A cop arrested four suspects for the bank robbery. When he interviewed them, each made two statements. From his infrared lie-detector he knew that each man made one "true" and one "false" statement. As a result, he soon found out the culprit.

Given the following statements, can you determine who the culprit was?

‘A’ said: “I did not do it. B did.”

‘B’ said: “A did not do it. C did.”

‘C’ said: “B did not do it. I did.”

‘D’ said: “C did not do it. A did.”

Solution:
i am doing it by going through the 4 possibilities. It can't be 'A' as his two statements would both be false. It can't be 'B' as both of C's would be false, both A's would be true. It can't be C as B's would both be true. and both Ds would be false. It therefore must be D - which gives each a true and false statement
