Occupations of Brianna, Jessie, Mario, and Jack

To solve the problem, we will analyze the clues systematically and deduce the occupations of Brianna, Jessie, Mario, and Jack.

Given Clues

1. A: Brianna gets home from work after the banker but before the dentist.
2. B: Jessie, who is the last to go home from work, is not the editor.
3. C: The dentist and Jessie leave for work at the same time.
4. D: The banker lives next door to Jack.

Analysis of Clues

Step 1: Establishing Relationships from the Clues

From Clue A, we know the sequence of Brianna's arrival:

• Banker → Brianna → Dentist
  This means Brianna is neither the banker nor the dentist.

From Clue B, Jessie is the last to leave work and cannot be the editor. Thus, the only possible occupations for Jessie are Chef or Dentist.

Step 2: Determining Jessie's Occupation

Now, using Clue C, since the dentist leaves at the same time as Jessie, Jessie cannot be the dentist, which means:

• Jessie is the Chef.

Step 3: Updating Known Occupations

With Jessie as the Chef, the remaining occupations are Editor, Dentist, and Banker. From Clue A, since Brianna came home after the banker, it confirms that Brianna cannot be the banker. Hence, we can deduce that:

• Brianna must be the Editor.
  Now our setup looks like this:
• Brianna – Editor
• Jessie – Chef
• Remaining occupations for Mario and Jack are Dentist and Banker.

Step 4: Establishing Jack and the Banker

From Clue D, the Banker lives next door to Jack. Since Brianna is the Editor and Jessie is the Chef, one of the remaining two (Mario or Jack) must be the Banker. Therefore, the other one must be the Dentist.

Step 5: Finalizing Occupations

Now, we can summarize what we have:

1. Brianna - Editor
2. Jessie - Chef
3. One of Mario/Jack - Banker
4. The other of Mario/Jack - Dentist

To determine who between Mario and Jack is the Banker and who is the Dentist, we focus on the information left considering Clue C states that Jesse leaves for work at the same time as the Dentist, meaning that Jack cannot be the Dentist because he would not be "next door" to the Banker. Therefore, Mario must be the Dentist and Jack the Banker.

Now we have:

Conclusion

1. Brianna – Editor
2. Jessie – Chef
3. Mario – Dentist
4. Jack – Banker

This analysis confirms that we have deduced the correct occupations based on the clues provided. Each friend's occupation is now clear.
