CASE ZERO
Case 189

Who is guilty?

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

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