Logic Puzzle for you guys to nef on

Marie and her sister Phyllis me up for lunch after shopping seperately for their brothers birthday. Each bought 3 different items (tie, suspenders, shirt, shoes, raincoat, cufflinks) and no two items were purchased at the same store (stores: Chic, debonair, genteel, jaunty, suave, urbane). Each store was reached by a different bus (B-41, L-15, M-11,M-42, S-25, or S-61). use the clues to figure out which lady bought which item at what store, and what bus line they used to get there.

1. Phyllis bought the dress shoes at Chic

2. One woman took the S-61 Bus at soem point before she took the bus to Genteel (which isn't the M42).

3. Marie's first stop was not Debonair.

4. Jaunty was the third store that Phyllis visited

5. The Woman who rode the M11 bus took no more than one of the buses on the S line.

6. One woman took the B-41 bus to Urbane.

7. Marie's first bus was either the L-15 or the S-25

8. One woman made consecutive stops at Suave and the shop where she bought the suspenders, in some order.

9. One sister bought the raincoat immediately before purchasing the cuff links.

10. The two buses on the m line are the first bus that Phyllis rode and the bus a woman took to buy the dres sshirt, in some order.


It helps to make a chart. Have at it ATOT. I have the solution and explanation if no one can get it.


edited for 6th bus line, though you could've found it in the clues

Nef was an old spammer around here a long time ago. From then of, "neffing" is essentially "spamming."

This is supposed to be done completely in one's head.

Where's the challenge in that?! It's supposed to be a logic puzzle, not something that should be reduced to the level of difficulty of a word search. Bah. I cast another vote for "do it in your head."
 
it's in a logic puzzle book, they actually have a chart space to fill in everythign, they're all supposed to be done on paper. This one would be about impossible to do in your head

really, i did go there but didn't see it listed and it couldn't find it.
 
You'd have to be a true genius to do this in your head. The ten basic rules result in perhaps 200 recursive logical implications. This is no simple "word search" by any means. Graphing it out, it took me over two hours to do while at work (perhaps 30 minutes actual time)...

in the OP (B-41, L-15, M-11,M-42, S-25, or S-61)... looks like 6 lines to me?
