Murdle.com - Daily logic puzzle to solve a murder

I randomly saw a TikTok about this last night. It's a website which has a new daily logic puzzle for you to solve. They are (thus far for me) all elimination grid logic puzzles. The author of the site also released a book of them, which according to the TikToker also had a plot and narrative as you went through the puzzles.

I'm out of practice at these puzzles, I made a huge whiff when I did the first one last night. This morning I got 3 of the 4. So I am hopeful of getting back on track with these as part of my morning game / puzzle routines.

Bertrand Russell is the Pope

The story goes that Bertrand Russell, in a lecture on logic, mentioned that in the sense of material implication, a false proposition implies any proposition.

A student raised his hand and said "In that case, given that 1 = 0, prove that you are the Pope."

Russell immediately replied, "Add 1 to both sides of the equation: then we have 2 = 1. The set containing just me and the Pope has 2 members. But 2 = 1, so it has only 1 member; therefore, I am the Pope."
