Thinking tip (Sure, or just a guess?): Rule: every member of a group does X. In the group → yes, for sure. Does NOT do X → no, for sure (not in the group). Does X → can’t tell (others may do X too). Not in the group → can’t tell (the rule says nothing about them). When the facts do not decide it, the honest answer is “can’t tell”.
