John, Dan, Karen, and Beth went to a costume ball. They chose to go as Anthony and Cleopatra, and Romeo and Juliet. John got the costumes for Romeo and Cleopatra, but not his own costume. Dan saw the costumes for Juliet and himself. Karen went as Anthony. Beth drove two of her friends, who were dressed as Anthony and Cleopatra, to the ball. What costume did John wear?
John not Romeo or Cleopatra
John could be Anthony or Juliet
Dan not Juliet
Karen is Anthony
Beth not Anthony or Cleopatra
Beth could be Romeo or Juliet
If Karen is Anthony and John is not Romeo and not Cleopatra...
John must be Juliet.
John --> Juliet
Karen --> Anthony
Beth --> Romeo
which leaves Dan --> Cleopatra
