This week's quiz is a logic puzzle.

Space Cadets

With the recommendations of their instructors, six recent graduates of the prestigious Lune Space Academy have decided to continue their studies outside of the economy. Each cadet has chosen a different field in which to specialize, and each is going to a different planet (Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Pluto, Saturn, or Venus) to study a chosen field. After signing up for the space shuttle voyage, each cadet was given a uniform with a different interplanetary emblem. From the information provided, determine the field each cadet has chosen, the planet on which each cadet will continue studies, and the emblem on each one's uniform.

1. Emily isn't going to Venus, isn't studying astronautics, and isn't wearing the comet emblem. Corey didn't select transcendent biology (which wasn't chosen by the cadet wearing the rocket emblem). Saturn isn't the planet Wesley chose.

2. The cadet travelling to Pluto (who isn't Ashley) isn't the one whose uniform is adorned with the spaceman. Corey isn't the cadet studying molecular transmutation. Zachary, who isn't specializing in transcendent biology, isn't traveling to Mercury. The hyperspatial-travel student isn't the one going to Mars (which isn't the planet chosen by the cadet wearing the comet emblem) or Jupiter.

3. Ashley isn't headed for Saturn. Zachary, who isn't studying molecular transmutation, doesn't wear the comet emblem. Jamie (who doesn't wear the moon emblem) isn't the one going to Pluto (who wears neither the rocket nor the star emblem).

4. The transcendent biology cadet, who isn't Wesley, doesn't wear the spaceman emblem. The gravitational-manipulation cadet doesn't wear either the moon emblem (which isn't worn by the one traveling to Jupiter) or the star emblem. Neither the person studying astronautics (who isn't going to Saturn) nor the transcendent biology cadet is the one who wears the asteroid emblem. Corey isn't studying astronautics (which isn't the field of the one going to Jupiter).

5. The one wearing the comet (which isn't the emblem on Wesley's uniform) isn't studying on either Jupiter or Saturn. The one who wears the moon emblem, who isn't going to Pluto, isn't the cadet who'll specialize in hyperspatial-travel (which isn't Corey's field). The one who wears the rocket, who isn't studying astronautics, isn't the one traveling to Mercury. Jamie (whose uniform doesn't feature the star) isn't the one studying ultraphysics and isn't going to Venus (which isn't the destination of the cadet that wears the rocket).

6. Jamie, who is neither the one who wears the spaceman emblem nor the one traveling to Mercury, isn't the one studying molecular transmutation (who isn't going to Jupiter). The gravitational-manipulation cadet doesn't wear the rocket emblem. Emily, who isn't the one who wears the star emblem, isn't going to Saturn (which isn't the destination of the cadet studying hyperspatial-travel).
