CASE ZERO
Case 329

Who is guilty?

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

Maya: “Neither Maya nor Iris is guilty.”
Noah: “Owen is guilty.”
Lena: “Iris is innocent.”
Owen: “None of Noah, Owen or Iris is guilty.”
Iris: “Neither Noah nor Lena is guilty.”
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.
