Which of the following statements is true?

1. Exactly one of these ten statements is false.

2. Exactly two of these ten statements are false.

3. Exactly three of these ten statements are false.

4. Exactly four of these ten statements are false.

5. Exactly five of these ten statements are false.

6. Exactly six of these ten statements are false.

7. Exactly seven of these ten statements are false.

8. Exactly eight of these ten statements are false.

9. Exactly nine of these ten statements are false.

10. Exactly ten of these ten statements are false.

Which of the above statements will be true and which of them will be false, if you remove the word 'Exactly' from all the statements ?

I remember you saying something about how, at least should be replaced for exactly. Now if you just remove exactly. That validates number nine doesnt it? But if you replace it with "at least" it seems that 9 of the 10 are true, and the tenth false. Hmm

Ps. Ravi, I was originally thinking this way, but then I thought of a problem in logic once with the invalidation of a question due to lack of rule. But I get what you mean.
