Thursday Thinker Answer – Who’s Visiting?

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Here is the answer to yesterday’s Thursday Thinker:

Janet is a visitor and Jane and June are natives. The statement made by June can not be true because if they were all natives none of them would say they were. Therefore, we know that June is a native.

Janet can not be a native since if she was that makes Jane the only visitor. That would make Janet’s statement true, which she could not make if she were a native.

Phew!

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

You go on vacation to Wonderville where there are two types of people, natives and visitors. In Wonderville the natives always lie and the visitors always tell the truth. As you are walking along you meet three women Jane, Janet and June. June says to you, “all of us are natives.” Then, Janet tells you, “Only one of us is a visitor.”

From this information, who is a visitor and who is a native?
