The setup

Three friends — Margaret, Robert, and Elaine — meet at the community center. Each has a favorite drink (tea, coffee, or lemonade) and sits in a different seat (window, middle, or aisle).

Clues

• Margaret doesn't drink coffee.
• The person by the window drinks tea.
• Robert sits in the middle seat.
• Elaine doesn't sit by the window.
• The lemonade drinker sits in the aisle seat.
