Twelve people share six college rooms.

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.

(In reply to re(2): Another assumption... by Penny)

If anyone is to successfully solve this, the author should write back. Not to mention put some info in the beginning of the riddle before you post it. Without any assumptions at all (neither same gender nor typical gender color), the only solution turns out like this:

 

1)Pink- Kenneth & Ted, or any combination of Daphne, Derek, Diandra, Gene, Tyra, Sarah, and Grant.

2)Blue- Kenneth & Ted, or any combination of Daphne, Derek, Diandra, Gene, Tyra, and Sarah.

3)Orange- Kenneth & Ted, or any combination of Daphne, Derek, Diandra, Gene, Tyra, and Grant.

4)Green- James, with Daphne, Derek, Diandra, Gene, Tyra, Sarah, or Grant.

5)White- Sheila and Alexa

6)Yellow- Kenneth & Ted, or any combination of Daphne, Diandra, Gene, Tyra, Sarah, and Grant.
