Media Company Puzzle Solution: Finding Who Likes Brown
This is a logic puzzle involving eight people working at a media company with different designations and liking different colors. The designations are ranked by experience, from Technical writer (least experienced) to Chief Media Officer (most experienced).
The designations in increasing order of experience are:
- Technical writer
- Social Media Specialist (SMS)
- Reporter
- Chief Media Executive (CME)
- Assistant Media Manager (AMM)
- General Media Manager (GMM)
- Creative Director
- Chief Media Officer (CMO)
Let's break down the clues to determine the designation and color for each person.
- F works as a General Media Manager (GMM), which is rank 6.
- F is less experienced than C. C likes Violet. This means C is rank 7 (Creative Director) or 8 (CMO).
- G works as a Reporter, which is rank 3. G neither likes Pink nor Red.
- The person who likes Black color works as a Technical writer (rank 1).
- B is more experienced than G (Rank 3) but less experienced than F (Rank 6). The ranks between 3 and 6 are 4 (CME) and 5 (AMM). So, B is either a CME or an AMM.
- A is more experienced than B but less experienced than C. Since C is rank 7 or 8, and A is between B and C, B must be rank 4 (CME) and A must be rank 5 (AMM). If B were rank 5, A couldn't be more experienced than B and less experienced than C (rank >= 7).
- So, B is Chief Media Executive (Rank 4) and A is Assistant Media Manager (Rank 5).
- We have ranks: G (3), B (4), A (5), F (6). C is rank 7 or 8.
- H doesn't work as a Social Media Specialist (Rank 2) but likes Blue color. H is not the most experienced person, so H is not CMO (Rank 8). Given C is rank 7 or 8, and C is more experienced than F (Rank 6), C must be rank 8 (CMO). C likes Violet.
- Since C is CMO (Rank 8), H is not rank 2 or 8. H likes Blue. The only remaining rank > F (Rank 6) other than C (Rank 8) is 7 (Creative Director). So, H is Creative Director (Rank 7) and likes Blue.
Current status of ranks and people:
- Rank 3: G (Reporter)
- Rank 4: B (CME)
- Rank 5: A (AMM)
- Rank 6: F (GMM)
- Rank 7: H (Creative Director), likes Blue
- Rank 8: C (CMO), likes Violet
Remaining ranks: 1 (Technical writer) and 2 (SMS). Remaining people: D and E.
- The person who likes Black color works as a Technical writer (Rank 1).
- E either likes Green or Pink color.
- If E is the Technical writer, E likes Black. But E likes Green or Pink. So E cannot be the Technical writer.
- Therefore, D must be the Technical writer (Rank 1) and likes Black. E must be the Social Media Specialist (SMS, Rank 2).
Current status of ranks, people, and some colors:
- Rank 1: D (Technical writer), likes Black
- Rank 2: E (SMS)
- Rank 3: G (Reporter), neither Pink nor Red
- Rank 4: B (CME)
- Rank 5: A (AMM), neither Black nor Red
- Rank 6: F (GMM)
- Rank 7: H (Creative Director), likes Blue
- Rank 8: C (CMO), likes Violet
Now let's determine the remaining colors.
- E (SMS, Rank 2) likes Green or Pink. The one who works as a Social Media Specialist (E) doesn't like Pink. So E must like Green.
- A (AMM, Rank 5) likes neither Black nor Red. Black is taken by D. Red is not yet assigned. So A must like Pink or Indigo or Brown.
- G (Reporter, Rank 3) neither likes Pink nor Red. G must like Indigo or Brown.
- Remaining colors: Red, Pink, Indigo, Brown.
- The one who likes Brown color is more experienced than A (AMM, Rank 5). This person must be rank 6 (F), 7 (H), or 8 (C).
- We know H likes Blue and C likes Violet. So the person who likes Brown must be F (GMM, Rank 6).
So, F likes Brown color.
Let's complete the assignments:
- F (GMM, Rank 6) likes Brown.
- Remaining colors: Red, Pink, Indigo.
- Remaining people without colors: G (Reporter), B (CME), A (AMM).
- G (Reporter, Rank 3) neither likes Pink nor Red. Remaining color for G is Indigo. So G likes Indigo.
- A (AMM, Rank 5) likes neither Black nor Red. Black is taken. Red is not taken. A cannot like Red. Remaining color for A is Pink. So A likes Pink.
- B (CME, Rank 4) gets the last remaining color, Red.
Final mapping of Person, Designation, and Color:
| Rank | Designation | Person | Color |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Technical writer | D | Black |
| 2 | Social Media Specialist (SMS) | E | Green |
| 3 | Reporter | G | Indigo |
| 4 | Chief Media Executive (CME) | B | Red |
| 5 | Assistant Media Manager (AMM) | A | Pink |
| 6 | General Media Manager (GMM) | F | Brown |
| 7 | Creative Director | H | Blue |
| 8 | Chief Media Officer (CMO) | C | Violet |
Based on the final mapping, F likes Brown color.
The question asks who among the following likes Brown color. According to our deductions, F likes Brown.
