Mr. Armandy works for the government, and while we don’t know exactly what his job is, it does involve traveling all over the world. Therefore, when he and his wife became proud parents over the years to five lovely young lassies, each was born in a different European country. Thus, each little lady - Brandy, Candy, Mandy, Sandy, and Tandy - had duel citizenship - being an American and also a citizen of the country in which she was born. Mr. and Mrs. Armandy has given each of their girls a different nickname (one of which is Gabby). From the clues, determine the country in which each girl was born and her nickname.
1. The daughter born in England and who is nicknamed Pumpkin is neither Mandy nor Tandy.
2. Candy, whose nickname isn’t Giggles, was born in Spain.
3. Mandy isn’t the daughter who was born in Germany and whose nickname is Boo-Boo, as she loves to hide behind things and jump out and say “boo” when someone goes by.
4. Sandy was born in Italy.
5. The daughter born in Finland is nicknamed Monkey because she loves to climb trees.

Five individuals were standing in line to catch the bus from the small suburb of Lakeview into the city of Athena. Each had a different profession, but it was a Saturday and each was going into the city for a different reason - one planned to spend the day at the zoo. It was a rainy morning so each had an umbrella, each of a different color - black, blue, gray, red, or white. From the clues, determine the order in line in which each person stood (left to right with the left most person being the first to board the bus in position #1 and the last person in position #5), his or her profession, the reason for his or her trip into the city, and the color of each person’s umbrella.
1. The veterinarian, who was going into the city to do some shopping for his wife, isn’t the one with the gray umbrella.
2. The woman who was a lawyer wasn’t the second person in line.
3. The person who was going to the city to visit the museum for the day stood somewhere in front of the woman who was a dentist.
4. The man at the head of the line (who wasn’t the person going shopping) had a red umbrella.
5. The person who was going to the city to spend the day at the library stood immediately between the man who was an architect and the person with the gray umbrella.
6. The man who was a bank teller (who isn’t the person who planned to visit a relative in the hospital) was the last person in line.
7. The person with the blue umbrella stood immediately in front of the person with the white umbrella.

Recently, five nine-year olds got together for a slumber party at Fiona’s house. Each of Fiona’s five friends brought a nightie with a different design motif - checks, flowers, paisley, polk-a-dots, or stripes. In addition, each brought along her favorite stuffed animal - cat, dog, elephant, teddy bear, or tiger. From the clues, determine each of the five girls names, the design on each girl’s nightie, and her favorite stuffed animal.
1. The five friends of Fiona’s are Brenda, the girl with the nightie with the paisley design, the one with the nightie with polk-a-dots, the one whose favorite stuffed animal is a dog and the one whose favorite stuffed animal is a tiger.
2. Darla didn’t wear the nightie with the paisley design.
3. The girl whose favorite stuffed animal is a tiger is either Ashley or the girl whose nightie has the stripes - pink and orange of all colors!
4. Cassie’s nightie has a beautiful blue and silver checked design, which all the girls oh’d and ah’d over.
