White Water Race -- A Logic Problem

Ten friends, including Jane, went white water canoe racing in separate canoes. Each individual named their canoe for a Kentucky Derby winner for good luck. One was named "Bubbling Over". Each canoe was painted a different color. One was red. From the information provided, determine each participant's name, the name of their canoe and its color, and the order in which each finished the race.

  • "Smarty Jones", which was the green canoe, came in 5th.
  • Mary finished last in "Bold Venture".
  • "Needles", painted orange finished 4th, three places ahead of Julie's canoe.
  • Roberta finished just behind John, whose white canoe was named "Shut Out".
  • Fred's brown "Foolish Pleasure" finished just ahead of John and immediately behind the purple canoe.
  • The blue canoe finished just behind the 9th place "Sea Hero".
  • "Winning Colors", Patsy's canoe, was painted pink, and finished two places behind George.
  • Malcolm did not win the race.
  • The yellow canoe finished 6th, just ahead of the black one and just behind Pierre.
