maths homework 2009

[Shutpa]

When I posted last years maths homework, Softus came up with the right answer. I hope that he might look in for this years.
Question 1
Four old-timers, John, Willie, Andy and Greig, take their wives to a tea dance. At one point during the dance, the partners were as follows:

Flo is dancing with Willie.
Hettie is dancing with Beebs husband.
Mary is dancing with Hettie's husband.
Andy is dancing with Greig's wife.
Greig is dancing with Willies wife.

Identify the married couples.

[PrenticeBoyofDerry]

Me thinks there's a bit of two stepping going on

 

[kidgreen61]

Willie is married to Flo
John is married to Mary
Andy is married to Hettie
Greig's wife is unnamed

 

[AndrewSchofield]

Willie is married to Flo
John is married to Mary
Andy is married to Hettie
Greig's wife is unnamed

Willie can't be married to Flo because if he was then he'd be dancing with his wife - and it says that Greig is dancing with Willie's wife.

 

[kidgreen61]

You're right

 

[Nige F]

What are John and Mrs. x up to

 

[Trazor]

Flo is married to John.
Hettie is married to Greig.
Mary is married to Willie.

If Andy's wife is present, we do not know her name.
