I guess this type can be solved fast only with circles. Otherwise I spent lot of time making conversion, looking to the M-distribution, figures and types (AII-3, etc. ) , making second sentence first, etc.

Just convert the first statement.
By rule of conversion.
All -> some.
No -> somenot/no.
Some -> some.
