Logical Larry was upset to learn that his recent submission to a logic problem magazine had multiple solutions. As it turns out, the magazine editor accidentally omitted one of his clues.

Here is the clue as it was printed:

Four children (Betty, Bobby, Billy, and Brian) enter a store selling bikes, balls, and balloons, each of which come in blue, brown, or beige.

From the clues below, determine what each child purchased:

1. Betty did not purchase a balloon.

2. Bobby and Billy purchased the same color item, which was not brown. Betty and Bobby purchased the same item.

3. Betty thought it best to purchase a brown item.

4. Brian is the only one who purchased both his item and his color.

5. A brown ball was not purchased. Neither was a blue bike.

The missing clue should have read, "A balloon was not purchased by _________" However, Larry cannot remember what should be in the blank to make the problem solvable.

What should be in the blank?

The idea of publishing such articles is great, because it encourages people to think enough and exercise their brain in an optimal and meaningful way. It is ideal for children because it is fun. Thinking creative is part of learning too and Rushmyessay doing best for all the students.
