A Day At The Zoo

Last Saturday, Kerry and four other children arrived early at the zoo so they could be the first ones in line (each child has a different favorite type of animal that he or she was anxious to see). As they waited in line, each child received a complimentary Mylar balloon with a different design on it. Two of the children - Johan and Mario - are boys, and three - Kerry, Lani, and Naomi - are girls. Can you determine the order (first, second, third, fourth, or fifth) each child stood in line, each child's favorite type of animal (one child likes the chimpanzees), and the design (one is a rainbow) on the balloon each received?

  1. The girl whose favorite animals are the tigers (who isn't Naomi) was third in line. Her balloon did not have hearts or stripes.
  2. Johan (who was not last in line) was standing immediately behind a boy. Lani's favorite animals are neither the tigers nor the zebras.
  3. Neither Lani's nor Naomi's balloon was either the one with hearts or the one with stripes. The balloon with stripes wasn't Mario's.
  4. The one whose favorite animals are the zebras, who isn't the one who received the balloon with swirls, was fourth in line. The one who received the balloon with polka dots likes the lions the most. Johan isn't the one whose favorite animals are the giraffes.
