"At Lunch time four friends, Anna, Pat, Petra, and Bonnie, are each eating a different type of fruit. The Fruits are an apple, a pear, a peach, and a banana. None of the girls is eating a type of fruit that begins with the same initial as her name, If Anna doesnt like pears, who is eating what?"

Anna Eats Banana
Petra Eats Apple
Bonnie Eats Peach
Pat Eats Pear



These names listed above are 4 friends. but 3 are fucking Girls. Pat is a fuckin Guy. so the rules of who eats what doesnt apply to Pat the guy.

I win, I hope.. 3am post FTW?...........thank me if Im right.
Wrong, you actually introduced an additional degree of freedom, so 4 solutions total I think...

ie:
Anna eats Peach
Petra eats Apple
Bonnie eats Pear
Pat eats Banana

and

Anna eats Peach
Petra eats Banana
Bonnie eats Apple
Pat eats Pear

are two of the few solutions that are different from the one you proposed.

Why not? It says "None of the girls is eating a type of fruit that begins with the same initial as her name". But we're assuming Pat is a guy in this case.

it was also said that "At Lunch time four friends"

we also assume guys and girls can't be friends... only soulmate, lovers or sex buddies

its really confusing. if it was less complicated, the answer could be found more easily
