Pred vyriešením úlohy si najskôr uvedomme niektoré faktory. Vo východiskovom stave máme dva zástupy, každý pozostávajúci zo štyroch rád. Z toho vieme, že Pavol stojí v jednom zástupe a že Janko stojí v ľavom zástupe. Taktiež vieme, že medzi Barčou a Klárou nie je možné, aby stáli v rovnakom zástupe.
Ak poznáme poradie odovzdania správy medzi deťmi, môžeme tento fakt využiť na určenie možných umiestnení detí v zástupoch.

Podľa zadaného poradia odovzdania správy vieme, že Barča odovzdala správu Jankovi, Janko odovzdal správu Liborovi, Libor Kláre, Klára Gabike a Gabika Pavlovi. Musíme teraz preskúmať, v akej časti zástupu mohla daná schéma z odovzdávania správ nastávať.

Môžu existovať nasledujúce prípady:
1) Ak Janko stojí v ľavom zástupe, potom Barča musí stáť vpravo od Janka, aby mohla odovzdať správu. To znamená, že Klára sa musí nachádzať v ľavom zástupe. Z toho vyplýva, že Gabika sa musí nachádzať v pravom zástupe.
2) Ak Janko stojí vpravo, potom musí Barča stáť vľavo od Janka. Z toho vyplýva, že Klára musí stáť vpravo od Barči a Gabika v ľavom zástupe.

Z týchto dvoch prípadov nám vyplýva, že Gabika a Pavol nemôžu mať rovnaké umiestnenie v rade.
Takže správna odpoveď je (D) ktokoľvek z trojice Gabika, Táňa, Radko.
