Prompt

You are tasked with resolving a strict scheduling conflict for an international space station crew. There are 5 astronauts: Alice (USA), Bob (Canada), Charlie (UK), Dave (Australia), and Eve (Japan). They need to be assigned to 5 different tasks: Maintenance, Research, Navigation, Communications, and Cooking. Please assign the tasks based on the following absolute conditions: 1. The astronaut from the UK cannot do Maintenance or Cooking. 2. Alice and the astronaut from Japan must be assigned to Research and Navigation, in no particular order. 3. Dave is highly allergic to the ingredients being used today, so he cannot Cook. 4. Bob is best friends with the Communications officer, meaning Bob himself is not the Communications officer. Determine exactly which task each astronaut is assigned to. Provide your step-by-step logical reasoning before revealing the final assignments in a bulleted list.
