MATHS PUZZLE # 8 FIRST LEG (Second Year)

 (from the 22nd to the 29th of November 2010)

 

A SHOE-IN

Four young girls, (Aurora, Benita, Clara and Daniela) are talking.

One of them is wearing moccasins; another is wearing ballet shoes; another sandals and the fourth one is wearing tennis shoes.

The one in the ballet shoes says: ‘I like Aurora a lot but I don’t like Daniela at all’.

The one in the sandals says: ‘I dislike Aurora but Clara is a god friend of mine’.

Finally  Daniela says: ‘I am fond of Aurora and I never wear moccasins’.

WHAT KIND OF SHOES IS EACH GIRL WEARING?

You can send the solution to iescampanar11@gmail.com    or to www.Fernando.Escuin@iescampanar.com

SOLUTION:

Discarding all the impossible squares on a double entrance chart, we see that Benita is necessarily the one wearing the sandals whereas Daniela is wearing the tennis shoes.

It is clear then that Aurora in the one in the moccasins and thus Clara the girl in the ballet shoes.
