MCQ - 95-729

Art, Dash, Aggie and Phil are taking part in a mystery role-playing game. Each has been assigned a method of committing a murder—poison, a knife, a tire iron or piano wire—and a set of rules regarding their use. The following rules and conditions are in effect:
• The tire iron cannot be used by a woman.
• Art has a broken arm, so he cannot use piano wire or the tire iron.
• Aggie and her husband are the same size and the smallest people in the game.
• For appearances, only the largest person is allowed to use the tire iron.
• Phil is the second largest person in the game.
• Neither Dash nor Aggie can use the poison.
• Neither Phil nor Aggie can use the knife.

Question:

Which contestant has the least direct information provided about him or her?

  1. Phil
  2. Dash
  3. Art
  4. Dash

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Phil and Aggie are each mentioned directly in at least two of the initial conditions, which allows for more deductions to be made concerning them in the role-playing game; Aggie, in fact, is directly mentioned in three conditions, and another condition is about women in the game, of which Aggie is the only one, so yet more information is available. Art and Dash are directly mentioned only once apiece, but in the condition where Art is mentioned, the reader is given a good deal of information, including the statement that Art can’t use two of the possible four weapons. The condition which mentions Dash only states that he can’t use one of the four possible weapons, and that condition is shared with Aggie. Thus, of the game contestants, Dash has the least amount of direct information made available about him, which makes B correct.
