Five recipes were printed in last year's January/February issue of "Ingestion Weekly" magazine. Each recipe was submitted by a different person, invented by a different female relative of that person, and each person has a different occupation. The five people are two women named Audrey and Brenda and three men named Carl, Dan, and Edgar. Here are some facts:
1. Edgar is the police officer. Brenda isn't the firefighter.
2. Dan (whose recipe was invented by his cousin) is neither the electrician nor the surgeon (who submitted the recipe for pancakes).
3. Carl isn't the man whose recipe was invented by his sister. The sister isn't the one who invented the turkey scallopine recipe.
4. Audrey, who isn't the one whose recipe was invented by his or her grandmother, submitted the sausage casserole recipe.
5. The one who submitted his or her mother's quiche recipe, who isn't Carl, isn't the electrician.
The question is:
Who submitted the calzones recipe, whose recipe was invented by his or her aunt, and who is the plumber?
