Solution We want meat and potatoes! Comment 4 of 4 |
If 1 is True then 3 is True, so 1 is not it.  
    1 is False
    Kyle did not have turkey.

If 3 is True, then Kyle had either turkey or ham, but not turkey, therefore ham.
    From 2, Neal had chicken, but this makes 4 True.  
    3 is False
    Kyle had chicken
2 must be False because we know Kyle had chicken

1,2,3 are all False

If 4 is True, then Neal had ham;
We already know Kyle had chicken;
Grant then had turkey.
