Mr. Smithe will marry Charlotte.
Facts 1a and 3a tell us that Charlotte is either the only one with blue eyes or the only one without blue eyes. Facts 1b and 2a tell us that Brenda is either the only one with red hair or the only one without red hair. Facts 2b and 3b tell us that Charlotte is either the only one who is 5 ' 11 " or the only one who isn ' t 5 ' 11 ". Fact 4 tells us that no one woman can have one characteristic while another has two characteristics. This gives us two scenarios:
1. Audrey has blue eyes, does not have red hair, and is 5 ' 11 ". Brenda has blue eyes, red hair, and is 5 ' 11 ". Charlotte does not have blue eyes, does not have red hair, and is not 5 ' 11 ".
2. Audrey does not have blue eyes, has red hair, and is not 5 ' 11 ". Brenda does not have blue eyes, does not have red hair, and is not 5 ' 11 ". Charlotte has blue eyes, red hair, and is 5 ' 11 ".
Fact 4a tells us that in scenario 1, Mr. Smithe will marry Charlotte. Fact 4b tells us that in scenario 2, Mr. Smithe will marry... Charlotte.
