Since it’s too hard, and I doubt anyone is going to participate, here’s the answer:
If you chose Cai, you solved the puzzle. You followed the logic fully to the correct conclusion. Well done.
If you chose Blair, you identified the truth-teller, which means your reasoning was strong but you were solving for the wrong objective. The puzzle asked who the synthetic is, not who was telling the truth. You were close and definitely thinking clearly.
If you chose Dev, you likely took his confession at face value. But in logic puzzles like this, especially when deception is allowed, obvious answers are usually bait. The rule structure just doesn’t support him being the correct pick.
If you chose Ash, you may have trusted her confidence or her suspicion of Blair. But her being correct would require Cai to also be telling the truth, which breaks the one-truth rule. The logic fails under her scenario.
This was about precision, not gut feeling. Everyone who engaged seriously deserves credit. And if you got it right, you didn’t just guess; you earned it.
Answer: Cai is the synthetic.
Only Blair told the truth.

Four individuals sit in a sealed chamber. Ash, Blair, Cai, and Dev. One is synthetic. The others are human. Only one of them will tell the truth. The rest will lie. The synthetic already knows what they are and may lie or tell the truth. The humans do not know who the synthetic
