Replay Reasoning

Step 1 of 4
Step Result
C3 · Logan is INNOCENT
Why this is true
Xavi is at C5, so the people above Xavi in column C are Celia at C1, Gus at C2, Logan at C3, and Phil at C4. Zoe’s clue says Logan is one of the 2 innocents above Xavi, which directly includes Logan among those innocents. Therefore, we can determine that C3, Logan, is INNOCENT.
Based on this clue:
"Logan is one of 2 innocents above Xavi" Zoe (D5)

Answer Explanation

4 / 15 steps visible
Step 1

Xavi is at C5, so the people above Xavi in column C are Celia at C1, Gus at C2, Logan at C3, and Phil at C4. Zoe’s clue says Logan is one of the 2 innocents above Xavi, which directly includes Logan among those innocents. Therefore, we can determine that C3, Logan, is INNOCENT.

Step 2

Logan says row 5 is the only row with exactly one innocent, so row 5 must contain one and only one innocent person. In row 5, Zoe at D5 is already known to be innocent. That means Zoe is the single innocent in that row, so the other three people there cannot be innocent. Therefore, we can determine that C5 is CRIMINAL, A5 is CRIMINAL, and B5 is CRIMINAL.

Step 3

Above Xavi in column C are Celia at C1, Gus at C2, Logan at C3, and Phil at C4. Oscar is at B4, so the people above Xavi who are neighbors of Oscar are Logan at C3 and Phil at C4, because those are the only ones above C5 next to B4. Xavi says exactly 2 of those people are innocents, and Logan is already known to be innocent, so Phil must be the other innocent. Therefore, we can determine that C4 is INNOCENT.

Step 4

Xavi is at C5, so the people above him are Celia at C1, Gus at C2, Logan at C3, and Phil at C4. Zoe’s clue says Logan is one of exactly 2 innocents above Xavi. Since Logan is already known to be innocent, there must be exactly one other innocent among those four people above Xavi. Phil is also already known to be innocent, so Logan and Phil are the two innocents above Xavi, which leaves Celia and Gus not innocent. Therefore, we can determine that C1 is CRIMINAL and C2 is CRIMINAL.
