| From the introduction, the Summerset Apartments have two apartments on
each of the three floors, with those on the east side of the building
numbered 1E, 2E, and 3E from bottom-to-top and the apartments on the
west side of the building numbered 1W, 2W, and 3W from bottom-to-top.
By clue 10, Kate and the tenant who got a new stove share one floor of the
building, while by clue 4, Lisa and Mr. Price share a floor. These must
be two different floors of the building. By clue 7, Jeff and the person
who had the dryer replaced share a floor. Since Jeff didn't get the new
stove (13), the floors in clues 7 and 10 cannot be the same. Since Lisa
didn't have her dryer replaced (2), the floors in clues 4 and 7 must be
different. So, in each of clues 4, 7, and 10, a different floor of the
building is named. By clue 3, Ms. Underwood has the apartment directly
above the person who got a new washing machine. Since the washing machine
didn't go into Kate's apartment (12), the floor on which the person who got
the washing machine isn't in clue 10. Since neither Lisa (2) nor Mr. Price
(12) got the washing machine, the floor on which the person who got the
washing machine lives isn't in clue 4. By clue 7, Jeff got the washing
machine and lives on the same floor as the person who got a new dryer.
Again, by clue 3, Ms. Underwood lives directly above Jeff. Ms. Underwood
isn't Misty, who lives directly above Ian (9). If Ms. Underwood were Kate, the
person who got a new stove would live directly above the one who got the
dryer (10). Since Ms. Underwood didn't get a new microwave (8), by clue 11,
the person who did get a microwave would have to live above the one who had
the stove replaced, Mr. Olsen. By clue 9, Mr. Olsen
would be Ian, and Misty would be the tenant who got the microwave. However,
from earlier, Lisa and Mr. Price then would share this floor in the
building--impossible given this arrangement. So, Ms. Underwood is Lisa,
and Mr. Price lives above the person who got a new dryer. By clue 11,
Mr. Price's new appliance is the microwave, and Mr. Olsen got the dryer.
Ian is Mr. Price, and Misty lives above him (9). Misty got the stove, and
Kate lives above Lisa (10). By elimination, Mr. Olsen is Hank. By clue 5, Lisa
had her refrigerator replaced, and Jeff is Trent. By clue 6, Misty is Ramos;
and Kate Sanders got a new dishwasher. Kate Sanders lives in Apt. 3E (1),
with Misty in 3W. Lisa lives in 2E, Ian in 2W, Jeff in 1E, and Hank in 1W.
In sum, the new appliances were delivered to the Summerset Apartments as
follows:
- 3E -- Kate Sanders, dishwasher
- 3W -- Misty Ramos, stove
- 2E -- Lisa Underwood, refrigerator
- 2W -- Ian Price, microwave
- 1E -- Jeff Trent, washing machine
- 1W -- Hank Olsen, dryer
