CASE ZERO
Case 273

Who is guilty?

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

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