I'm posting one puzzle, riddle, math, or statistical problem a day. Try to answer each one and post your answers in the comments section. I'll post the answer the next day. Even if you have the same answer as someone else, feel free to put up your answer, too!

Whodunnit... Where are the Grammar Police When You Need Them?
Three of these statements are untrue, so whodunnit?
Mr. Blue did it. Logic: Assume Stmt 1 to be true then we can deduce that stmt 2,3,4 are false.
If we assume that stmt 2 is true, we can deduce that 2 stmts are true, which is contrary to given conditions. Same conclusion can be drawn when we assume stmt 3 or stmt 4 to be true. www.guessthelogo.net
Also, Mr. Yellow has equated his answer with that of Mr. Green. Since only one person is telling the truth, both of these men must be lying--and, following immediately, so must be Mr. Blue. This leaves Mr. Red telling the truth, and that's all she wrote, so to speak.
Leave your answer or, if you want to post a question of your own, send me an e-mail. Look in the about section to find my e-mail address. If it's new, I'll post it soon.
Please don't leave spam or 'Awesome blog, come visit mine' messages. I'll delete them soon after.

ReplyDeleteYes. Mr.Red's statement is true.
ReplyDeleteEveryone except Mr.red are saying samething, which does not holds the condition.
Straightforward logic progression here. Red's guilty and the others are covering for him.
ReplyDeleteOptions one. two and three seems to me wrong answers because these options does not clarify any sense.
