Four boys in the class sent a cookie box to a different girl. Henry didn’t send one to Annabel, but Billy sent one to either Mary or Deborah. Mary didn’t get a cookie box from John or Greg. Neither John nor Greg sent a cookie box to Harriet. Greg would NEVER send a cookie box to Annabel! Who sent a the cookie box to Annabel?
