April answers

Lots of winners in April Math Mania

There was an upsurge in entries in the April Math Mania and a lot of you got all the answers correct. Twenty-two to be exact.

After a couple months when holidays and spring break cut into your participation in Young Saint Louis.com's Math Mania, you got back into action in April.

The April Math Mania didn't prove to be too tough for a lot of you. It just took a lot of concentration to put the clues into the "Logic Grid" correctly.

Those who got all the answers to the April puzzle were:

Hadley Alter, Clayton; Peter Baugh, Clayton; Rachel Bluestone, Clayton, Bridget Boeger, Clayton, Jake Brown, St. Louis; Jacques Fehr, St. Louis; Malayka Ferhi, Richmond Heights;

Jeffrey Freidman, Clayton; Stephanie Getz, Clayton; John Havard, St. Louis; Dorga Kullakanda, Maryland Heights; Carly Osherow, St. Louis; Rachel Paul, Clayton; Bry Rechan, Clayton;

Katherine Ren, Clayton; Miranda Rubin, Clayton; Maria Ryan, Clayton; Adam Schultz, St. Louis; Leah Shatter, Clayton; Victoria Strimple, Clayton; Ryan Wahidi, Creve Coeur; and Arynne Zimmerman, Clayton.

In a random drawing from among the winners, YSL.com selected John Havard, Dorga Kullakanda, Carly Osherow and Bry Rechan for the $10 gift certificates from Borders. (When there are multiple winners, YSL.com selects up to four certificate winners.)

April Math Mania SOLUTIONS

Use 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

Last Names: Anderson, White, Miller, Green, and Smith
Dog Breeds: St. Bernard, Pug, Golden Retriever, Australian Shepherd, and Bulldog

  1. 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.

  2. Andrew's last name is Green, but it's not his favorite color, nor is it the color of his bowl.

  3. 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.

  4. Camile bought her dog before Ashley (who has a blue bowl) but after the person with the yellow bowl.

  5. Jenny and Camile both hate the color green and they spent all day at the park together on Wednesday.

  6. 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.

  7. Each of the guys bought one of the two small dogs.

  8. The girl whose last name is Miller bought her dog after the girl who bought the purple bowl.
