Puzzling Asked by katipra on May 27, 2021
This is a puzzle from Braingle:
Savannah got distracted when her shuttle arrived at Earth Central Airport. Now she’s at Lost & Found with four other travelers all waiting to retrieve one lost piece of luggage of a different color (black, blue, green, red or yellow.) While filling out their baggage retrieval paperwork, they discovered an amazing coincidence. Each person had the last name of one other person’s nationality and another’s destination country (America, England, France, Panama or Zambia). Nobody had the same last name, nationality or destination country of anyone else in the group. Each person is traveling from his or her country of origin to only one other country. Use the following clues to determine each traveler’s first name, last name (L), nationality (N), destination country (D) and baggage color. Because this is Logic Land, the unlikelihood of the travelers actually sharing the same airport is not of any concern in solving this puzzle.
The answer below is wrong, however I am unable to find the error:
First Name | Last Name | Nationality | Destination | Colour |
---|---|---|---|---|
Savannah | Panama | American | France | Black |
Echo | America | Panama | Zambia | Yellow |
Pierre | England | French | America | Blue |
Juan | Zambia | England | Panama | Green/Red |
Carmelita | France | Zambia | England | Green/Red |
Your solution is wrong in a couple of ways.
Rule #2 says it mentions all five travelers, but your chart shows only three: your Carmelita is the Zambian citizen, and your Ms. Panama has the black bag. Thus in your solution, #2 mentions only Savannah (2x, as Ms. Panama and as black bag owner), Carmelita (2x, as Carmelita and as Zambian), and Juan (going to England).
Also, as pointed out by @M Oehm, Rule #4 precludes Pierre from being French.
The complete solution is this:
