9. FAMILY WEDDINGS
Last June, five brothers married five sisters on
the same day, in the same church, five different
ceremonies. The five brothers are Earl, Virgil,
Lester, Leroy, and Ray. The five sisters (and
brides) are Betty Lou, Peggy Sue, Mary Jane,
Sally Jo, and Cindy Lee. From the clues given,
try to determine the composition of each
couple and the order in which the ceremonies
were performed.
1. Lester was married after Cindy Lee and
Mary Jane but before Earl and Leroy.
2. Betty Lou was not Lester's bride.
3. The first and last couples to be married
featured Cindy Lee, Sally Jo, Virgil, and
Leroy.
