Six people stayed in a hotel.

1. The six people were three men- Andy, Barry and Clint - and three ladies- Debra, Ellen and Francine.
2. Each stayed in a different one of six rooms arranged like this:

+------+------+------+------+
|      |      |      |      |
|      |  2   |      |   4  | 
|  1   +------+  3   |------+
|      |      |      |      |
|      |      |      |      |
+------+      +------+      | 
|             |             |
|      6      |       5     |
|             |             | 
+-------------+-------------+

3. Andy said: "I stayed in a large room."
4. Barry said: "I stayed in a medium-sized room."
5. Clint said: "I stayed in a small room."
6. Exactly one man lied.
7. Of the three rooms occupied by the men, only the room occupied by the man who lied bordered on exactly two of the rooms occupied by the ladies.

Who lied?

The men were obviously mean.  In my solution, the men chose their rooms first and left the ladies to fend for themselves.
