For each question in this game, we have to figure out whether we're dealing with
Jack: __ __ __
Over: __
or
Jack: __
Over: __ __
It looks like that means there are either 4 colors or 3 colors, but since one of the colors always overlaps (rule 3), there are really 3 colors or 2 colors being used.
Since Q2 says there are two colors being used, we have to be in this scenario:
Jack: __
Over: __ __
We know that they have to share a color, and the possible colors they share are red or violet.
So we could start each of those two scenarios:
Jack: R
Over: R __
Jack: V
Over: V __
Who could be the leftover color in each scenario? Whichever two are leftover of the overall's R, V, Y options. So, we'd be looking at this:
Jack: R
Over: R V/Y
Jack: V
Over: V R/Y
ANSWERS
(A) YES! This must be false, since the jacket is either solid R or solid V.
(B) This is possible in the first scenario
(C) This is possible in either scenario
(D) This is possible in the first scenario
(E) This is possible in the second scenario
