Game Setup

Five people each use three different types of flowers to form arrangements. Each arrangement is exactly four flowers.

Rule 1 says that no one else can have Solomon’s RR combination.

Rule 6 says that only one person uses two lilies. Who could this person be? It couldn’t be S or W since each person must use three types of flowers. S and W currently only have one type of flower filling two spots, so they can’t use two lilies.

Rule 5 also tells us that other than Zepi, no one else can use exactly one H and one R. This means that Ursula has one more R or H so that she doesn’t have the same one H one R combo as Zepi. But since she can’t have Solomon’s RR combo, she needs to have another H and then one of G or L. I put boxes around Solomon and Zepi’s combos to show that no one else can have those combos.

At this point, all you need to know is that if the person currently has two different types of flowers, then the missing combination is two of the same flower. If they currently have two of the same flowers, then they need two different flowers. Altogether, they each need to end up with three different types of flowers.

Knowing this, we can see that only Tabitha or Zepi can have the LL combo.
