There are 6 people , Knaku,Franz,Blunt,Dila,Paul,Prisi.Each of this 6 persons should exercice one of the next jobs : Manager , IT , Driver , Doctor , Chemist,Guard.

We know next things:

If Paul is manager then Franz is either driver or manager.
If Prisi is not a chemist then Blunt is a driver.
If Dila is an IT then Blunt is not a doctor.

If Dila is not a doctor then Blunt is a doctor.

No one performs two jobs, so which one carries which job?
Have fun!

@rohtarantula,
I got this scenario:

Knaku - Chemist
Franz - Manager
Blunt - Driver
Dila - IT
Paul - Guard
Prisi - Doctor

I'm not any good at riddles so I'm pretty sure that this is wrong but it's what I came up with and I'm sticking to it. Smile

@rohtarantula,
1) If Knaku is not a doctor then Prisi is not an IT.
2) If Blunt is either an IT or a driver then Knaku is a doctor.
3) If Paul is a manager then Franz is either a driver or a manager.
4) If Prisi is not a chemist then Blunt is a driver.
5) If Dila is an IT then Blunt is not a doctor.
6) If Knaku is not a guard then Paul is either a chemist or a guard.
7) If Dila is not a doctor then Blunt is a doctor.

These are derived from 1-7:

8) Dila or Blunt is a doctor (7)
9) Dila is not an IT (5,8)
10) Prisi is a chemist (4,2,8)
11) Blunt is neither an IT nor a driver (8,2)
12) Knaku or Paul is a guard (6,10)

Assume Paul is a manager, then:
Paul: manager (assumed)
Franz: driver (3)
Prisi: chemist (10)
Knaku: guard (12)
Dila or Blunt: IT (contradicts 9,11)

13) Paul is not a manager

That leaves these options for each person with no further constraints (other than each position must be filled exactly once):

Prisi: chemist
Blunt: doctor, manager
Dila: doctor, manager, driver
Franz: manager, driver, IT
Knaku: manager, driver, IT, guard
Paul: driver, IT, guard

There are 11 solutions:

Prisi: chemist
Blunt: manager
Dila: doctor
Knaku: guard
Franz: driver or IT
Paul: IT or driver

Prisi: chemist
Blunt: manager
Dila: doctor
Paul: guard
Franz: driver or IT
Knaku: IT or driver

Prisi: chemist
Blunt: doctor
Knaku: guard
Dila: manager
Franz: driver or IT
Paul: IT or driver

Prisi: chemist
Blunt: doctor
Knaku: guard
Dila: driver
Franz: manager
Paul: IT

Prisi: chemist
Blunt: doctor
Paul: guard
Dila: manager
Franz: driver or IT
Knaku: IT or driver

Prisi: chemist
Blunt: doctor
Paul: guard
Dila: driver
Franz: manager or IT
Knaku: IT or manager

I got this:
Presume Dila is a IT --> Blunt is not a doctor
Dila is a IT so she isn't a doctor --> Blunt is a doctor

these two frases contradict themselfs, meaning Dila is not a IT --> Blunt is a doctor, because if Dila is not a doctor then Blunt is.

If Blunt were a IT or a driver then Knaku would be a doctor, meaning that Blut is neither a IT nor a driver.
If Prisi is not a chemist --> Blunt is a driver. Blunt is not a driver so Prisi must be a chemist.

Now Dila can only be three things because she can't be an IT.
Let's presume she's one of these three.
Dila can't be a guard because if she's the guard then Knaku is not a guard --> Paul is either a chemist or a guard. Paul can't be the chemist because Prisi has that job, so he can only be the guard. This comes into contradiction with the fact that Dila is also a guard, meaning that Dila cannot be a guard.

If Dila is a manager then Paul is not a manager meaning that Franz is not a driver leaving him two jobs IT or guard.
If Dila is a driver then Paul is not a manager because if he were, Franz would be the driver.
Either way Franz has two job possibilities: IT or guard.

Franz cannot be the guard by the same logic for which Dila cannot be the guard, so Franz is a IT.

We can also conclude that Paul is not a manager.

Knaku can be either three: Knaku is a manager then Dila is a driver and viceversa, Knaku is a guard then Paul can only be the drivers which means
Dila is the manager.

I don't know how to go forward but when I did it at first I came up with:

Knaku - manager
Franz - IT
Dila - driver
Blunt - doctor
Prisi - chemist
Paul - guard

since I don't know how to prove it I'll write it to match the result:

Knaku - manager Knaku - driver Knaku - guard
Franz - IT Franz - IT Franz - IT
Dila - driver Dila - manager Dila -manager
Blunt- doctor Blunt - doctor Blunt - doctor
Prisi - chemist Prisi - chemist Prisi - chemist
Paul - guard Paul - guard Paul - driver
