Puzzle Pack #1 Puzzle 38 Answer

Kyle’s clue says Rob is one of two or more innocents in column C. Kyle himself is already known to be innocent, and Rob is also in column C. So for Rob to be one of the innocents making that clue true, Rob has to be innocent. That makes Rob innocent.

Rob’s clue says that Xia is one of his five innocent neighbors. That directly identifies Xia as innocent. So Xia must be innocent.

Xia’s clue says both criminals in row 1 are Flora’s neighbors. In row 1, the people who are Flora’s neighbors are Amy, Brian, and Chris, and the only person in row 1 who is not Flora’s neighbor is Donna. So Donna cannot be one of the two criminals in row 1. That makes Donna innocent.

Xia says both criminals in row 1 are Flora's neighbors. In row 1, the people who are Flora's neighbors are Amy, Brian, and Chris, while Donna is the only row 1 person who is not Flora's neighbor and she is already innocent. That means the two criminals in row 1 have to come from Amy, Brian, and Chris, and with Donna already taking the only innocent spot identified in that row by these facts, Amy is one of those row 1 criminals. So Amy must be criminal.
