Third Puzzle: Logic Puzzle
HOL is throwing a ball! Five girls from Ravenclaw are quite excited as to how it will turn out, considering they all felt that HOL boys were just not worth their time this year. Thus, they all sent out owls asking different guys to the dance! Found out which girl brought which date, what color their dress was, and what dance they were best at!

1. The girl in the purple dress could not keep up with the two-stepping couple. Maya could not believe her friend asked a Dalek of all things, mostly because he stepped on her pink dress.

2. Jenna looked fabulous doing the fox trot, but not in a black dress. Cassie giggled every time Aylarah waltzed by with Yoda.

3. Everyone was quite shocked to see Edward with a girl in green, especially Alexia. George Cooper's rhumba caused everyone to take a few steps back in a giant circle.

4. One girl was very daring in her orange dress, as she claimed it matched her date who was not Guy of Gisborne. Maya's tango caused everyone to 'ooh' and 'awe' in all the right moments.

5. Maya knew Alexia would wear a purple dress, even though she claimed to try a different color. Despite Cassie's fluorescent dress, her two step made her stand out the most all night.

Answer (highlight):
Alexia took George Cooper. She wore a purple dress. They danced the rhumba.
Maya took the Guy of Gisborne. She wore a pink dress. They danced the tango.
Aylarah took Yoda. She wore a black dress. They danced the waltz.
Cassie took a Dalek. She wore an orange dress. They dance the two-step.
