D4 · Rose is CRIMINAL
Why this is true
Alice's clue says there are no innocents in the overlap between the people above Zoe and the people who neighbor Peter. That shared group is exactly Maria and Rose, and there are already 0 known innocents in it. So Maria and Rose cannot be innocent, which makes Maria and Rose criminals.

Answer Explanation

4 / 16 steps visible
01 · Step 1

Alice's clue says there are no innocents in the overlap between the people above Zoe and the people who neighbor Peter. That shared group is exactly Maria and Rose, and there are already 0 known innocents in it. So Maria and Rose cannot be innocent, which makes Maria and Rose criminals.

02 · Step 2

Rose’s clue says that row 1 contains exactly two criminals, and those two must be connected. In row 1, Alice is already innocent, so the two criminals have to come from Barnie, Carl, and Donald. For the criminals in that row to be connected, Carl has to be one of them. So Carl must be criminal.

03 · Step 3

Rose’s clue says row 1 has exactly two criminals, and those two must be connected. In row 1, Alice is innocent and Carl is already a criminal, so among the still-relevant people here, only Barnie and Donald can join Carl to satisfy that row-1 restriction. Carl’s clue says an odd number of the shared group B1 Barnie, D1 Donald, and D2 Isaac are innocent. With those two clue limits applying only to Barnie, Donald, and Isaac, Isaac is the one whose status is fixed by them. So Isaac must be criminal.

04 · Step 4

Isaac's clue says Hilda has exactly 3 innocent neighbors, and exactly 2 of those innocents are in row 3. Among Hilda's neighbors in row 3, Maria is already a criminal, so the row 3 part still needs 2 innocents. The only unknown people left there are Kumar and Lisa. So Kumar and Lisa must be innocent.
