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.

Hettie can't be married to Greig.. as Mary is dancing with Hettie's husband, and Andy is dancing with Greig's wife..

 

[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.

Hettie can't be married to Greig.. as Mary is dancing with Hettie's husband, and Andy is dancing with Greig's wife..

Hettie and Greig are married...Mary is dancing with Greig....Andy is dancing with Hettie.

I dont't see the problem......

It's not a maths question, it's illogical captain

At one point during the dance, the partners were as follows:

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

Identify the married couples.

Is there a table at said, "dance", upon which there is an ashtray, filled with car keys?

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.

Sorry, I got it a bit confused but it's OK now!

 

[ColJack]

[Trazor]

Sorry, I got it a bit confused but it's OK now!

Well thanks for the total waste of time...............

 

[Softus]

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

Correct.

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

Andy is married to Beeb.

 

[Trazor]

Andy is married to Beeb.

If only Beeb had been mentioned in the original question.
