Good Evening West Coasters and Good Morning all you Easterners!
OK.. this is for all you whiners out there who told me the Saturdays riddle was just too darn easy!
So grab some coffee and riddle away!
Ms. Adams, Ms. Baker, Ms. Carmichael, Ms. Dodge, Ms. Eldridge, and Ms. Franklin all went Christmas shopping one morning at Nordstroms. Each woman went directly to the floor that sold 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. Carmichael 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. Franklin all alone to get off at the sixth floor.
The day after Christmas, 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. Eldridge was the sixth person to get out of the elevator, what did each of these women buy?
