Bunk Beds
Six girls, Beth, Haley, Kayla, Liza, Reeva, and Zoe, are in the junior cabin at camp. They sleep in bunk beds. Each girl has a different color blanket on her bed. The beds are lined up in a row with red, black, yellow, brown, blue, and green blankets.
Clues:
1. Reeva and Haley's bed is closest to the door.
2. The color of the blankets on the bottom bunks all begin with the same letter.
3. The color of Beth's blanket does not begin with the same letter as the beginning of her name.
4. Reeva's blanket color does begin with the same letter as her name.
5. The blue blanket is under the red blanket.
6. Liza and Kayla like their lower bunks.
7. Kayla is in the middle bed.
8. Zoe does not share a bunk with Kayla.
9. The brown blanket is at the end of a row.
10. The yellow blanket is above the black blanket.
Can you determine the color of each girl's blanket, the order of their beds, and who their bunkmate is?

That was fun!
I misread clue number 4 at first and couldn't get it until I reread it. That was a fun teaser.
fun, but should be in logic grid
good one i actually got it right
loved it! thanks
clue number four... yeah... i would say that the wording is a problem. it is perceived as does not, rather than does. good otherwise
I agree, clue #4 threw me off, lol, but that was good, thanks.
Very easy, and although it should be in logic grid, it can't because with the logic grid solver, you can't figure out in which order things are.
Great teaser!
Clue number 3 could have been eliminated.
I had a bit of a problem with placement of the beds: if a bed is at the end of a row does that mean it is not near the door?
Hmmmm...

Based on clues 1,4,5 - Reeva-red-top and Haley-blue-bottom are near the door.
Therefore, the brown blanket (clue 9) must be at the end of a row far from the door.

scallion said it, clue nr. 3 is not necessary
