LILY'S LOGIC CHALLENGE 3 ANSWERS

From Mrs.D's second assertion we know that A is the stepfather of X (who remains to be identified), who is the stepfather of B.
From her first assertion: D is the stepfather of Y, who is the stepfather of Z, who is the stepfather of E.
From her third assertion: C is the stepfather of R, who is the stepfather of S, who is the stepfather of T, who is the step father of F.
We know that Mrs. D is not C's mother, for she is speaking to her. There is only one solution that fits these facts: A is the stepfather of D, who is the stepfather of B, who is the stepfather of F, who is the stepfather of E, who is the stepfather of C, who is the stepfather of A.
