Three-of-a-crime is a simple logic game for up to 3 players. There are 7 different
criminals. The computer randomly chooses three of these (the "perpetrators"), but
doesn't tell the players which are chosen. The computer then puts down three random
criminals. 0, 1, or 2 of these may be the actual perpetrators. The computer also tells
the player how many (but not which) of the three criminals are perpetrators. The
players may either guess which three criminals are the actual perpetrators or they may
pass. If a player guesses wrong, she is out of the game and the other players continue.
If no player chooses to guess, the computer puts down another three randomly chosen
criminals (0, 1, or 2 of which may be actual perpetrators) and tells the players how
many (but not which) of these are actual perpetrators. Players can again use logic to
deduce the three actual criminals and may guess. Play continues until some player
guesses correctly or until all players have guessed incorrectly.

I am not able to deduce the logic. Can anyone please help me with the logic?
