Jill and 4 of her female friends each scheduled a date with a different man. Each date (no two of which are scheduled the same night) will consist of dinner at a different restaurant, followed by dancing at one of two nightclubs. Three couples will go to Bopper's Nightclub and two couples will go to Polly Esther's Dance Club. From the info provided, determine the date (3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, or 31st) on which each man and woman have scheduled a date for, as well as the restaurant and nightclub to which they will go.
1. The three women going to Bopper's are Beth, Martha, and Robin. The two men going to Polly Esther's are Joe and Sandeep.
2. Beth (whose date is set for the 24th) isn't the one who'll be dining at Chez Pierre with Jeff.
3. Robin will be going out exactly two weeks before Sandeep, who isn't the man who'll be dining at Pierpont.
4. Joe will be going out exactly two weeks before the couple who will be dining at Giovanni's and dancing at Bopper's.
5. George's date is set for the 17th. Martha will be going out exactly one week after the couple who will be dining at Margarita's and dancing at Polly Esther's. Nan isn't the woman who will be dining at Margaritas.

Answer
3rd - Joe, Jill, Margaritas, Polly Esther's10th - Jeff, Martha, Chez Pierre, Bopper's
17th - George, Robin, Giovanni's, Bopper's
24th - Sergio, Beth, Pierpont, Bopper's
31st - Sandeep, Nan, Mario's, Polly Esther's
The 3 women going to Bopper's are Beth, Martha, and Robin - clue 1. Thus 2 women going to Polly Esther's are Jill and Nan. Two men going to Polly Esther's are Joe and Sandeep - clue 1. Thus the 3 men going to Bopper's are George, Jeff and Sergio. Sandeep, who is going to Polly Esther's, isn't the 24th because Beth is the 24th - clue 2 and Beth is going to Bopper's - clue 1. Sandeep isn't the 17th - clue 5, he isn't the 3rd or 10th - clue 3, Robin is 2 weeks before Sandeep. Thus Sandeep's date is the 31st. Robin's date is the 17th - clue 3. Martha, who is going to Bopper's - clue 1, isn't the 31st because Sandeep is the 31st and is going to Polly Esther's. Martha isn't the 3rd - clue 5 says she is one week later than another couple. She is the 10th. Margarita's is the 3rd - clue 5. Joe has to be the 3rd because Margaritas is Polly Esther's and Joe is Polly Esther's. Sandeep is already placed, therefore the only other guy going to Polly Esther's is on the 3rd, which is Joe. Giovanni's is the 17th - clue 4. Nan isn't the 3rd - clue 5 says Nan isn't going to Margaritas which is the 3rd. Therefore, Nan is the 31st since the 31st is the only other date going to Polly Esther's. This leaves Jill on the 3rd, since she is the other woman going to Polly Esther's. Jeff is Chez Pierre - clue 2. Jeff isn't the 24th because Beth is the 24th and they aren't dining together - clue 2. Thus Jeff, who is dining at Chez Pierre - clue 2, is the 10th, because Giovanni's is the 17th. Sergio has to be the 24th, only date left (George is the 17th - clue 5). Sandeep isn't Pierpont - clue 3, thus he is Mario's. Pierpont is the 24th, only date left with no restaurant.

Excellent Teaser! Tough, but workable!
HARD
Fun, but not too difficult. I had the feeling some of the clues were unnecessary, but I'm not sure. Keep 'em coming.

This was a brilliant teaser becuase I actually got it after a bit of determination, the only thing is I think some clues were unessacary. sorry
Great Teaser!
Polly Esther's!
Polly Esther's!
Ok that was the easiest one of yours so far. I thought the shared dance halls was a lot of fun.. made it fun to figure out the date teams
I don't see how any of the clues could be unnecesary when there are so few of them and even the ones who say that they are unnecessary can't tell which ones are unnecessary ?!"!?!?!?!? Good Job Cinnamon!!!!!!!
Great Job Cinnamon!!
I loved the 3 boppers and 2 polly esthers. It was a great idea, although i do agree, this is easier than some of your others. Great teaser!!

I really loved this one! Tough but fun!! Loved the name "Polly Esther"
I really thought this would be more difficult when I saw the shared Dance clubs, but I got it first try. Good job! Took alot of thinking and matching and going throught the grid and clues a few times. Very fun!
EX-CELL-ENT!!!
OMG! Great teaser, it took a few tries but I finally figured it out.
