Everything you need to solve the problem is within these paragraphs. My professor gave us the problem just like this so you have exactly what I had to work with.

A music festival was held last week for 4 days, with 1 show each night at a different time between 8:30 and 8:50. Each of the 4 performers played their favorite instruments for 1 night only.

Ted did not play the violin. The Thursday show started at 8:30, but Brett did not perform. Jason, who doesn't play the flute, starred in a time slot that was 5 minutes later than the person who played the piano. The Sunday show featured a flute. The 8:40 show was not the Friday show. Brett did not play the Saturday show. Dan played on Friday, but did not play the piano. The 8:50 show featured a guitar.

Who played what and when?
