Shiela can never buy Rock, because anytime she does, Niko picks Jazz, but whenever Niko picks Jazz, Ramon must pick Rock, which can't ever happen because Shiela and Ramon can never both pick Rock. So... It's Niko. Shiela buys Jazz both days, Ramon buys Rock both days, and Niko can buy either one. Technically the puzzle is not fully solvable because we have no guidance on which day Niko buys Jazz & which day he buys Rock. The question asks, "Which one purchased" but to be more clear, should ask, "which one could buy..." Edited July 27, 2008 by Dereck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on a quick evaluation, my answer is Niko. Reason being if Sheila picks rock then both Ramon and Niko would have to pick Jazz, which is in contradiction to Rule 3.

0 Guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Niko. The person has to be able to buy either a jazz or a rock CD. It's not sheila because if she picks rock then ramon and niko will bothhave to pick jazz. not possible. its not ramon because if he picks jazz then sheila will pick rock and therefore nicko will buy jazz. nicko and ramon will both have jazz. not possible. only nicko can buy rock or jazz.
