SOLUTIONS:
1. Check your progress numbers:
Brianna
Ryan
Tyler
Ashley X1 X1
From clue 2, Ashley is not the secretary. We know from clue 1 that the president is not the
youngest, and from clue 2 that Brianna and the secretary are the youngest members of the
group. Therefore, Brianna is not the president. In the chart, write X2 for these two conditions.
Also we know from clues 1 and 2 that Ashley is not the secretary, because she is older than
the treasurer. Write an X2 in the Secretary column of Ashley’s row.
President Vice President Secretary Treasurer
Brianna X2 X2
Ryan
Tyler
Ashley X1 X2 X1
At this point we see that Ashley must be the vice president and that none of the other
members is the vice president. Thus, we can update the chart as shown below.
President Vice President Secretary Treasurer
Brianna X2 X2 X2
Ryan X2
Tyler X2
Ashley X1 ✓ X2 X1
Now we can see that Brianna must be the treasurer and that neither Ryan nor Tyler is the
treasurer. Update the chart as shown below.
President Vice President Secretary Treasurer
Brianna X2 X2 X2 ✓
Ryan X2 X2
Tyler X2 X2
Ashley X1 ✓ X2 X1
From clue 3, Tyler is not the secretary. Thus, we can conclude that Tyler is the president and
Ryan is be the secretary. See the chart below.
Brianna X2 X2 X2 ✓
Ryan X3 X2 ✓ X2
Tyler ✓ X2 X3 X2
Ashley X1 ✓ X2 X1
Tyler is the president, Ashley is the vice president, Ryan is the secretary, and Brianna is the
treasurer.
