Use the clues to solve the puzzle and have fun at the animal party!
Let’s solve the “Animal Party Logic” puzzle step by step using the given clues:
Alex is dressed as a lion but did not bring the giraffe gift.
Ben brought a monkey gift but is not dressed as a zebra.
Chris is dressed as an elephant and did not bring the giraffe gift.
Dana is not dressed as a lion but brought the giraffe gift.
The person who is dressed as a zebra did not bring the elephant gift.
Emma is dressed as a giraffe but did not bring the lion gift.
Let’s analyze the clues:
From clue 1, we know Alex is dressed as a lion.
From clue 2, we know Ben brought a monkey gift but is not dressed as a zebra.
From clue 3, we know Chris is dressed as an elephant and did not bring the giraffe gift.
From clue 4, we know Dana is not dressed as a lion but brought the giraffe gift.
From clue 5, we know the person dressed as a zebra did not bring the elephant gift.
From clue 6, we know Emma is dressed as a giraffe.
Now, let’s summarize the information we have:
Alex is dressed as a lion.
Ben brought a monkey gift and is not dressed as a zebra.
Chris is dressed as an elephant.
Dana brought the giraffe gift.
Emma is dressed as a giraffe.
Now, we have to figure out who is dressed as a zebra and who brought the elephant gift. According to clue 5, the person dressed as a zebra did not bring the elephant gift. So, Ben must be dressed as a zebra. And since Chris is dressed as an elephant, that means Ben brought the elephant gift.
Final solutions:
Alex: Lion (gift unknown)
Ben: Zebra (gift: Elephant)
Chris: Elephant (gift unknown)
Dana: (gift: Giraffe)
Emma: Giraffe (gift unknown)
Since we have three animals and three gifts left, we can now match the remaining gifts to the respective animals:
Alex: Lion (gift: Monkey)
Chris: Elephant (gift: Giraffe)
Emma: Giraffe (gift: Monkey)
The final animal and gift combinations are:
Alex: Lion (gift: Monkey)
Ben: Zebra (gift: Elephant)
Chris: Elephant (gift: Giraffe)
Dana: (gift: Giraffe)
Emma: Giraffe (gift: Monkey)
Everyone is now ready to enjoy the animal-themed party with their unique costumes and gifts!
