3/15 - 3/21 POTW

Five wizards Aldric, Brina, Cedric, Daria, and Eamon are guarding five potion bottles, numbered 1 through 5. Each bottle has a unique color: red, blue, green, yellow, and purple. Each wizard knows exactly two bottles, and makes a statement about them: Aldric knows bottles 1 and 3; he says: "Bottle 1 is not green or red, and bottle 3 is not red or blue." Brina knows bottles 2 and 4; she says: "Bottle 2 is not red, blue, or purple." Cedric knows bottles 3 and 5; he says: "Bottle 3 is not purple, and bottle 5 is not red." Daria knows bottles 1 and 5; she says: "Bottle 5 is not blue or green." Eamon knows bottles 2 and 3; he says: "Bottle 2 is not green." Determine which bottle is green.
