Mrs. Landau runs a boarding house and has four women living in her large manor-like home. Each woman, including Miranda, is in a different profession (one is a registered nurse) and have boarded with Mrs. Landau since graduating from college. Last year, Mrs. Landau decided to redecorate and she let each woman chose her own decor for her rooms (Mrs. Landau has a very large home and lots of money, so each set of rooms includes a small sitting room complete with fireplace, large bedroom, and its own bathroom!). One young woman chose to have her rooms decorated in contemporary style. From the clues, determine each boarder’s first name and last name (one is Harper), her profession, and the style in which each chose to have her rooms decorated.
1. Three of the four women are Olivia, the geneticist, and the woman who chose to have her rooms in the style of decorative art called art deco.
2. Neither Olivia nor Susan chose the Victorian decor for their rooms.
3. Neither Ms. Rosenhill, who is the attorney, nor the woman who chose the country style decor is Olivia.
4. Ms. Wong is not the geneticist.
5. Susan (who is not Ms. Stewart) isn’t the airline pilot.
6. Pauline (whose surname is neither Rosenhill nor Stewart) is neither the attorney nor the woman who chose to have her rooms decorated in art deco style.

After attending a family reunion this past April, Deanna decided it was time to expand her horizons, so to speak. During the reunion, she discovered that several members of her family was either proficient in some craft or could play a musical instrument, or both. Deanna realized that she could take classes in several different craft classes from May through September, as well as take some musical instrument lessons. So each month, she signed up to take one craft class three afternoons a week - beginner’s quilting, candle making, stained glass, tole painting, and wheat weaving, and one musical instrument class three evenings a week - accordion, flute, guitar, piano, and trumpet. From the clues, determine in which month Deanna took each craft class and each musical instrument class.
1. Deanna took piano lessons exactly three months before the month in which she signed up for beginner’s quilting classes.
2. The stained glass classes Deanna attended were not during either the month she took guitar lessons or trumpet lessons.
3. It wasn’t in September that Deanna enjoyed the art of wheat weaving or learned to do tole painting.
4. In June Deanna learned to play the flute, which was not the same month she took either the stained glass classes or the wheat weaving classes.
5. Deanna’s candle making classes were not in the same month that she learned to play the trumpet (which wasn’t in July).
6. The last musical instrument lesson Deanna took wasn’t learning how to play the accordion.
7. Deanna didn’t take wheat weaving classes and piano lessons during the same month.

Each year for the past several years, area schools in Riverton County hold a Cheerleader of the Year contest. Last year, Thomas and four other entrants traveled from their homes around the county to the county seat, Riverton City, where the contest is held. Each entrant lives in a different small town (one lives in Inman) and traveled a different number of miles (12, 18, 24, 30, or 36) to Riverton City for the initial tryouts. Each cheerleader wore the colors of his or her school - blue-gold, blue-white/, white- gold, white-red, or red-black. From the clues, determine each cheerleader’s first name, the town where each attends school, his or her school colors, and the number of miles that each had to travel to Riverton City.
1. The number of miles that the cheerleader from Haven traveled (whose school colors are blue and gold) was less than 30 miles.
2. Kyle attends school in Iola.
3. The number of miles that Clarissa had to travel was exactly halfway between that of the cheerleader from Cottonwood Falls and the cheerleader whose school colors are red and black.
4. Erin’s school colors include the color white, while the school colors of the cheerleader who traveled 30 miles does not.
5. One cheerleader traveled a total of 36 miles from her home in Medora, whose school colors do not include blue.
6. The number of miles that the cheerleader whose school colors are red and white traveled are exactly halfway between the number of miles Rexana traveled and the number of miles the cheerleader from Haven traveled.
