Pongos Quangos Ringos!

-

There are three islands close together near Australia: 

Azure, Bounty, and Coconut 

On the three islands live three types of guinea pig: 

Pongos, Quangos and Ringos 

The following are all true facts well known to sailors in this part of the world. 

1. There are no Pongos on Bounty Island. 

2. All the guinea pigs on Coconut Island are Ringos. 

3. Pongos and Quangos are the only type of guinea pig on Azure Island. 

A shipwrecked sailor lands on one of the islands. She sees a guinea pig which she thinks is a Ringo


1) Which island does the sailor think she is definitely not on?

Later on she sees another guinea pig. She is not sure what it is but it is certainly different from the first kind of guinea pig


2) Which island is she definitely not on?

    1) She thinks she is definitely not on Azure Island since there are no Ringos there.

    2) She is definitely not on Coconut island because there is only 1 guinea pig there
