| From the introduction, one girl called a 2nd, who called a 3rd, etc., through
a 5th call to the 6th girl. By clue 4, Cerise called the girl who was at the
Express store at Summerset Mall, who then called the Graham girl (13). The
Graham girl then called another girl (6). So, starting with Cerise, these
consecutive calls were made: Cerise to the girl at the Express store to
the Graham girl to the 4th friend. By clue 1, Lisa called the South
girl. Since the South girl isn't Cerise (9) and Lisa is neither the
Graham girl nor was called by the Graham girl (6), Lisa and the South
girl are the 5th and 6th girls to the four in the sequence starting
with Cerise. Therefore, either Lisa made the 1st call and Cerise the 3rd,
or Cerise made the 1st call and Lisa the 5th. Testing the latter
possibility, the calls would have been Cerise to the girl at the Express
store to the Graham girl to the 4th girl to Lisa to the South girl.
By clue 7, Dawn called Faith. Since Faith didn't call Lisa (11), Dawn
would be the one at the Express store; and Faith would be Graham. By
clue 3, one girl used her cell phone while in the bathtub to call Alicia.
Since Lisa didn't make the call from the bathtub (14), Faith would have,
and Alicia would be the 4th girl in the order, with Erica then last to be
called. By clue 2, the Nokia girl was called by the friend who was at the
Moonlight Skating Rink. However, since Alicia didn't place the call from
the skating rink (10) and the Nokia girl isn't Dawn (12), there is no way for
clue 2 to work in the arrangement being tried. Therefore, the order in which
the girls made the calls is the first possibility above: Lisa to the South
girl to Cerise to the girl at the Express store to the Graham girl to the
6th friend. By clue 7, Dawn called Faith; so Dawn is either the one at
the Express store or is Graham. If Dawn were Graham, by clues 3 and 14,
Cerise in the bathtub would have called Alicia, who would have been at
the Mall's Express store--no (10). So, Dawn called from the Express store
and Faith is Graham. By clues 3 and 14, Faith called Alicia while taking
a bath. By elimination, Erica is South and took Lisa's call. Since Dawn
isn't the Nokia girl (12), by clue 2, Cerise is, and Erica called Cerise
from the skating rink. By clue 15, Alicia is the Alexander girl. She
was at soccer practice when she was called (5). Since the Linesman girl
didn't call from the car wash or Pizza Hut (16), she can't be Lisa and is
Dawn. Lisa is the Bell girl, who didn't place her call from the Sparkle Car
Wash (8); she called from Pizza Hut. By elimination, Cerise Nokia called
from the car wash. In order, the cell phone
calls were made as follows:
- Lisa Bell, at Pizza Hut, to
- Erica South, at Moonlight Skating Rink, to
- Cerise Nokia, at the Sparkle Car Wash, to
- Dawn Linesman, at the Express Store, to
- Faith Graham, in the bathtub, to
- Alicia Alexander, at soccer practice
