2. Some kahoots are zadohs.
3. All kahoots are pugwigs.
4. Some zingzangs are pugwigs.
5. All zingzangs are zadohs.
6. Some zadohs are kahoots.

Solution Set Theory (spoiler) | Comment 1 of 2
I solved this using a Venn diagram, but I can't draw one one perplexus, so:

Let Zadoh = {1}
Let Pugwigs = {1,2}
Let Kahoots = Zingzangs = {2,3}

This is consistent with our premises, and clearly only statement (4) is true.
