Cake Theft Puzzles
During
a recent police investigation, Chief Inspector Stone was interviewing
five local villains to try and identify who stole Mrs Archer's cake from
the mid-summers fayre. Below is a summary of their statements:
It was well known that each suspect told exactly one lie. Can you determine who stole the cake?Arnold: it wasn't Edward
it was Brian
Brian: it wasn't Charlie
it wasn't Edward
Charlie: it was Edward
it wasn't Arnold
Derek: it was Charlie
it was Brian
Edward: it was Derek
it wasn't Arnold
Ans::
Charlie committed the terrible crime. The way to solve this puzzle is to
look at each clue. We know that exactly one of each person's statements
is true. Looking at Arnold's statements, let's check to see 'it was
Brian' is true? If 'it was Brian' is true, then we know the other
statement is false, therefore it was Edward. This is a contradiction.
Hence we now know it wasn't Brian, nor Edward (as 'it wasn't Edward'
must be the true statement). Looking at Charlie's statement, we can
similarly determine that it wasn't Arnold either. Edward's statement
gives us that it wasn't Derek, which leaves only Charlie as the culprit.
It is always wise to check this against the other clues. QED.
