Some Thoughts The day when Bob tells the truth,part 2 | Comment 8 of 10 |
I am thinking.
Aha.
Days A and C are not both lying days because of the important fact.
We call this fact the other important fact.
I have proven that Day B is either Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,or Friday.
Suppose it is a Friday.
Then,Days A and C are Thursday and Saturday,both lying days,contradictory to the super important fact.
Day B is either Monday,Tuesday,or Wednesday.
