The correct order and names are 1. Natalia Coaster, 2. Patrick Adams, 3. Analee Baker, 4. Connor Davis.

How to find the correct order?

The best strategy is to read one by one the clues and determine possible order and names.

  • 1. Statements 1 and 3 show Baker and Coaster are girls; therefore, Adams and Davis are boys.

  • 2. Statement 2 shows the order is: Natalie - Patrick - Davis
  • Since Davis is a boy we can conclude he is Connor Davis and Patrick's last name is Adams.

  • 3. Statements 4 and 5 show Analee was the third one because otherwise Connor would be the third one and this is not true. The order is:
  • Natalie - Patrick - Analee - Davis

  • 4. Natalie's last name is Coaster because Coaster was the girl who ate a lot of pie, while Analee did not. This means the answer is:
  1. Natalia Coaster.
  2. Patrick Adams.
  3. Analee Baker.
  4. Connor Davis.
