The names of the individuals, the available room numbers and the colour of each room are given below, albeit not in the same order.
Names of the individuals: Kenneth, Ted, Daphne, Sheila, Derek, Alexa, Diandra, Gene, Tyra, James, Sarah and Grant.
Available Rooms: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6.
Room Colours: Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink and White.
Match each of the individuals with their roommates, room numbers and colour of their rooms.
It is known that:
(I) Kenneth and Ted share a room.
(II) Derek does not live in room #6, which is yellow.
(III) Neither room #5 nor room #4 is blue or orange.
(IV) The pink room has an odd number, but it is not #3.
(V) Alexa lives in room #5 with Sheila.
(VI) Diandra's roommate is not Tyra.
(VII) The blue room is even numbered.
(VIII) James lives in the green room; Sheila in the white one.
(IX) Sarah is not in room #3.
(X) Grant's room is not blue.

(In reply to Hidden assumption? by Avin)
Avin,
I agree with your statement . . . not enough info. I also added the assumption that roommates must be the same gender (and that no-one has a cross gender name). Still not enough info. I then started to assume that colors were gender biased, but if Blue and Green are for the guys, and White and Pink for the girls, what are Yellow and Orange?
Not enough info.
