Wow

Kudos to both of us for making this a non-puzzle thread. Since you asked some questions, I will answer them and let you have the last word as promised.

>What other assumptions that I need to try? What kind of question is this? 

I don't know if you are just pissed and want to argue or you are missing what I am saying. How about this for the assumption: "Lets assume that F was wearing Bhadgaule topi." Did you try this assumption? There are few other mixes you have to consider before you say you have "another method of solving a puzzle."

Google 12 marbles riddle, All marbles are of same weight except for one. You are to find which one is the odd marble (could be heavier or lighter than the rest) by using a balance scale (taraju) in three tries only. Think about this problem. To solve this problem you have to go with numerous assumptions. Divide marbles into 3 groups, weigh first two groups. Assume both groups weighed same. That's the first assumption, you solve with that assumption. Then you have to go back and assume the first two groups didn't weigh the same and solve from there. Solving this problem with just the first assumption is NOT really solving the problem. That's the point I am trying to drive to you.

>Don't get me wrong on this but your last response just reminded me that you have a lot of critical reading to do about various methods in which a puzzle can be solved, before you start judging someone. 
I didn't think I was judging you personally (you did judge ME personally). I commented on your post whether it was right or wrong- as the guy who asked the puzzle, that's my job.

>I wish you had just said, that my logic is sound or incorrect ...
That's the point I am trying to make. Your logic is NOT incorrect!! It just isn't complete.

>You cannot say that I assume and simply solved because that is not how logic works
What are we talking about here? I never said you assumed wrong, or assuming is wrong. For the 7th time, your assumption is not wrong, just that your solution is not complete.

>You are just plain rookie on logical thinking.
Seriously? So far I am "assuming" that you are a matured person, don't wrong me here. Besides, I am not a plain rookie on logical thinking; I am actually nobody and neither want any title. I proclaim you the Logical thinking champ.

I seriously hope you see my point by now.
