Logic & Puzzles

What you are actually practicing

Three comparisons, four contenders, one winner. Each clue only tells you about two of them, so no single clue contains the answer — you have to chain them.

That chaining is called a transitive relation, and it is the same reasoning used in scheduling, ranking and debugging: if A beats B and B beats C, then A beats C, and you can stop worrying about B.

How the game works

You are shown three comparisons such as A > B and four contenders. Pick the one that nobody beats. A wrong pick reveals the answer immediately.

Easy presents the clues in chain order, so the answer can be read straight off. Medium shuffles them so the chain has to be rebuilt. Hard does the same with less time.

The move worth knowing

Find who is never on the right of an arrow. The winner is the only contender that never appears as the smaller side. You do not need to sort all four — just scan for the one missing from the right-hand column.

Strategies that actually raise your score

Cross out the beaten. Go through the clues and eliminate everyone who loses at least once. Whatever survives is the answer, and three eliminations are faster than building the full ranking.

Start from any clue and follow the arrows. Take one comparison, find where its winner appears in another clue, and continue. A chain always ends at the top.

Watch for the clue that appears once. The contender mentioned in only one comparison is usually either the winner or the loser, which halves the work immediately.

Do not rank everybody. The question asks for one name. Full sorting is three steps; elimination is often two.
