Your puzzle

Inez and Jules each have one different folder: gold or silver. No clue tells you which person has which. This is deliberately incomplete. Your goal is to diagnose the missing information, not to guess.

  1. Each person has one folder.
  2. The folders differ: one gold and one silver.
  3. There is no other clue.
