Puzzle 405 


At last week's Girl Guide's picnic, four girls were tucking into their packed lunches. Jane had muffins but Denise didn't have orange juice. The girl who had blackcurrant juice also had scones and Frankie had blueberry juice. The girl who had cake also had strawberry juice, whereas Alice didn't have the strawberry juice nor toast. Can you work out who had which drink and which dessert?
