John loves Mary, who loves Jim
Arthur loves Hazel who loves Bruce who loves ellen
Bruce loves ellen who loves john who loves mary
hazel loves bruce as he hates gloria and gloria hates him
finally, we are left with jim loving gloria who in turn loves arthur

So Gloria loves Arthur.

Maybe if you could give more information? I have been working on this for ten minutes and so far, i got that since gloria hates bruce, bruce must hate gloria, and so Hazel loves Bruce. Gah... i give up, Gloria loves Arthur.

I am really interested in what Math equation could possibly solve this. As of right now it appears to me that there is not enough information to apply an elimination formula.
