Envelopes (Posted on 2003-04-10) Difficulty: 2 of 5
There are three envelopes and exactly two statements are written on each of the envelopes. The statements on one of the envelopes are BOTH TRUE, the statements on the other envelope are BOTH FALSE and the remaining envelope has ONE TRUE and ONE FALSE statement. Here is what is written on the three envelopes:

First Envelope:
(a)The formula is not in here.
(b)The formula is in Envelope 2.

Second Envelope:
(a)The formula is not in Envelope 1.
(b)The formula is in Envelope 3.

Third Envelope:
(a)The formula is not in here.
(b)The formula is in Envelope 1.

Which envelope contains the formula ?

Solution HAHA! i think i got it | Comment 14 of 39 |
the formula is in the third envelope.
First Envelope (a)true (b)false
Second Envelope (a)true (b)true [has to be true because the only other options are true-true and false-false.
CHECK: Third Envelope (a)false (b)false
the answers to the Third Envelope correspond to the answers to the other two envelopes. Is this right?
