What was the challenge?
It's pretty simple one. Nowhere it is mentioned that you have to make it as
10 & not allowed to make TEN. So three sticks from first, one from second &
2 from third gives us TEN.
However, we can make it as 10 as well. Removing 1 stick from first, 4 from
second & 1 from third produces 10.
A. The number of false statements here is one.
B. The number of false statements here is two.
C. The number of false statements here is three.
D. The number of false statements here is four.
Which of the above statements is true?
How it was tricky & what were others?
One has to be true & other 3 must be false. Let's consider each case one by one.
Case A : According to this statement the number of false statement is 1 which is contrary to given condition that 1 is true & 3 are false. So it can't be true.
Case B : As per this, number of false statements = 2 which is again contrary to given condition of 3 false statements.So it can't be true.
Case C : As per this, number of false statements =3 exactly matching the given condition.
Case D : This implies number of false statements = 4 meaning that all the statements including itself are false. This is opposite to given condition. So this has to be false as well.
So the statement C is true & all other are false!
Richard is a strange liar. He lies on six days of the week, but
on the seventh day he always tells the truth. He made the following
statements on three successive days:
Day 1: "I lie on Monday and
Tuesday."
Day 2: "Today, it's Thursday, Saturday, or Sunday."
Day 3: "I
lie on Wednesday and Friday."
On which day does Richard tell the truth?
