Three people's first names are Josie, Nicki, and Sara. Their last names are, not necessarily in that order, Croll, Liu, and Menkin. Their favorite colors, not necessarily in order, are red, yellow, and blue. The number of letters in each person's favorite color is the same as the number of letters in at least one of that person's two names. What is the full name of the person whose favorite color is blue?

Answer 1

We are given three people: Josie, Nicki, and Sara, with last names Croll, Liu, and Menkin. We also have favorite colors red, yellow, and blue. The main condition is that the number of letters in each person's favorite color matches the number of letters in at least one of their two names.

Let's analyze:

1. Names and Lengths:

   • Josie (5 letters)
   • Nicki (5 letters)
   • Sara (4 letters)
   • Croll (5 letters)
   • Liu (3 letters)
   • Menkin (6 letters)

2. Colors and Lengths:

   • Red (3 letters)
   • Yellow (6 letters)
   • Blue (4 letters)

Now matching the colors to name lengths to satisfy the condition:

• Red (3 letters): This can only fit with Liu (3 letters).

• Yellow (6 letters): Can only fit with Menkin (6 letters).

• Blue (4 letters): Can fit with Sara (4 letters) but not with Josie or Nicki since they have 5 letters.

Now assigning the colors based on the determined matches:

1. Liu has Red.
2. Menkin has Yellow.
3. Sara has Blue.

Thus, the full name of the person whose favorite color is blue is:

Sara Menkin.

Answer 2

Since the color has the same number of letters as either a first or last name, you can look for 4 letters, given that blue has 4 letters. That would bring you to Sara. You would then have to find her last name, which you can do by process of elimination. The word yellow has 6 letters, and so does Menkin. That means that Menkin cannot be her last name. The word red has 3 letters, and so does Liu that leaves Croll.
Three people's first names are Josie, Nicki, and Sara. Their last names are, not necessarily in that order, Croll, Liu, and Menkin. Their favorite colors, not necessarily in order, are red, yellow, and blue. The number of letters in each person's favorite color is the same as the number of letters in at least one of that person's two names.
Therefore, The full name of the person whose favorite color is blue is Sara Croll.

Answer 3

Let's clarify the reasoning step by step based on your instructions to correctly determine the full name of the person whose favorite color is blue.

1. Identifying Lengths of Names and Colors:

   • First Names:
     • Josie (5 letters)
     • Nicki (5 letters)
     • Sara (4 letters)
   • Last Names:
     • Croll (5 letters)
     • Liu (3 letters)
     • Menkin (6 letters)
   • Favorite Colors:
     • Red (3 letters)
     • Yellow (6 letters)
     • Blue (4 letters)

2. Matching Colors with Names Based on Lengths:

   • Red (3 letters): This can correspond to Liu (3 letters).
   • Yellow (6 letters): This can correspond to Menkin (6 letters).
   • Blue (4 letters): This can correspond to Sara (4 letters).

Based on the length of the colors and matching them with names:

• Liu must be associated with Red.
• Menkin must be associated with Yellow.
• Sara must be associated with Blue.

3. Finding Sara's Last Name:
   • We have determined:
     • Liu = Red
     • Menkin = Yellow
     • Sara = Blue

Since Menkin cannot be Sara's last name (due to its length being 6), the only remaining last name for Sara is Croll.

Thus, we have:

• Sara Croll has Blue as her favorite color.

So, the full name of the person whose favorite color is blue is indeed:

Sara Croll.
