I got most of them, but I'm stuck on this one. Please help! Do you have any ideas?
Ms. Adams, Ms. Baker, Ms. Catt, Ms. Dodge, Ms. Ennis, and Ms. Fisk all went shopping one morning at the Emporium. Each woman went directly to the floor carrying the article that she wanted to buy, and each woman bought only one article. The purchases were a book, a dress, a handbag, a necktie, a hat, and a lamp.
All the women except Ms. Adams entered the elevator on the main floor. Two men also entered the elevator. Two women, Ms. Catt and the one who bought the necktie, got off at the second floor. Dresses were sold on the third floor. The two men got off at the fourth floor. The woman who bought the lamp got off at the fifth floor, leaving Ms. Fisk all alone to get off at the sixth floor.
The next day Ms. Baker, who received the handbag as a surprise gift from one of the women who got off at the second floor, met her husband returning the necktie that one of the other women had given him. If books are sold on the main floor, and Ms. Ennis was the sixth person to get out of the elevator, what did each of these women buy?

Ms Adams Definatly had the book
Ms Baker couldn't have the necktie or the handbag- so I think she had the dress
Ms. Catt had the handbag
Ms. Dodge had the necktie
Ms. Ennis had the lamp
Ms. Fink couldn't have had the dress so she had the hat
Could you let me know the answers when you find out. I wrote out he problem and slowly worked it out by reading and rereading.

Look into logic problems and how to solve them. Usually you would want to do a cross reference, so you'll list all of the names in the rows, and all of the floors and purchases in the columns going across. Then mark off those which cannot be true with an X and the ones that are definitely true with a O. Eventually you'll narrow down all the possibilities to until you get to the correct answer.
For example, Ms. Catt couldn't have bought the necktie or the dress, because it says "Ms. Catt and the one who bought the necktie, got off at the second floor. Dresses were sold on the third floor." So you put an X where Ms. Catt intersects with necktie and dress.
