The NASA SCIence Files™
Bound for Disney World
Use logic and the table to solve each problem. Two brothers and their two sisters went on a trip to Disney World. When they boarded US Air flight 295, they discovered that the plane was set up with four seats on one side and three seats on the other side of the aisle. The girls were hoping not to sit with their brothers, but when they looked at their tickets, they saw that they were all seated together. Sally and Sue insisted on sitting next to each other. John had to have the window seat. Where would each child sit? Show all possible seating arrangements.

When the flight attendant came by, John asked for a cola and peanuts. The sibling sitting next to him asked for lemonade and crackers. The brother on the aisle only wanted orange juice to drink and no snack. Sue bumped him as she reached for her drink and spilt his orange juice. Who had apple juice and cookies?
