Gigi's Logic Puzzles

Six friends got together one evening and decided to play tiddleywinks. Each of them played a different colour: green, red, orange, blue, purple, and yellow. They all had different scores ranging from 105 to 160. The points are awarded 10, 15, and 25 depending on where the chip landed on the board. There's no score for not hitting the board. They all got 10 chips. The six people were named Amy, Beth, Calvin, Dave, Edmund, and Fiona. Their last names, in alphabetical order are Kennedy, Lincoln, McGuinty, Nichols, Orville, and Patterson. Find each person's full name, the colour of chip they used, the order the played in, and their final score.

4. Dave did not play last, and was not green.
   
5. Two men had the highest and lowest scores.

12. The sum of all the scores is 755.
