MONSTER COSTUME PARTY — Answer Key



The fourth monster to arrive didn't bring apples (2) or the trivia game (4); he brought either CDs or pumpkins.   Frankenstein didn't bring CDs (3) or pumpkins (5), so he didn't arrive fourth.   The fourth arrival wasn't the Creature (1) or Wolfman (2), so the Thing arrived fourth.   The third monster to arrive wasn't Wolfman (2) or Frankenstein (3); he was the Creature.   The second arrival was dressed as Papa Smurf and the Thing brought pumpkins (1).   The Thing, who arrived fourth with the pumpkins, must be mentioned in clue 3, so he wore the Peter Cottontail costume (3).   The monster dressed as Tinker Bell didn't arrive first (2), so he was third; by elimination, the monster in the Cinderella costume arrived first.   The monster who brought apples arrived second (2).   Wolfman arrived first (2), and, by elimination, Frankenstein arrived second.   The Creature, who was third, didn't bring CDs (3); he brought the trivia game, and, by elimination, the Wolfman brought the CDs.

In summary:
1st Wolfman Cinderella CDs
2nd Frankenstein Papa Smurf apples
3rd Creature Tinker Bell trivia game
4th Thing Peter Cottontail pumpkins
