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.”

it is simple... each person told one true and one false statement.
we would not know which statments were true or false. Each person is accused of being the culprit at least once, Except person 'B'
so D is the culprit.
So heres what i came up with:
A said: I did not do it (true) B did it (false)
B said: A did not do it (true) C did it (false)
C said: B did not do it (true) I did it (false)
D said: C did not do it (true) A did it (false)
D must be their leader or something.. they dont want to rat him out. but i think the dectective knew cuz he had the lie detector.
