For example, this puzzle
“What single state is home to all of the following U.S. cities: Madrid, Toronto, Cincinnati, Denver, Hartford, and Norway?”
would have been solved by
“Search [U.S. city Madrid] to find that there’s is a Madrid in Missouri and Iowa. Search [Toronto Missouri] to find nothing, but [Toronto Iowa] to find a U.S. city. Repeat searching with Iowa for the other options to confirm that the answer is Iowa.” (link)
