In hindsight I'm not sure I answered the Anne question correctly. Is everyone either married or unmarried or do divorced and widowed people count as neither? This is not obvious to me (I am not a native speaker of English).
Everyone is either married or unmarried. (At least for the purposes of a logic puzzle like this.)
Not so fast. If your definitions of "married" v. "unmarried" are non-binary -- that is, if you consider "widowed" or "divorced" or "handfasted" to be categories of "other", then you're going to "get the puzzle wrong".
If, on the other hand, it were a more definitionally binary question -- "wearing a wedding ring" for example -- that would be another story. Though I suspect it would be 'gotten wrong' roughly as frequently, since such views of "married"/"unmarried" are likely unconventional.
