Bank Robbery (Posted on 2003-01-29) Difficulty: 3 of 5
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.”

This is the way I did it...

If C's last statement is true, his first statement is true too. So C didn't and B didn't

A's last statement is false, so A didn't do it.

This leaves D.
