Book 3: #43 Coffee Shop

[Ting]

I am having a time with this one. I’ve moved on to more difficult puzzles and solve them without a problem. Go back to this one and it’s like my mind glazes over. I’m not sure what isn’t clicking or if there’s an error in one of the clues.

Anyone else struggle with this one?

The clues are OK. Clue #9 will exclude Ira from mocha. Once Ira is known, clue #1 will place Austin. Eventually, you will find that a null intersection (impossible pairing) will pair Austin with the order.

For Clue #9, take note of the Customers that can be paired with $3.70. Those are the only customers that can be paired with mocha and vanilla latte. That's how you find out that Ira cannot be paired with mocha.

Thank you!
