Question

What is the favourite colour of the Lawyer ?

• A. Blue
• B. Red
• C. White
• D. Green
• E. Black

Hint:

When a clue says ``either X or Y'', and Y is already assigned to another entity, then X must be true. Use such forced deductions early in the puzzle.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Concept Analysis:
Using the deductions from the passage, identify the Lawyer's colour.

Step 2: Solution Approach:
The friend who likes Blue is either a Lawyer or cleans on Saturday. The Saturday person is the Hotelier, not the Lawyer. Therefore, the Blue-liker must be the Lawyer (since if Blue-liker cleaned on Saturday, they would be Hotelier, not Lawyer -- contradiction if the Lawyer doesn't clean on Saturday). Hence, the Lawyer likes Blue.

Step 3: Conclusion:
The Lawyer's favourite colour is Blue.
