Every year at Thanksgiving, the employees at Dunder-Mifflin hold a potluck. This year, the ladies of the office (including Meredith) brought in their favorite holiday foods, although some of their choices were not quite traditional. Can you determine from the clues below the food each employee brought, what color plate the food was served on, and how much of the food was left when the potluck was over?
1. Two of the ladies brought home empty plates, but Angela and the person who brought green beans weren't as lucky.
2. The person who brought the Taquitos used a paper plate.
3. The four employees are Kelly, the lady who brought the red plate, the lady who brought the Marshmallow Yams, and the person whose plate was 1/2 full after the party.
4. After the potluck, the brown plate had food left on it, but it wasn't pizza rolls.
5. Angela's plate was green. Phyllis's plate was not brown but was empty after the party.
6. The Marshmallow Yams were the least popular item of the potluck and had the most food remaining afterwards.
