The Joy of Gathering (Print the page for your puzzling enjoyment)
Lydia Stevenson (Schwarz) was thrilled that her five married daughters (no two of whom have the same surname) and their families could spend Easter weekend with her. Each family including the Franklins traveled from a different state to the holidays reunions. Mrs. Stevens lived in a small house so each family rented a cabin at the nearby Pleasantville Gardens, where each was assigned a cabin with a different number (10, 11, 12, 14, 15). Everyone had such a great time that they agreed to get together for five different holidays, with each family hosting a different one of the gatherings. From the information provided, can you determine the state from which each family traveled, the number of the cabin in which they stayed, and the holiday gathering each has agreed to host?| 1. | The Roberts and the family who lives in Pennsylvania chose to host the July 4th and Thanksgiving gatherings, in some order. |
| 2. | The Youngs are either the family who will host the Labor Day get-together or the family who lives in New Jersey (whose cabin number was exactly one lower than that in which the Greenes stayed). |
| 3. | Neither the family who lives in Delaware nor the ones who live in Pennsylvania chose to host the July 4th gathering. |
| 4. | The family who will host the Christmas party stayed in a cabin number exactly one higher than that of the Youngs but lower than that of the Orwells. The Orwells and the family who chose to host the Christmas gathering live in New Jersey and Connecticut, in some order. |
| 5. | The family who will host the Memorial Day gathering stayed in a cabin numbered exactly two higher than that of the New York family. |
