
-
Days: Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday
-
No one's first name starts
with the same letter as their last name or the first letter
of the breed of dog they bought.
-
Andrew's last name is Green,
but it's not his favorite color, nor is it the color of his
bowl.
-
The order in which they bought
their dogs are as follows: The guy whose bowl is yellow, the
one who bought the St. Bernard, the girl whose last name is
White, the person with the pink bowl, and Brandon.
-
Camile bought her dog before
Ashley (who has a blue bowl) but after the person with the
yellow bowl.
-
Jenny and Camile both hate
the color green and they spent all day at the park together
on Wednesday.
-
The girl whose last name is
Miller and the girl whose last name is Smith are, in some
order, the one who bought the Australian Shepherd, and the
one who bought their dog on Tuesday.
-
Each of the guys bought one
of the two small dogs.
-
The girl whose last name is
Miller bought her dog after the girl who bought the purple
bowl.
