Question 814553: Grandmother Brown is going to host a huge family gathering on Thanksgiving Day. She has eight grandchildren, and this year she has decided that they will all help with serving or cleaning up. The kitchen is small, so she must select four of the children to wash dishes after the meal. The others will help with serving during the meal.
The selection is not an easy process! Can you help Grandmother select a dish washing crew of four?
1) Travis will work with anybody.
2) Michael won't wash dishes unless Vinolia helps too.
3) Vinolia won't wash dishes with Jen.
4) Nicholas won't work without Funmi.
5) Jen will work with anybody.
6)a) Clark won't wash dishes with Nicholas unless Stephen helps too.
b) Clark won't work with Vinolia unless Nicholas also helps.
7)a) Stephen won't work with both Michael and Vinolia.
b) Stephen won't wash dishes with either Travis or Jen.
8)a) Funmi won't help unless either Michael or Clark wash dishes.
b) Funmi won't work with Vinolia unless Stephen works too.
c) Funmi won't work with both Travis and Jen.
What are the names of the four grandchildren who will be washing dishes? Give a full explanation of how you made your selection.

Vinolia Jen Funni Nicholas.
I don't care who they think they won't work with.

I'll take them out to the shed if they complain.
