A question about strategy thinking this logical questions

[some_one]

here is an example for a typical question:
there are three kings
jan,luk,pikard
each one of them has one crown
a large or medium or small
and each crown is one of gold,silver,copper

the copper crown located closely to the right of a small crown.
the golden crown is the large one and its located closely to the left of jan's crown

which of this answers are possible but not necessary?
1.the crown of jan is small
2. the copper crown is the property of luk
3.the copper crown is the medium
4.the silver crown is small

there are 3 places _______,________,________

i have two bits of data which cannot be directly added to one another

small,copper
gold large ,jan

i don't know how to go from the state where i have only two separated bits of data
into a full data arrangement
?

1. the copper crown located closely to the right of a small crown.
2. the golden crown is the large one and its located closely to the left of jan's crown

From 1, we obtain the following necessary conclusions:

a. The small crown is not copper.
b. The copper crown either lies in the middle or to the far right.
c. The small crown either lies in the middle or to the far left.

Now from 2, we obtain

d. The small crown and the medium crown are not gold.
e. The large, golden crown either lies in the middle or far left.

From a and d, we conclude that the small crown is silver, and the medium crown is copper. By 1, the golden crown can not occupy the middle position since the copper crown would not be to the right of the small, silver one. Therefore, by e, the golden crown lies to the far left. By c, follows immediately that the silver crown lies in the middle and the copper to the far right. This means the arrangement is: Gold Silver Copper. By 1, Jan's crown is silver. Therefore we have the configuration ___ - Jan - ___, and Jan's crown is small. Either the configuration Luk - Jan - Picard or Picard - Jan - Luk is possible. Therefore the answer is 2.

 

[Architeuthis Dux]

I would approach this question by first identifying the key information and organizing it in a logical way. From the given information, we know that there are three kings (Jan, Luk, and Pikard) and three types of crowns (gold, silver, and copper). Each king has one crown and each crown is either large, medium, or small. We also have some specific information about the location and ownership of certain crowns.

Based on this information, we can create a grid or table to visualize the data. This will help us see all the possible combinations and identify any patterns or relationships between the data.

| Kings | Crowns |
| ----- | ------ |
| Jan | Gold |
| Luk | Silver |
| Pikard| Copper |

Next, we can use the given information to fill in the blanks and determine which answers are possible but not necessary. For example, we know that the copper crown is located to the right of a small crown, which means it could be either medium or small. Similarly, the golden crown is located to the left of Jan's crown, so it could be either large or medium.

| Kings | Crowns |
| ----- | ------ |
| Jan | Gold |
| Luk | Silver |
| Pikard| Copper || Kings | Crowns |
| ----- | ------ |
| Jan | Gold |
| Luk | Silver |
| Pikard| Copper || Kings | Crowns |
| ----- | ------ |
| Jan | Gold |
| Luk | Silver |
| Pikard| Copper |

From this, we can see that all four options (small crown of Jan, copper crown belonging to Luk, medium copper crown, and small silver crown) are possible but not necessary.

In terms of the two bits of data that cannot be directly added, small and copper, and gold large and Jan, we can use the grid/table to see that small and copper correspond to Pikard, while gold large and Jan correspond to each other. This means that these two bits of data are indirectly related and cannot be combined to form a full data arrangement.

In conclusion, by organizing and visualizing the given data, we can determine all the possible but not necessary answers and see how the two bits of data are related to each other. This approach helps us think logically and strategize in order to solve the problem.
