The Cake Disaster
One day, in baking class, 12 students were baking cakes when the fire alarm went off. Everyone exited the building, but when they got back, they found someone had dumped all the sugar into one of the batter-filled bowls. Everyone was puzzled over what to do until Gina had an idea: why not mix the batters together and then separate the contents back in the bowls. Here is what happened in chronological order:
Allie mixed with Tina
Emma mixed with Gina
Kaleb mixed with Daniel
Colt mixed with Emma
Tina mixed with Noah
Mary mixed with Gina
Quinn mixed with Emma
Jacob mixed with Lily
Gina mixed with Noah
Mary mixed with Quinn
Allie mixed with Kaleb
Noah mixed with Colt
Tina mixed with Gina
Daniel mixed with Jacob
Daniel mixed with Noah
Colt mixed with Lily
Allie mixed with Daniel
Tina mixed with Lily
In the end Allie, Colt, Daniel, Emma, Lily, Mary, Noah, Quinn, and Tina had a sweet cake while Gina, Jacob, and Kaleb didn't. Who started with the bowl with sugar?

Answer
Colt.It can't be Gina, Jacob, or Kaleb, they don't have sugar.
It can't be Emma, Daniel, Mary, Lily, Noah, Allie or Tina, because they mixed with the above.
This leaves Colt and Quinn, it can't be Quinn because then only Quinn, Emma, and Mary would have sugar.
