this is apparently a pre cal problem according to my teacher and it is for a grade. im not capable of piecing things together like this. could anyone help me by tonight? (10-31) please and thank you.
its a logic problem:
Last Saturday, the first five couples to visit Jack O’Lantern’s Halloween Shop rented costumes to wear for the night of October 31. Each husband and wife picked a different costume based on a real or fictional person. Given the clues below, will you get tricked or get a treat by finding the first and last names of each couple (one husband is Mark and one wife Erica), the costume each rented for Halloween, and the order 1st-5th in which the couples paid for their selections?
1.All five women and four of the men picked costumes of “appropriate” gender; one of the husbands, however, thought it would be funny to dress as a female character on Halloween.
2.Nick had wanted to go as Elvis Presley or Uncle Sam but found both costumes had been rented to husbands who were in Jack O’Lantern’s earlier than he was Saturday.
3.Angela and her husband, who didn’t pick the **** Ruth outfit, picked costumes at the store before the woman who chose Madonna and her spouse did.
4.Mrs. Poe, who isn’t the person who rented the Littlest Mermaid costume or the one who chose the Wicked Witch outfit, and her husband picked their costumes immediately ahead of Lou and his wife.
5.In consecutive order first-to-last, Cynthia and her husband, the woman who is going as Catwoman and her husband, and the man dressing as Capt. Hook and his wife rented costumes at Jack O’Lantern’s.
6.Nick, who isn’t Belinda’s husband, and Mr. Hitchcock both decided they were too tall for the Yoda costume, which no one rented on Saturday.
7.Ken and Mr. Chaney and their wives were picking costumes to wear to the Ocean City Marina Floating Halloween Party on October 31.
8.The Kings paid for their rentals, then the couple who had the Old Mother Hubbard and another costume paid for theirs.
9.The man going as Elvis Presley on Halloween, who isn’t Cynthia’s husband, isn’t the one whose wife is going as Barbie.
10.The Hitchcocks were the last of the five couples to choose their costumes.
11.Jim and his wife got their outfits earlier than Mr. & Mrs. Chaney.
12.The wife of the man going as Uncle Sam didn’t pick the Old Mother Hubbard costume because she thought it would be too heavy to wear all evening.
13.Belinda and her husband paid for their costumes immediately after the man going as **** Ruth and his wife paid for theirs and immediately before the woman going as Barbie and her husband rented theirs.
14.Cynthia isn’t the woman masquerading as Madonna on Halloween.
15.Nick, whose wife isn’t going as Barbie, and Deborah’s spouse went to a party last Halloween disguised as George Bush and Al Gore, costumes none of the men selected on Saturday.
16.Belinda, who didn’t choose the Catwoman outfit, isn’t the woman whose husband is going as Elvis Presley
.
17.The Littlest Mermaid costume isn’t the one Mrs. Lugosi rented.

Basically, it is a variation on the “Einstein Riddle”.
There are five categories you must provide, in this case – order of costume hire. I will list them from first purchase (1.) to last purchase (5.).
Forget the waffle and look at the essential clues in each point:
There 10 couples comprised of 5 women and 5 men.
One husband is called Mark, one wife is called Deborah.
1. All the women have female costumes, 4 men are dressed in male costumes, 1 man is dressed in a female costume.
2. Nick is not “Elvis Presley” or “Uncle Sam”.
3. Angela’s husband is not “Babe Ruth”. Angela is before “Madonna”.
4. Mrs Poe is not “Little Mermaid” or “Wicked Witch”, she is before Lou and his wife.
5. Cynthia and her husband are first, “Catwoman” is second, “Captain Hook” is third.
6. Nick is not Belinda’s husband. Nick is not Mr. Hitchcock.
7. Ken is not Mr. Chaney.
8. Mr. and Mrs. King are before “Mother Hubbard”.
9. Cynthia’s husband is not “Elvis Presley”. Whoever is “Elvis Presley”, his wife is not “Barbie”.
10. Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock are last on the list.
11. Jim and his wife are before Mr. and Mrs. Chaney.
12. “Uncle Sam”‘s wife is not “Mother Hubbard”.
13. “Babe Ruth” and his wife are before Belinda and her husband. “Barbie” and her husband are after “Babe Ruth”.
14. Cynthia is not “Madonna”.
15. Nick’s wife is not “Barbie”. Deborah is Nick’s wife.
16. Belinda is not “Catwoman”. Belinda is not “Elvis Presley”‘s wife.
17. Mrs. Lugosi is not “Little Mermaid.
Therefore, I think this is correct:
1. Mr. Mark Lugosi (Uncle Sam) & Mrs. Cynthia Lugosi (Wicked Witch)
2. Mr. Jim Poe (Elvis Presley) & Mrs. Angela Poe (Catwoman)
3. Mr. Lou Chaney (Captain Hook) & Mrs. Erica Chaney (Madonna)
4. Mr. Nick King (Babe Ruth) & Mrs. Deborah King (Little Mermaid)
5. Mr. Ken Hitchcock (Mother Hubbard) & Mrs. Belinda Hitchcock (Barbie)
