Here is this week's #mathchallenge.

This time, it's a logic puzzle.

Can you solve it?? Post a comment with your response!

Mia, Jake, Carol, Barbara, Ford and Jeff are all going to a costume party. Figure out which person is wearing what costume and when they arrived at the party.

• The person that arrived fourth was wearing bathing suit.
• Barbara was the last to arrive.
• Jake and Mia arrived and stayed together.
• The first person was dressed as a French Maid.
• Superman arrived right before Barbara.
• The Potato Heads were always together at the party.
• Ford was a Surfer Dude.
• The French Maid was not Carol.
• The Vampire arrived after Superman.
