This problem seems a little shifty. It makes sense how you can sort it out but some of the problems wording is up for interpretation.

E.g Veron doesn't vacuum and doesn't do his task on Tuesday could be seen two ways. 1 that his task is Tuesday but he just didn't do it, or 2 his task isn't on Tuesday and doesn't vacuum. So if someone was to be more literal with the interpretation that could be a problem.
