Returning Christmas Gifts
Last Saturday morning, Mrs. Shopper returned Christmas gifts.There was one
return for each of the five children, including Ben.Each gift was being
returned for a different reason to a different mall retailer, one to Eddie
Bauer.
Hints:1. Mrs. Shopper made these five returns (not necessarily in order):
Zach's gift, the jeans, the article bought at Banana Republic, the item of
apparel that the recipient didn't like, and the one to the 5th store in the
order.2. Erica's gift, which wasn't the one returned because it was too small,
wasn't the one purchased at American Eagle Outfitters.3. Immediately after
returning the hat to one mall store, Mrs. Shopper returned Mindy's gift to
another retailer.4. The item returned to Abercrombie and Fitch wasn't the one
that was too large.5. The article Mrs. Shopper took back to Banana Republic,
which wasn't Erica's, wasn't the one that was the wrong color.6. Immediately
after returning Tara's gift, Mrs. Shopper returned the item that was too small;
immediately after returning the too small article, Mrs. Shopper returned the
sweatshirt.7. The shorts weren't the too large item.8. Mindy's gift wasn't the
one returned because it was the wrong style.9.
The item of apparel returned to the Gap, which wasn't Mindy's, wasn't the
sweatshirt.10. Mrs. Shopper didn't return the jacket to American Eagle.11. The
jeans weren't Tara's.12. In consecutive order first-to-last, Mrs. Shopper made
these three returns: the one to the Gap, Erica's gift, and the article that was
the wrong color.
Question : Can you determine the order (1st to 5th) in which Mrs. Shopper made
the returns: the store visited, the child whose gift was returned, the item
returned, and the reason for the return?
