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.
