A spaceship received three messages in a strange language from a distant planet. The astonauts studied these messages and found that
"Elros Aldarion Elendil" means "Danger Rocket Explosion" and
"Edain Mnyatur Elros" means "Danger spaceship Fire" and
"Aldarion Gimilzor Gondor" means "Bad Gas Explosion".
What does "Elendil" mean?
DANGER - EXPLOSION - NOTHING - ROCKET - GAS
Elros appears in the first and second sentences and the only common word in those two sentences is Danger.
Aldarion appears in the first and third, and the only common word is Explosion.
Therefore, using common thinking, Elendil would be Rocket.
