There are five women having dinner on a circular table. Mrs. Smith is sitting between Miss Cooper and Miss Andrews. Annie is sitting between Connie and Mrs. Grey. Miss Cooper is seated between Annie and Yvette. Elizabeth is seated with Mrs. Summers on her left and Miss Andrews on her right. Teresa paid the bill.

What are the full names of these five women?

1. Smith is between Cooper and Andrews.
2. Annie is between Connie and Grey.
3. Cooper is between Annie and Yvette.
4. Elizabeth has Summers on her left and Andrews on her right.
5. Teresa paid the bill.

1) There are five positions around the circular table.
Elizabeth has Summers on left, Andrews on right (Clue #4), so let's put ELIZABETH AT POSIITON #1. Going clockwise, that makes SUMMERS AT POSITION #2 and ANDREWS AT POSITION #5 (Clue #4).

2) Smith is between Cooper and Andrews (Clue #1). Smith cannot be position #1, as that would make Cooper at position #2 or #5 (which has just been established to be for Summers and Andrews). So, SMITH IS AT POSITION #4, and COOPER IS AT POSITION #3 (Clue #1).

This, so far, makes the seating as: Elizabeth #1, Summers #2, Cooper #3, Smith #4, and Andrews #5. The only surname not listed yet is "Grey," so ELIZABETH IS GREY, by elimination.

3) Annie is between Connie and Grey (position #1) (Clue #2). Annie is not Grey (Clue #2). Annie is either at position #2 or position #5, so is either Summers or Andrews.

4) Cooper is between Annie and Yvette (Clue #3), so Annie cannot be Andrews (position #5) because Cooper is position #3. ANNIE IS SUMMERS, AT POSIITON #2. CONNIE IS COOPER AT POSITION #3 (Clue #3).

5) YVETTE IS SMITH AT POSITION #4 (Clue #3)

This brings the seating now to: Elizabeth Grey #1, Annie Summers #2, Connie Cooper #3, Yvette Smith #4, and Andrews #5. With Teresa being the only name not yet placed on the chart, she must be Andrews, and paid the bill (Clue #5).

Thus,
ELIZABETH GREY, #1
ANNIE SUMMERS, #2
CONNIE COOPER, #3
YVETTE SMITH, #4
TERESA ANDREWS, #5

(I hope)

What's more to the point - which of the five women told the other four that they were wearing the wrong coloured clothes, their hair styles were old fashioned and accused them of making eyes at her husband?
