Three couples exchanged presents for the holidays. Each boy gave a present only to his girlfriend and each girl gave a present only to her boyfriend. The boys' names were Hal, Richard, and Bill. The girls' names were Sheryl, Jan, and Julie. The wrapping papers on the presents were stripes, dotted, red, green, yellow and blue. Using the following clues, determine who gave which present to whom.
1. No person gave a present whose color began with the same letter as his/her name.
2. The jeweler uses blue wrapping paper.
3. Julie gave a present that was not solid colored.
4. The red present that Bill got weighed 5 pounds.
5. Richard bought his present in sporting goods.
6. Jan bought a watch for her friend.
7. The stripes present came from a women's store.
8. The package Jan received matched her green eyes.
9. Hall gave a present wrapped in solid color.
10. Julie's name is longer than her boyfriend's.
Enjoy!

is in correct because if Bill got a 5 pound present than that means Jan's watch she bought is 5 pounds. Which of course cannot work technically speaking :) try again and provide what wrapping paper they used

without actually weighing the boxes you could find the one that weighs the most and then compare it to the other ones on a real scale, and open the box and get out your book .=D
