Puzzle Pack #2 Puzzle 30 Answer

Noah’s clue says that Zoe is one of the two criminals in column D. Since everyone tells the truth, that statement directly fixes Zoe’s identity. Therefore, we can determine that D5 is CRIMINAL.

Row 5 contains Vince at A5, Wanda at B5, Xavi at C5, and Zoe at D5, and the clue says there are exactly 2 innocents in that row. The corners in row 5 are A5 and D5. Since Zoe at D5 is already known to be a criminal, the only way for exactly 1 of the 2 innocents in row 5 to be in a corner is for the other corner, A5, to be one of those innocents. Therefore, we can determine that A5 is INNOCENT.

The cops are Clyde at B1 and Paul at C4. For a cop to have an innocent directly above them, there must be someone immediately above that cop, so Clyde at the top row cannot count at all. That means Vince's clue can only be satisfied if Paul is the one cop with an innocent directly above him, and the person directly above Paul is Lisa at C3. Therefore, we can determine that C3 Lisa is INNOCENT.

Lisa at C3 is an innocent, so her clue is true. She says there is only one innocent pilot, and Lisa herself is a pilot who is already known to be innocent. That means every other pilot must be criminal, including Xavi at C5. Therefore, we can determine that C5 is CRIMINAL.
