Who is staying in the room with number 203?

Steps to Solve

1. List the given information We have 6 friends: Bellamy, Dakota, Emerson, Finley, Skyler, and Tatum. They are in rooms numbered 201 to 206 and study at different institutes.

2. Identify room distributions They are in even-numbered rooms at Cherry Institute, Frazer Institute, and Vixen Institute. Starting with that information, we note:

• Rooms: 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206

3. Assign rooms based on clues From the clues provided:

• Finley is in Benton and occupies a room which is one more than the Frazer Institute student.

4. Establish known conditions Tatum is studying at Frazer Institute. Therefore, we can say:

• If Tatum is in room X, then Finley is in room ( X + 1 ).
• The even-numbered rooms must then belong to Cherry, Frazer, or Vixen.

5. Fill in the known rooms Bellamy is in room 206 (given), so:

• Finley must take room 205 (the highest available next to Bellamy) and Tatum must be in room 204. This means Tatum studies at Frazer.

6. Completing room associations Now we know:

• Tatum: 204 (Frazer)
• Finley: 205 (Benton)
• Bellamy: 206 (Vixen)

The only rooms left are 201, 202, and 203.

7. Assign remaining rooms From clues, Emerson is in a room starting with "C" and is in an even room. Thus, Emerson must be in room 202 (Cherry):

• Skyler must then be in room 203 (the last available odd room).

8. Final name assignment Now we can summarize where each person is:

• 201: Dakota
• 202: Emerson
• 203: Skyler
• 204: Tatum
• 205: Finley
• 206: Bellamy
