From the introduction, no two of the girls ended up simply exchanging CDs.
By clue 1, the CD Cindy brought was given to the girl who brought
The Inspiration as a gift. By clue 4, the Vito girl's CD gift went to the
friend who brought Daughtry to the exchange. So, Cindy and the Vito girl
are two different girls. Since the Vito girl didn't bring The Inspiration
as her gift (9), the girl who bought the The Inspiration is a third friend
to Cindy and the Vito girl. Similarly, since Cindy didn't buy Daughtry
as a gift (7), the girl who bought Daughtry is a fourth friend to the three
already named. By clue 5, the girl who bought The Evolution ended up
getting The Inspiration. Since Cindy's CD ended up with the girl who
brought The Inspiration (1), from the introduction, Cindy didn't get
The Inspiration CD, or the two girls would have simply exchanged gifts.
So, the girl in clue 5 is either the fifth one to the four already enumerated
or is the Vito girl. If she were the fifth girl, Cindy's CD would have gone
to the girl who bought The Inspiration (1) and the Vito girl's CD would
have been for the girl who bought Daughtry (4). Since Cindy didn't get
Daughtry (7), Daughtry would have gone to the Vito girl--but then the
Vito girl and the one who bought Daughtry would have exchanged the CDs
they bought, contradicting the introduction. So, the Vito girl bought
The Evolution and got the The Inspiration. The girl who bought Daughtry
took home The Evolution (4). Since Cindy's CD went to the girl who brought
The Inspiration (1), the fifth girl's CD went to Cindy and the fifth girl
got Daughtry. By clue 2, the Steffins girl ended up with the CD Erin
brought as a gift, so the Steffins girl didn't buy The Inspiration or she
would have gotten the CD Cindy bought (1). The Steffins girl didn't get
Daughtry , since Erin didn't bring Daughtry (13). The Steffins girl isn't
Cindy (10). The Steffins girl is the one who bought Daughtry and got
The Evolution from Erin Vito (2). Neither the Williams girl (3) nor the
Urban girl (6) started with B'Day, so the Turner girl did. Since she didn't
end up with Daughtry (11), she is Cindy. The girl who bought
The Inspiration got B'Day (1) and is the Urban girl (3). The Williams girl
brought The Dutchess and gave it to Cindy. Alexis isn't the Urban (6) or
Williams (8) girl and is the Steffins girl. By clue 12, Monique's last name
is Williams, and Kayla's is Urban. The five girls bought and got CDs during
their gift exchange as follows:
- Alexis Steffins, Daughtry, The Evolution
- Cindy Turner, B'Day, The Dutchess
- Kayla Urban, The Inspiration, B'Day
- Erin Vito, The Evolution, The Inspiration
- Monique Williams, The Dutchess, Daughtry
