F - President
E - Vice president
B - Secretary
C - Treasurer

Let F be the President, and complying with his conditions, E the Vice President.

B does not wish to be either the President, Vice-President, so he is most likely to be the Secretary or Treasurer. Let him be the Secretary.

Besides it will not violate E's condition who would not work if both A and B work, but can work with either of them.

D cannot be appointed as Treasurer, with in the work force. Hence the last option is C, whose conditions are compatible with the elected work force.

A hen, a dog, and a cat are stolen. Three suspects are arrested named Robin, Steve, and Tim. The police are sure that all of them stole one of the animals but they don’t know who stole which animal.

Sherlock Holmes is appointed to identify and is provided with the following statements from the investigation.

Robin – Tim stole the hen
Steve – Tim stole the dog
Tim – Both Robin and Steve are lying. I neither stole a hen nor a dog.

Sherlock is somehow able to deduce that the man who stole the cat is telling a lie and the man who stole the hen is telling truth.

Can you help him find out who stole which animal?
