I didn't do it. (Posted on 2004-11-04) Difficulty: 1 of 5
A terrible crime has been committed and the police round up the usual suspects. During the interrogation of the four men the following accusations and statements are made:

Anderson said "Brimmers did it."
Brimmers said "Dodge did it."
Carter said "I didn't do it."
Dodge said "Brimmers lied when he said I did it."

If only one of the four men was untruthful, which man committed the crime?

Of Course Brimmers did it. | Comment 7 of 16 |
If only one of the statements is false, it was Brimmer's statement that Dodge did it as all other statements have more than one conflict.  ergo.... Anderson's statement that Brimmer did it is true and he did it.  Assuming that we are not judging the makers of the statements but the statements themselves.  If only one statement if false, Brimmer did it.
