The output for testcase “04. Extra Steps” is supposed to be:

italian
NOT green-eyed
tattooed

However, the list of spies is Albert Elenora Alton Alethea Campion Evangeline, and Albert and Elenora are not italian:

Albert 2 tall tattooed
Elenora 2 tattooed french

Is this a mistake? Or have I completely misunderstood the problem?

#3

The statement mentions:

Note that a command only gives information about spies who are associated with the given attribute, and doesn’t imply any information about those not associated with the given attribute.

“italian” not being an attribute of Albert and Elenora tells us nothing about whether they are “italian” or not, so a command of “italian” doesn’t absolve or indicate Albert or Elenora.

Going through Example 1 in the statement should help you understand more.
