| From the introduction, the five seasonal employees include 3 girls (Heather,
Julie, and Tara) and 2 boys (Greg, Stephen). By clue 3, Tara works one floor
above Mr. Kenner, who works one floor above the employee in the Barbie
Dolls dept.; while by clue 6, the one who sells Legos is one floor above
Heather, who is one floor above Tonka. The two clues can be combined in two
ways: Mr. Kenner sells Legos, or Tara is Tonka and works on the 3rd floor.
Trying the latter, then, in clue 1 where all five are named, Tara Tonka would
sell games--a conflict with clue 4. So, combining clues 3 and 6, Tara works
one floor above Legos seller Mr. Kenner, who works one floor above Heather in
Barbie dolls, who is one floor above employee Tonka. If Tara worked on the
4th floor, then Heather would work on the 2nd. In clue 1, then, Tara would
have to be Ms. Hasbro. Since Mr. Kenner sells Legos, in clue 1, he would be
Stephen; and Greg would sell games. Greg would sell games on the 1st floor
(2) and be Tonka--a conflict with clue 4. Therefore, Tara is on the 5th floor,
with Mr. Kenner on the 4th, Heather on the 3rd, and Tonka on the 2nd. Since
Mr. Kenner sells Legos, he must be Stephen in clue 1. Since Heather sells
Barbie dolls, in clue 1, she must be Ms. Hasbro. Tara works in the games dept.
(1). By clue 1, Julie doesn't work on the 2nd floor and thus is on the 1st.
Tonka is Greg and therefore sells Lionel trains (2). Bookseller Julie is
Bradley (5), and Tara is Mattel. In sum, the five seasonal employees work at
OAF Shreck as follows:
- 1st - Julie Bradley, books
- 2nd - Greg Tonka, Lionel trains
- 3rd - Heather Hasbro, Barbie dolls
- 4th - Stephen Kenner, Legos
- 5th - Tara Mattel, games
