Step-by-step solution for: Summer Logic Puzzles for Upper Elementary - Early Finisher ...
Explanation:
We need to figure out for each of the five friends (Katie, Josh, Olivia, Kevin, Mya):
- Which water park attraction they are at (Water Slide, Lazy River, Diving Board, Wave Pool, Fountains)
- What color swimsuit they are wearing (Red, Blue, Black, Purple, Orange)
Let’s list the clues again clearly:
1. Olivia, who isn’t wearing purple, doesn’t like the water slide or wave pool.
→ So Olivia ≠ Purple, ≠ Water Slide, ≠ Wave Pool.
2. Kevin is either on the diving board or by the fountains.
→ Kevin = Diving Board or Fountains.
3. Mya, who’s wearing red, isn’t on the lazy river.
→ Mya = Red, ≠ Lazy River.
4. The person wearing blue is on the diving board.
→ Blue → Diving Board.
5. Olivia is wearing orange, but is not by the fountains.
→ Olivia = Orange, ≠ Fountains.
(Combined with clue 1: Olivia ≠ Purple, ≠ Water Slide, ≠ Wave Pool, ≠ Fountains → only possible attraction left is Lazy River.)
So from clues 1 & 5:
Olivia = Orange, Lazy River ✔
6. One of the boys is in the wave pool and the other boy is wearing blue.
→ There are two boys: Josh and Kevin (Katie, Olivia, Mya are girls).
So:
- One boy = Wave Pool
- Other boy = Blue
Also from clue 4: Blue → Diving Board, so the boy wearing blue must be on the Diving Board.
So:
- One boy = Wave Pool
- Other boy = Blue + Diving Board
From clue 2: Kevin = Diving Board or Fountains
But if Kevin = Diving Board, then he could be the one wearing blue (since blue → Diving Board). That fits.
Then Josh would be the one in the Wave Pool.
Let’s test that:
Assume Kevin = Diving Board → then from clue 4, Kevin = Blue
Then Josh = Wave Pool (from clue 6)
That satisfies clue 6 (one boy in wave pool, other boy wearing blue), and clue 2 (Kevin is on diving board), and clue 4.
Now check clue 7: Katie is not on the lazy river.
Olivia is already on Lazy River, so that’s fine — Katie ≠ Lazy River.
Clue 8: The person in black is on the water slide.
→ Black → Water Slide
So far we have:
- Olivia: Orange, Lazy River
- Kevin: Blue, Diving Board
- Josh: ?, Wave Pool
Remaining people: Katie, Mya
Remaining attractions: Water Slide, Fountains
(Used: Lazy River, Diving Board, Wave Pool)
Remaining colors: Red, Black, Purple
(Used: Orange, Blue)
From clue 3: Mya = Red, ≠ Lazy River → OK, Lazy River is taken by Olivia. So Mya = Red, and must be at either Water Slide or Fountains.
From clue 8: Black → Water Slide
So whoever is at Water Slide = Black.
So if Mya = Red, she cannot be at Water Slide (that’s Black), so Mya ≠ Water Slide → Mya = Fountains
Then Katie = Water Slide (only attraction left), and from clue 8, Katie = Black.
Now remaining color: Purple
People assigned so far:
- Olivia: Orange
- Kevin: Blue
- Josh: ?
- Mya: Red
- Katie: Black
So Josh must be Purple.
Check all clues:
1. Olivia ≠ Purple (she’s Orange) ✔
Olivia ≠ Water Slide (she’s Lazy River) ✔
Olivia ≠ Wave Pool (she’s Lazy River) ✔
2. Kevin = Diving Board ✔
3. Mya = Red, ≠ Lazy River (she’s Fountains) ✔
4. Blue → Diving Board: Kevin is Blue and on Diving Board ✔
5. Olivia = Orange, ≠ Fountains (she’s Lazy River) ✔
6. Boys: Kevin (Blue, Diving Board), Josh (Purple, Wave Pool) → one boy in wave pool, other wearing blue ✔
7. Katie ≠ Lazy River (she’s Water Slide) ✔
8. Black → Water Slide: Katie is Black and on Water Slide ✔
All satisfied.
Final assignments:
- Katie: Water Slide, Black
- Josh: Wave Pool, Purple
- Olivia: Lazy River, Orange
- Kevin: Diving Board, Blue
- Mya: Fountains, Red
Let’s double-check no duplicates:
Attractions: Water Slide, Wave Pool, Lazy River, Diving Board, Fountains — all used once ✔
Colors: Black, Purple, Orange, Blue, Red — all used once ✔
Perfect.
Final Answer:
Katie: Water Slide, Black
Josh: Wave Pool, Purple
Olivia: Lazy River, Orange
Kevin: Diving Board, Blue
Mya: Fountains, Red
