Valentines puzzle.

Here is a valentines puzzle where we pair the boys and the girls. Here are the answers.
Ben and Victoria.
Brandon and Jasmine.
Logan and Jessica.
Dylan and Sydney.
I worked these out by the help of Troy.
This is how I worked it out.
I will type it because I can't take I pic of my work.

Working out:

We had to list all the boys names and next to the boys names will be the first letters of the girls names.

Ben      V JE JA S
Brandon   V JE JA S
Logan       V JE JA S
Dylan.     V JE JA S

Then we look on the clues on the pic below.
Clues:
Dylan did not send a card to Jessica
Benjamin sent a card to either Victoria or Jasmine
Victoria did not receive a card from Logan or Brandon
Neither Logan nor Brandon sent a card to Sydney
Brandon would never send a card to Jessica

We had to use the clues to help us.
Since Dylan did not send a card to Jessica we can cross her of Dylan's list.
Dylan V JE JA S
Since Ben sent a card to either Victoria or Jasmine we can cross out Sydney and Jessica of his list.
Ben V JE JA S
Victoria did not receive a card from Logan or Brandon so we can cross Victoria of there list.
Logan V JE JA S
Brandon V JE JA S
Neither Logan nor Brandon sent a card to Sydney. Let's cross her of their list.
Logan V JE JA S
Brandon V JE JA S
Brandon would never send a card to Jessica.
Let's cross her of the list.
Brandon V JE JA S

Dylan V JE JA S
Logan V JE JA S
Brandon V JE JA S

These are our last results. Let's sort them out.
Since all  Dylan is the only one with Sydney not crossed out. So we can cross out Victoria and Jasmine.
Dylan V JE JA S
Now we know that Dylan sent a card to Sydney.
Do the same and then you will get the answer above.
