I imagine you could, theoretically, set up a truth table for problems like this one. It’s not so bad in this case because it’s only 8×8. But I think, systematically, that might be the best way to solve the class of puzzles.
Intuitively… it’s a different breed altogether.
I had a group of kids make a complete list, and cross out the wrong ones. It worked just fine.
