CASE ZERO
Case 163

Who is guilty?

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

Ruby: “The guilty person is one of Theo, Finn or Jade.”
Theo: “Neither Theo nor Jade is guilty.”
Mila: “The guilty person is either Theo or Finn.”
Finn: “The guilty person is either Theo or Jade.”
Jade: “Neither Ruby nor Finn is guilty.”
Random case
Solution: Theo 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.
