This year, during the last weekend of October, five ClueJo characters - Dr. Gray, Lady Melon, Miss Lavender, Mrs. Bluebell, and Sir Sable, were in the United States visiting friends - each of whom is one of the Clue suspects - Col. Mustard, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. Peacock, Mr. Green, or Prof. Plum. On Halloween night, each ClueJo character enjoyed helping his or her host or hostess hand out Halloween treats to the Trick-or-Treaters.
At each home, from one to five different types of treats were available - apples, bubble gum, candy bars, cookies, and/or popcorn. No two households gave out the same number of types of treats, although each treat was given out by exactly three different households. From the clues, determine the name of each host or hostess, the name of his or her guest, and the treat or treats each gave out to Trick-or-Treaters on Halloween night.
1. Prof. Plum and his guest and Mrs. Bluebell and her host or hostess did not give out any of the same types of treats to their little costumed visitors.
2. Miss Scarlet and her guest handed out one type of treat that was also handed out to treaters at the homes where both Lady Melon and Miss Lavender where guests.
3. At Mrs. Peacock’s home, trick-or-treaters either got both apples and cookies, or they got neither.
4. Lady Melon was the guest of the person who gave out at least two different types of treats, neither of which was bubble gum or apples.
5. Col. Mustard and his guest did not hand out all five types of treats, although he and his guest, along with Prof. Plum and his guest, did hand out popcorn balls. No popcorn balls were given out at Mr. Green’s home.
6. Between the home where Dr. Gray was a guest and Mrs. Peacock’s home, all five types of treats were given out, although neither household gave out the same type of treats.
7. At the homes of Col. Mustard and the home of Mr. Green (whose guest was not Miss Lavender), either both gave out apples or both gave out cookies, and exactly one of these two men gave out both apples and cookies.

Last weekend the Kasers went sky diving. Everett, along with wife Sharon, son Shane, and daughter Megan, were accompanied by Everett’s sister Donna and her husband, Jerry. The group picked out their parachutes from a colorful selection at the sky diving terminal - blue, green, orange, purple, red, or yellow, with each family member selecting a different color. It was a beautiful day, and all went quite well. . . er, until they landed on earth, that is. Each person landed in a completely different location from where he or she had intended to land - one individual landed in a pig’s sty!
From the clues, determine the order in which each person left the plane (the jumpers alternated by gender), the location of each person’s landing, and the color of each person’s parachute.
1. Sharon jumped immediately after the person who landed in a fish pond and immediately before the person with the green parachute.
2. The three men were Jerry, the person who wore the red parachute, and the person who jumped immediately after the individual who landed in a hay stack.
3. It was not the person who had the blue parachute who was the last of the jumpers.
4. Donna jumped sometime after the person with the orange parachute who landed in a strawberry patch.
5. It was not the person who had the green parachute who landed in a cow pasture and narrowly escaped the bull it contained!
6. The family member who had the unfortunate luck to get tangled in a large oak tree in a farmer’s front yard had a somewhat uncomfortable wait until someone arrived to could get her down.
7. Three jumpers in consecutive order, from first to last, were the person with the purple parachute, one of the Kaser’s siblings, and Everett.
