To solve this logic puzzle, we'll need to analyze the clues and deduction each clue provides. Let's go through each clue one by one:
1. Peggy thought the cow in the princess costume should have worn a larger size.
This clue tells us that Peggy is not a cow.
2. Pauline thought the horse in the jockey costume was making the wrong statement.
This clue tells us that Pauline is not a horse.
3. Patrick thought the pig in the ballerina costume, that loved jellybeans, looked beautiful.
This clue tells us that Patrick is not a pig.
4. Pierre thought the licorice-loving donkey in the pirate costume looked quite dashing.
This clue tells us that Pierre is not a donkey.
5. Phillip thought the marshmallow-loving goat in the pumpkin costume could have been more creative.
This clue tells us that Phillip is not a goat.
6. Patrick, Pierre, and Phillip were not cows.
Since Patrick and Pierre are already known, this clue only tells us that Phillip is not a cow.
7. Peggy did not dress as a jockey or a ballerina, and Pauline did not like gumdrops.
This clue tells us that Peggy is not a jockey or a ballerina. It also hints that Pauline did not dress as a horse since she does not like gumdrops.
8. Patrick was not a goat or a donkey.
This clue confirms that Patrick is not a goat and not a donkey.
9. Pierre was not a goat.
This clue confirms that Pierre is also not a goat.
Now, let's analyze the information we have gathered:
- Peggy is not a cow and cannot be a jockey or a ballerina.
- Pauline is not a horse and cannot be a jockey or a ballerina. She also does not like gumdrops.
- Patrick is not a pig, a goat, or a donkey.
- Pierre is not a donkey or a goat.
- Phillip is not a goat.
To determine which animal each person is, we need to match the clues with the possibilities.
Based on the clues, we deduce:
- Peggy cannot be a cow, horse, jockey or ballerina.
- Pauline cannot be a horse, jockey or ballerina. She also does not like gumdrops.
- Patrick cannot be a pig, goat, or donkey.
- Pierre cannot be a donkey or goat.
- Phillip cannot be a goat.
Therefore, from the remaining animal options, Peggy must be the pig, Pauline must be the cow, Patrick must be the donkey, Pierre must be the horse, and Phillip must be the goat.
Final answers:
- Peggy is the pig.
- Pauline is the cow.
- Patrick is the donkey.
- Pierre is the horse.
- Phillip is the goat.
