Solution for October

Washing the Washingtons' Socks

The children in the Washington family—Allison, Beth, Carl, and Danny — do their own laundry every week. They found that sorting the socks always took too much time, because it was hard to tell which socks belonged to which child. They decided that, to save laundry-sorting time, each one of them would always wear the same colour socks — green, blue, red, or yellow.

Use the clues to find out which child got which colour socks.

1. Allison refused to wear yellow or green socks.

2. Beth refused to wear green or blue socks.

3. Carl chose blue.

4.Danny picked the colour that both Beth and Allison refused to wear.
