Five neighborhood children went trick or treating together. Each wore different costumes, carried a different bag for candy and had a different favorite candy. From the clues can you figure out who wore which costume, the type of bag he/she carried and his/her favorite candy?
The Children:
Three girls: Abby, Leah & Xarina
Two boys: Logan & Tyler
Costumes:
Hobo
Kitten
Pirate
Princess
Punk Rocker
Candy Bags:
Black Plastic Trash Bag (Black)
Blue Pillowcase (Blue)
Decorated Grocery Sack (Grocery)
Plastic Pumpkin (Pumpkin)
Yellow Pillowcase (Yellow)
Favorite Candy:
Bubblegum (Bubble)
Chocolate (Choc)
Lemon-drops (Lemon)
Peanut Butter Pieces (PB)
Taffy
1. Of the punk rocker & the hobo: One of the girls had decorated a grocery sack and the other absolutely loves chocolate.
2. Neither of the boys carried the plastic pumpkin or the blue pillowcase.
3. The five children were: the boy with the black plastic bag, the one who loves lemondrops, Xarina, the chocolate lover, and the girl dressed as a kitten (who loves peanut butter).
4. The pirate (whose favorite candy is not bubblegum or taffy) carried the yellow pillowcase.
5. The pirate's sister, Abby, was going to carry a blue one, but changed her mind at the last minute.
6. Tyler doesn't chew bubblegum so he gave his to the girl with the grocery bag (it's her favorite).
7. Again (not necessarily in the same order), the children are: the girl with the plastic pumpkin, the Hobo, the princess, Logan and the one who loves bubblegum.

This took me most of the morning and I enjoyed it very much!
easy but very, very fun!
man, I don't want to waste that much time. Way too long...
And what's with the boy being a princess??????omg
And what's with the boy being a princess??????omg
I figured out that the boy must be the princess and thought I must have been doing it wrong until I read the hint. Great teaser, though, lots of fun!
Yikes, got Leah and tyler mixed up, Great job Keep those coming
FUN!!! but the boy dressed as a princess also threw me. But after I read the comments, I got it right . Keep 'em coming
This one was good! A little hard but really gets the mind working. I like that!! I was determined to solve it (and got it right!!) because I could tell from the beginning that the provided clues were completely adequate. Really good job!!
I was going to correct your first clue when I immediately saw that the boy had to be a princess. However, I checked my answers and found it to be correct! So, I guess it didn't need correcting. And I never read the hints.
This was my first attempt...thanks to all for your kind comments.
That was a great one! I loved the boy being the princess. That part puzzled me a bit, but following only the clues and logic, it all worked out. Overall, it was pretty easy, but lots of fun. Great job!
Guess I'm just devious, but when I saw the "obvious" gender specific costume, I assumed there was a good chance it would go to a boy. I love these when they're about this complex -- not too difficult, but certainly not too easy. Takes a lot of concentration -- otherwise, I lose track of my logical progression.
I said that the boy must have been a princess for that to be possible. But I was determined he wasn't until I looked at the hints. I was shocked.
I liked the clues, they were fun to read and there were lots of tidbits hidden throughout. It wasn't all that hard, but I enjoyed it alot. Kudos
A very yummy teaser.
There went that diet! A tasty teaser!
