Unless the rules of the game say "no pencil and paper" (or digital equivalents), it ain't cheating to organize your thoughts.

That said, I can buy at face value the claim that only 2% of people could solve it. Some of these logic puzzles require deductive leaps that many people - myself included - struggle with in these contexts. I love logic puzzles. But I'm only 50/50 on solving them without a hint, at best.
in the range of logic puzzles this one is easy but large. No multi-step tests of you use a grid. Just fill out the grid going through the clues, transfer all information through to all cells, apply all the clues again and repeat.

No if this person is x this person is y and that makes this person a which is not possible type of leaps.

I the biggest thing is if you don't know how to build the grid you probably can't solve it
