The monsters that escaped from Erenan's monster engineering labs hurried through a sports center, knocking over several people in their way. Four women seem to be especially shaken by the events and in their shock they forgot which course they wanted to attend, how old they are and which of the sport bags scattered around the ground is theirs. Can you help them?
Names: Eve, Fanny, Gina, Holly
Sport courses: Basket Ball, Tennis, Soccer, Climbing
Bag colours: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow
Ages: 22, 26, 30, 31
  • The youngest person is not playing soccer.
  • The soccer clothes are neither in the blue nor in the yellow bag.
  • Eve plays Tennis.
  • The woman going climbing is older than the one playing soccer.
  • Gina is not the oldest.
  • The person who is 26 years old does not own the green bag.
  • The person with the red bag is older than the person with the blue bag.
  • The person who plays soccer is 30 years old.
  • Gina does not have a blue bag.
  • Fanny is younger than Eve.
  • The oldest person is not playing Tennis.

From what I can tell, the ages and sports have unique solutions but the bag colors have multiple ones. You could change one of your clues to "neither the soccer clothes nor the tennis rackets are in the blue or yellow bags" to make the solution unique.

I got one of the clues wrong - that's why it doesn't work out. Sorry for wasting your time Sad

Remove this clue: "The person who plays soccer is 30 years old." and replace it with "The owner of the yellow bag is 30 years old."
Now the solution should be unique (and also quite different from before)

Here's the (now hopefully) correct version:
Names: Eve, Fanny, Gina, Holly
Sport courses: Basket Ball, Tennis, Soccer, Climbing
Bag colours: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow
Ages: 22, 26, 30, 31
  • The youngest person is not playing soccer.
  • The soccer clothes are neither in the blue nor in the yellow bag.
  • Eve plays Tennis.
  • The woman going climbing is older than the one playing soccer.
  • Gina is not the oldest.
  • The person who is 26 years old does not own the green bag.
  • The person with the red bag is older than the person with the blue bag.
  • The owner of the yellow bag is 30 years old.
  • Gina does not have a blue bag.
  • Fanny is younger than Eve.
  • The oldest person is not playing Tennis.

Translation (highlight):

Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived with her mother in a cottage on the edge of a large, dark forest. This little girl often wore a little red cloak with her little red hood and for this reason people called her Little Red Riding Hood.
