CASE ZERO
Case 089

Who is guilty?

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

Maya: “Neither Maya nor Noah is guilty.”
Noah: “The guilty person is one of Maya, Noah or Iris.”
Lena: “The guilty person is one of Maya, Lena or Owen.”
Owen: “Owen is innocent.”
Iris: “Neither Owen nor Iris is guilty.”
Random case
Solution: Maya 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.
