Solution to grid puzzle

The henchmen's discussion implies that the letter row and number column both have at least two balls in them (required for "I don't know, but I know you don't know)". Bernard's statement to Albert makes it clear to Albert that the letter must be either row C or D depending on the number he knows.

If it was row D the answer would still be ambiguous to Bernard so it must be C3 and the ball is gold

Solution to overall puzzle
