Game Setup
This is a strange game. I haven’t seen many like it.
There are five habitats for seven reptiles. Since no habitat has more than two, that means we’re going to have at least two habitats with two reptiles. The other habitats will have one reptile.
We can also have empty habitats: the rules don’t say that that we can’t. So we could have three habitats with two, one habitat with one reptile, and one empty habitat (for example).
Four of the reptiles are snakes and three are lizards. Five are female and two are male. It’s worth writing this down, like this:
You can draw this game vertically or horizontally. I chose vertically, but it doesn’t really matter. This is a non-standard game.
There are only two rules that don’t depend on numbers. You can’t put a snake and a lizard together and you can’t put a female snake by a male lizard.
This lets us make some deductions about numbers. We have three lizards, an odd number. You can’t combine lizards with snakes. So you either have three lizards alone, or two lizards together and the last lizard alone. There will always be at least one lizard alone. This lets us answer Question 9.
