Solving the Trucks Highways and Colors Logic Puzzle
This solution uses logical deduction to determine the highway for truck E based on the given constraints.
Deduction Table
| Truck | Highway | Color |
|---|---|---|
| A | H4 | Orange |
| B | H2 | Green |
| C | H5 | Blue |
| D | H1 | Red |
| E | H3 | Brown |
Step-by-Step Deduction
- Initial Information: Five trucks (A-E), five colors (Blue, Green, Orange, Red, Brown), five highways (H1-H5).
- Direct Assignments & Constraints:
- A is on H4; Color is not Blue or Brown.
- B is Green; Highway is not H3 or H5.
- C is Blue; Highway is not H1.
- D is on H1; Color is not Orange or Brown.
- E's Highway is not H5 or H2.
- Highway Deductions:
- Highways H1 and H4 are assigned to D and A respectively.
- B (Green) cannot be on H3 or H5. Since H1 (D) and H4 (A) are taken, B must be on H2.
- E cannot be on H5 or H2. Since H1 (D) and H4 (A) are taken, and H2 is now taken by B, E's possible highways are H3 or H5. Given E cannot be on H5, the only remaining option for E is H3.
- Color Deductions (for completeness):
- Known colors: Green (B), Blue (C).
- D (H1) is not Orange or Brown. Possible remaining colors: Red, Brown. D must be Red.
- A (H4) is not Blue or Brown. Possible remaining colors: Orange, Brown. Since D is Red, A cannot be Brown. A must be Orange.
- The remaining color is Brown, which belongs to E.
- The remaining highway for C (Blue) is H5.
Conclusion
Based on the deductions, Truck E is running on highway H3.
