It doesn't work or else premise 2) is ambiguous!. The writer MUST be kurt since it cannot be willard or alonzo and because rudolf has never heard of alonzo it cannot be him either!.
However, unless you say kurt and the writer is one in the same for premise 2) then kurt cannot be the writer either!.
Even if we make the assumption that premise 2) meant that Kurt and the writer were one in the same there is no way of determining who is the painter and dancer between rudolf and alonzo since clearly willard must be the singer
edit: sorry alexis you have to be wrong cause if both Kurt and the writer (rudolf) had their portraits painted by alonzo then he must know rudolf which premise 4) says he can'tWww@QuestionHome@Com
