Question:
Do the same (as in Set C) for each of the following:
Some criminal robbed the Russell mansion. Whoever robbed the Russell mansion either had an accomplice among the servants or had to break in. To break in, one would either have to smash the door or pick the lock. Only an expert locksmith could have picked the lock. Had anyone smashed the door, he would have been heard. Nobody was heard. If the criminal who robbed the Russell mansion managed to fool the guard, he must have been a convincing actor. No one could rob the Russell mansion unless he fooled the guard. No criminal could be both an expert locksmith and a convincing actor. Therefore some criminal had an accomplice among the servants. (Cx: x is a criminal; Rx: x robbed the Russell mansion; Sx: x had an accomplice among the servants; Bx: x broke in; Dx: x smashed the door; Px: x picked the lock; Lx: x is an expert locksmith; Hx: x was heard; Fx: x fooled the guard; Ax: x is a convincing actor)
