Got this book, Logic Puzzles by Norman D. Willis, for my 2nd anniversary! Haa. Loads of logic puzzles inside! Shall write 1 or 2 here for you guys who’re bored out there! =D
This requires some thinking, but its not hard!!
A murder had occurred but was somewhat unusual in the sense that not only is the culprit unknown, but also the victim! The people involved are the master and the servant of the house, and 3 guests (A, B, C) who stayed over that night.
- If A was the culprit, then C was the victim.
- If B was the victim, the servant was the culprit.
- If C was the victim, B was the culprit.
- If the servant was the culprit, the victim was C.
- The servant was not available until the next morning, and was not able to provide an alibi.
- If C was the culprit, then B was the victim.
- If B was the culprit, the servant was the victim.
So who’s the culprit and who’s the victim? Answers will be reviewed in the next few posts. =P
Culprit is the Master and Victim is A.
