The question
Logic check: All chefs are early risers. Some early risers are travelers. Which statement must be true?
Correct answer
Answer: Some travelers are early risers.
Explanation
Given: All chefs are early risers. Some early risers are travelers.
Key idea: “Some early risers are travelers” means there exists at least one person who is both early risers and travelers — so it is automatically true that some travelers are early risers.
Nothing guarantees that any chefs are travelers, so option 1 is not required.
Common traps
- Picking the first pattern you see without checking it against all rows/columns.
- Ignoring the simplest rule (counts, rotations, alternations) and jumping to a complex story.
- Not testing your rule on the middle row/column (where many puzzles “break” bad rules).
