Ice Cream Catastrophe
Six years ago, the Wilson family became the talk of Cardiff when Mrs. Wilson gave birth to identical quintuplet girls. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson loved their daughters very much, but discovered very quickly that they couldn't tell them apart. Even as they grew older, Mrs. Wilson had to dress the girls in different coloured shirts to differentiate between them. 

One day, Mrs. Wilson took Suzie, Sally, Samantha, Sara and Christina to Wilberforce. The girls were very excited because they were always allowed to stop for ice cream at Eileen’s Ice Cream Parlor. Each girl always ordered their favorite flavour ice cream, and no two girls had the same favourite. Unfortunately, after they all had their ice cream, the five girls wandered off from Mrs. Wilson. In her panic, Mrs. Wilson forgot which colour shirt each girl was wearing, and therefore couldn't identify them when the police found them. Can you help her?

1. The five girls were Sally, the girl wearing green, the girl wearing white, O6R1W4 O5L5R2R3 E3R1O3 O3R2R6W4R2W4R6 L4O3H1H1W4W4 L5L4W4 L4R2W4H3E2 and Sara.
2. Christina ordered a flavour of ice cream that started with the same letter as her name.
3. Samantha, Sara and Sally were wearing shirts that reminded them of their favorite parts of summer: the colour of sunshine, the colour of grass and the colour of the sky on a clear day.
4. Mrs. Wilson was upset when the girl eating chocolate ice cream dropped some on her white shirt, and reminded herself to stop at Foodland and buy some bleach on the way home.
5. Sara could never decide if she liked Strawberry, Chocolate or Vanilla Ice Cream the best, so she always ordered the flavour that had all three.
6. The girl who loved mint ice cream wore a green shirt. She later made the observation that they were the same colour.
7. Christina was not wearing a white shirt or a blue shirt.
8. Sara was not wearing a blue shirt.
