NerdBird's Riddle Archive

Every weekend a new logic riddle is published here (please forgive me, if real life now and then forces me to delay the publishing) and old riddles are moved to the archive. Every riddle has been constructed and tested by me, but still I won't guarantee that they "work". Never mind, go ahead and try!

Riddle #27 (published November 14, 1998)

5 young girls get huge presents for Christmas, each nicely wrapped up in pretty paper and with some kind of decoration (a bow or a pretty ribbon). Mildred got a Barbie doll. The new dress was wrapped in paper that was metallic red with stripes. The new CD was decorated with silver ribbon. The girl who got a pair of shoes got them from her sister. The teddy bear was decorated with a blue silk ribbon. No mother gave the present that was wrapped in paper that was light blue with a Santa motif. The wrapping paper that was silver with stars was decorated with a white silk ribbon. Mildred didn't get any present from her uncle and aunt. Dora's present was wrapped in paper that was dark blue with Christmas trees. The girl who got the present that was wrapped in paper that was golden with snowflakes believed the present was from Santa himself. Tania was very fond of the big golden bow on her present. Eve got her present from her sister. The grandmother used paper that was metallic red with stripes. A girl got a present with a big red bow from her sister. Melinda got a teddy bear. The uncle and aunt didn't use paper that was light blue with a Santa motif.

A girl got a new CD… who gave it to her?
