Analysis

Let's take a look at the two rules.

  1. The owl and hornbill camps are run by rangers of opposite genders.
  2. The elephant and buffalo camps are run by rangers of the same gender.

The program determined the owl camp is run by Colin (mark 539), and the hornbill camp is run by Freda (mark 557), so rule 1 was not needed.

The elephant camp is run by either Ethan or Julia, and the buffalo camp is run by either Delia, Ethan, or Julia. Since there are not two man that can run both camps, the camps must be run by women. So Julia must run the elephant camp, and Delia must run the buffalo camp, which leaves Ethan with the leopard camp. If you enter 'O' for Ethan and leopard camp, this will solve the puzzle.

If you solve the puzzle with rules and triggers enabled, all of the marks can be entered by level 1a.

This is a challenging three-star puzzle because of the number of nouns, along with the rule and trigger.
