Game Setup
This game is a mix of grouping and sequencing. There are six people. They play either tennis or golf. They are ranked in order within the sports.
The first three rules are simple. Lina plays golf, Oliver plays tennis and Lina is always the highest ranked golfer. (The line means that Lina is ahead of whoever else plays golf)
Maricella is the determining factor. If she plays golf then Paulo and Shigeru play golf. This is their order:
If Maricella plays tennis then Shigeru plays tennis instead. This is the order:
There is also a rule about Paulo. If he plays tennis then Kim plays tennis. We also know that Maricella plays tennis. Why? If Maricella played golf, Paulo would have to play golf, not tennis.
If Paulo plays tennis, we know everything. Five people play tennis, in the order below. Lina plays golf.
If Maricella plays golf, we know that Lina, Maricella, Paulo and Shigeru play golf, Oliver plays tennis and Kim can play either sport. So if we know where Maricella or Paulo go, almost everything else is decided.
