There were four pets. Their names were Kobb, Katherine, Kaycee and Klaire. Each pet had a petpet, and each petpet was fed a chocolate.

The four pet species (in no particular order) were as follows:
Korbat - 2 points
Kiko - 3 points
Kyrii - 5 points
Koi - 7 points

The four petpets (again, in no particular order) were as follows:
Kadoatie - 9 points
Kookith - 11 points
Khonsu - 12 points
Krawk - 13 points

The four chocolates were as follows:
Chocolate Krawk - 15 points
Chocolate Kau - 17 points
Kougra - 18 points
Chocolate Kacheek - 19 points

1. Kobb was a Koi. The Kadoatie did not eat the Chocolate Kau.

2. The Korbat did not have a Kookith.

3. The Kiko's petpet was a Krawk. Kobb's petpet was not a Kadoatie.

4. The Kyrii's petpet ate a Chocolate Kacheek. The Kookith did not eat a Chocolate Kougra.

5. Kaycee's petpet, who was not a Kadoatie, ate the Chocolate Krawk. Klaire's Kookith liked to jump up and down a lot.

6. The Khonsu did not eat the Chocolate Kacheek.

What do you get when you multiply the points for Katherine's species times the points for Katherine's petpet, times the points for Katherine's petpet's chocolate? Please submit ONLY A NUMBER as your answer. (for example, if Katherine was a Koi with a Khonsu who ate a Chocolate Kau, the number of points would be 7 * 12 * 17 = 1428, and you would submit ONLY the number 1428.)

Well, the answer could be found by simple, albeit tedious, deduction...

Using 4 different sets of [progressive] variables might help, (e.g. A, B, C, D; 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.), as with arranging them on the four sides of a square and join them with dotted/normal lines.

Obviously, you can also design a straightforward algorithm to solve it.... [which I believe, would be the easiest way to solve the conundrum.]

Method I used:
I set up a grid similar to the one below and crosses things off as I could. It's kinda slow, but using Excel, it wasn't too bad.

I did it that way too. I love logic problems.
