Sports Deduction Steps
This logic puzzle requires systematic elimination based on the provided clues about boys and their favorite sports.
Clues Analysis
We are given the following key pieces of information:
- Boys involved: A, B, C, D, E, F, H, I.
- Sports involved: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W.
- Each boy likes exactly one favorite sport.
- Direct Information: D's favorite sport is S.
- Restrictions for D and F: Neither likes P nor W.
- Restrictions for A, C, E, H: None like U, P, W, or S.
- Restriction for B: Does not like W.
Step-by-Step Deduction
Let's trace the possibilities to find I's favorite sport:
- Assignment for S: Since D's favorite sport is S, no other boy can like S.
- Analyzing Sport W:
- D does not like W (given).
- F does not like W (given).
- A does not like W (given).
- C does not like W (given).
- E does not like W (given).
- H does not like W (given).
- B does not like W (given).
- The only boy left who could possibly have W as a favorite sport is I.
I's Favorite Sport Identified
From the analysis above, we can definitively conclude that sport W is the favorite sport of boy I, as all other boys are explicitly excluded from liking it.
Therefore, the favorite sport of I is W.
