Logic Can Be Hard to Parse

You need to match three letters (A, B, and C) to three numbers (1, 2, 3). From the following rules, can you find a solution?

1) If A is not 1, then C is not 3.
2) If B is either 2 or 1, then A is 3.
3) If C is not 2, then A cannot be 3.
4) If C is not 1, then A is not 3.
5) If C is 3, then B is not 1 or 2.
6) If B is 3, then A is not 2.

  1. 3) & 4) --> A is not 3
    + 2) --> B is 3
    + 6) --> A is 1
    --> C is 2

    A=1, B=3, C=2

  3. That's it, alright. A = 1, B = 3, and C = 2.
