Question

Situation: There are five countries each country had assign squad Question:

There are five countries Australia, Brazil, UK, Norway and China Each country has an assigned squad specialty: Vice. Homicide, Robbery. Auto-theft and Traffic. Each specialty squad has one officer Baxter, Costa, Steinbeck Goodman and Andrews

The five countries have decided to take part in a "Global Cop Swap" All cops will trade places and learn new methods from squads abroad No one will stay in their current countries For instance, if we assume that Brazil's squad specialty is Robbery, and Officer Baxter from Brazil will now be headed to Norway, then another cop must come to Brazil to specialize in Robbery.

Clues

Homicide expert, Steinbeck, is going to a European country
Goodman, an Auto-theft expert, is going to China for the first time.
Costa, is going to the UK, where he isn't working for the Traffic or Vice Squad.
The Norwegian project is with the Robbery Squad.
Traffic expert, Andrews, is not the Officer going to Brazil
Vice expert, Baxter, is looking forward to learning about Auto-theft.

Answer 1

Using logical deduction based on the given clues, the country assignments can be determined for each officer involved in the 'Global Cop Swap' scenario.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question presents a logic puzzle which is a part of critical thinking exercises often found in social studies, specifically within the subjects of law enforcement or criminology. We have to determine the country assignments for each officer based on the given clues.

The correct country and squad specialty for each officer is as follows: Steinbeck, the Homicide expert, will go to a European country, which is likely the UK as Costa is not assigned to Traffic or Vice Squad there, and Norway has the Robbery Squad. Goodman, the Auto-theft expert, goes to China, and as Vice expert, Baxter is learning about Auto-theft, Baxter cannot be going to China and must be going to the UK or Norway.

As Costa, is going to the UK but not for Traffic or Vice, and Andrews, the Traffic expert, is not headed to Brazil, it means Andrews is the one going to Australia. Thus, Costa must be the one going to fill the role of the Homicide or Robbery Squad in the UK, which leaves Steinbeck to go to Norway and Baxter to the UK.

This leaves Andrews and Baxter to be swapping with China and Australia, respectively, since Goodman is already going to China and Andrews can't be the one going to Brazil. Therefore, Andrews is going to Australia and Baxter is going to auto-theft, hence Baxter goes to China, leaving Brazil as the destination for Goodman.
