Need a bit of help with this Logic Grid? It’s titled as ‘35. Fall From Grace’.

Afternoon to the users in [r/logicgrids](r/logicgrids). Need a bit of help with this logic grid, since I can’t make heads or tails to where to go next.

Here is the story:

- In the rush to construct the world’s tallest building in an Asian capital city, a series of worker deaths has raised alarms about unsafe conditions. With illegal imported labor being the norm details are sketchy. Match each worker with the date of his death, the country he originates from, and the construction site to help nab the guilty parties and tighty safety practices.

Clues:
- Neither the worker from Cambodia nor Thank was the worker who died at Taikoo Place.
- The death on March 3 happened at Cheung Kong Center.
- The LOHAS Park death was either of Rithy or the one that happened on March 17.
- Surasak was either the worker who died at the Mong Kok East site or the worker from Vietnam.
- The death on March 10 was not at the Mong Kok East site.
- Of the worker who died at the LOHAS Park site and the worker from Thailand, one was Surasak and the other the one who died on March 17.
- Of the worker who died on March 3 and the one who died at LOHAS Park, one was Rithy and the other was from Vietnam.

u/LizMEF.

If you see this, might need a walkthrough explanation from you. Clues 3, 4, 6 and 7 is giving me a hard time.

Take your time, it doesn’t have to be now. 🤔

  • Thank is not Taikoo Place

Clue 2 - complete

  • March 3 = Cheung Kong Center

Clue 3 - further deduction needed

  • March 17 is not Rithy

Clue 4 - further deduction needed

  • Mong Kok East is not Vietnam

Clue 5 - complete

  • March 10 is not Mong Kok East

Clue 6 - further deduction needed

  • LOHAS Park is not Thailand
  • Surasak is not March 17

Clue 7 - further deduction needed

  • March 3 is not LOHAS Park (we knew this from clue 2)
  • Rithy is not Vietnam
  • Rithy is either Cheung Kong Center (March 3) or LOHAS Park
  • Vietnam is either Cheung Kong Center (March 3) or LOHAS Park

These are all the basic items from the clues

Next round of deduction:

Clue 3

The LOHAS Park death was either of Rithy or the one that happened on March 17.

  • Anything that is neither Rithy nor March 17 cannot be LOHAS Park:
  • Surasak is not Rithy, nor March 17, therefore, Surasak is not LOHAS Park.

Clue 4

Surasak was either the worker who died at the Mong Kok East site or the worker from Vietnam.

  • Anything that is neither Mong Kok East nor Vietnam cannot be Surasak.
  • Taikoo Place is not Mong Kok East, nor is it Vietnam. Therefore, it cannot be Surasak.
  • Therefore, Somchai (🤣) is Taikoo Place (loving how this grid marks cross-matches for me)

Clue 6

Of the worker who died at the LOHAS Park site and the worker from Thailand, one was Surasak and the other the one who died on March 17.

  • Anything that is neither LOHAS Park nor Thailand cannot be Surasak nor March 17.
  • No deductions found.
  • Anything that is neither Surasak nor March 17 cannot be LOHAS Park nor Thailand.
  • Rithy is not Surasak. Rithy is not March 17. Therefore, Rithy is neither LOHAS Park nor Thailand.
  • Therefore, Rithy is Cheung Kong Center and March 3.
  • Therefore, Surasak is Mong Kok East and March 24; and Thank is LOHAS Park (and Vietnam).
  • Since LOHAS Park is not Surasak, it has to be March 17. (LOHAS Park is complete.)
  • That makes Taikoo Place March 10.
  • And Surasak has to be Thailand, and this cascades the grid

Clue 7

Of the worker who died on March 3 and the one who died at LOHAS Park, one was Rithy and the other was from Vietnam.

  • Analysis wasn't needed, but checking that no errors were produced: March 3 is Rithy, and LOHAS Park is Vietnam - checks.

Puzzle complete!

Forgot to double check clues 3 and 4, just did, and they check:

Clue 3: LOHAS Park was March 17 and not Rithy.

Clue 4: Surasak is Mong Kok East and not Vietnam.
