CASE ZERO
Case 284

Who is guilty?

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

Chloe: “None of Chloe, Esme or Kai is guilty.”
Leo: “Neither Esme nor Nina is guilty.”
Esme: “Esme is innocent.”
Kai: “None of Esme, Kai or Nina is guilty.”
Nina: “The guilty person is either Chloe or Esme.”
Random case
Solution: Chloe 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.
