A couple weeks ago McMillian’s Department Store had a sell on towels and five women purchased a set of guest towels for a different relative in her family. Each woman, including Helen, picked out a towel set in a different color to go with the decor of the particular recipient (one woman bought a peach colored towel set). From the clues, determine each woman’s first name, the color of guest towels each purchased, and the person for which each towel set was a gift (one woman purchased a gift for her cousin while another got a gift for her mother).
1. The three women purchased guest towel sets for another woman are Erin, the woman who purchased the hunter green towel set (which wasn’t for her sister), and the woman who purchased a towel set for her aunt who just celebrated her 75th birthday.
2. The two women who purchased guest towel sets for men are Dawn and the woman who purchased the lavender towel set.
3. Gracie purchased a cream-colored guest towel set.
4. The hunter green towel set and the light blue towel set were purchased as gifts for individuals of different genders.
5. The lavender towel set was not a gift from Treva nor was it the gift intended for one of the women’s cousin.

It was closing time at Sam’s Supermarket and customers remained to be checked out. At that time there was only one lane open, but luckily each customer only had three items each. Each customer had one dairy product item (butter, cheese, eggs, and milk), one produce item (broccoli, carrots, onions, and potatoes), and one meat item (chicken, ham, pork chops, and pot roast). From the clues, determine the three items purchased by each customer, identified by their place in line (1st through 4th).
1. The customer who purchased eggs was in line immediately ahead of the customer who purchased cheese (who didn’t also purchase a pot roast).
2. The customer who purchased butter isn’t the one who purchased either carrots or potatoes.
3. One customer purchased carrots, but isn’t the customer who also purchased a pot roast.
4. The customer who purchased the milk was in line somewhere ahead of the customer who purchased onions.
5. One customer purchased both broccoli and ham.
6. The last of the four customers was neither the one who purchased butter nor the one who purchased chicken.
7. The customer who purchased the milk isn’t the one who also bought pork chops (who was in line somewhere ahead of the customer who purchased a pot roast).
