CASE ZERO
Case 058

Who is guilty?

Exactly one suspect is guilty. The guilty suspect lies. Every innocent suspect tells the truth.

Ava: “Eli is innocent.”
Eli: “Neither Ava nor Nora is guilty.”
Nora: “The guilty person is one of Eli, Nora or Miles.”
Miles: “Neither Ava nor Miles is guilty.”
Zoe: “The guilty person is either Ava or Miles.”
Random case
Solution: Miles is guilty. Testing each possible culprit leaves this as the only assignment where the culprit's statement is false and all four innocent statements are true.
