Widow Surmise (Posted on 2013-12-12) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Four women -- April, Bella, Cara, and Denise -- and three men -- Edwin, Frank, and Gary -- play bridge, a card game for four players.
  1. The men and women consist of three married couples and a widow.
  2. The members of each married couple are never partners in a bridge game.
  3. No more than one married couple ever plays in the same bridge game.
One night they played four bridge games in which the partners were as follows:
   Partners	                  	   Partners
April and Edwin          versus          Bella and Frank
April and Gary           versus          Denise and Frank
Bella and Cara           versus          Frank and Gary
Cara and Edwin           versus          Denise and Gary
Who is the widow?

Cara is the one.

Erred in a simple 3*3 table, hurting Edwin.

Enjoy your married life, Denise...
