Last Problem:
The will of an eccentric man stipulated that his two heirs were to stage a horse race and the owner of the losing horse would receive the entire inheritance. At the appointed hour, the race took place, but both heirs kept their horses from crossing the finish line. To break the stalemate, the executor of the will thought up a slight change to the race.
Following the executor’s idea, the two heirs raced again, and the one who finished first won the inheritance.
How could that be the case if everyone stayed true to the letter of the will?
Answer:
The two heirs swapped horses.
Today’s Problem:
Three children make the following statements:
Child #1 [Frank]:
I am a truth teller.
Child #2:
Frank says he is a truth teller.
Child #3:
Frank is not a truth teller – he is a liar.
The three children quoted above are either truth tellers or liars. Can you tell with certainty how many of each there are?
