CASE ZERO
Case 165

Who is guilty?

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

Sofia: “Neither Lily nor Cleo is guilty.”
Max: “Neither Sofia nor Cleo is guilty.”
Lily: “The guilty person is either Sofia or Ezra.”
Ezra: “None of Max, Ezra or Cleo is guilty.”
Cleo: “The guilty person is one of Lily, Ezra or Cleo.”
Random case
Solution: Ezra 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.
