\r\n" );
document.write( "From the condition, we have these three statements:\r\n" );

document.write( "    (1)  Alfred and Clay are of the same handedness.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    (2)  Stan and Bob use different hands.\r\n" );

document.write( "Adding statement (1) to it, we see that the three, Bob, Clay and Alfred use the same hand; \r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "From it, we conclude that the left-handed are remaining two, Roger and Stan.\r\n" );
