Homework 4 - Problem Solving - Problem 3

Hey Marco,

I had similar issues with the problem and I still haven't completed but can't contribute a bit here.

Logically, being engaged is not being married. So, I treated the second baseman as a bachelor.

You are right; since Ed is a bachelor, he cannot be the pitcher.

I think this statement might be trying to confuse us a bit. Maybe there are, within the team, different subgroups of card-playing buddies and Ed and the outfielders form one subgroup and Pascal, Charles and the pitcher form the second etc....?

Once again, I treated Sung as a married man because technically he is still married. This information is somewhat relevant in the context of this problem because when you are considering solutions, Sung will be part of the married players. I guess they are just twisting the phrase to confuse us!

Hope this helps at least a little! :D
