um can anyone answer this question? It's from my load of Winter Break homework, and i think it's a trick question but im not sure

Question:Ryan has seven brothers and sisters. One of his sibling's name is Alicia. Another of his sisters play the violin. Two of his siblings are identical twins and are boys, but one of them has a freckle on his face. They do not play the same instrument. Karen does not play either the cello or piano. One of his brothers play the piano, and his name is not Gregory. Two more of his siblings play it too, and they are both girls. One of his sisters play the cello. Conner has a freckle and a twin brother. His twin brother plays the cello. HIs twin brother's name is not Dan. One of the girls who play piano is named Janet. Conner plays the piano, same as Annie.

I know it's kind of annoying and complicated, but if anyone can figure out the answer, please leave a reply. thanks

whoa this is long... im not gonna solve it, but i can give you tips Very Happy. first, right down all then names mentioned in the question. second, right down all the instruments mentioned. third, make a tabel where all the people's name is going down and the instruments' names are going across. fourth, read through the question again, and make X's in the row of the person's name in the instrument that they cant have. eventually, u will have it all done Smile. hope this helps
