CASE ZERO
Case 094

Who is guilty?

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

Amira: “Neither Amira nor Jack is guilty.”
Jack: “The guilty person is one of Tess, Hugo or Mae.”
Tess: “The guilty person is one of Amira, Jack or Hugo.”
Hugo: “Hugo is innocent.”
Mae: “The guilty person is one of Jack, Hugo or Mae.”
Random case
Solution: Hugo 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.
