The car thief was extremely unlucky when the care he stole turned out to belong to the Senior Detective. Based upon witness descriptions, 4 suspects were brought in for questioning. All of them act a little suspiciously. They gave the following statements.

Suspect A:
  • Suspect C and I were in the same class in High School
  • Suspect B doesn't even have a drivers license
  • However took the car didn't know it belonged to a cop.

Suspect B:
  • Suspect C did it
  • I know Suspect A isn't guilty
  • I've never even sat behind the wheel of a car

Suspect C:
  • I never met Suspect A until today
  • Suspect B isn't guilty
  • Suspect D did it

Suspect D:
  • Suspect C is innocent
  • It wasn't me
  • Suspect A stole the car

The suspects gave these statements while connected to a lie detector. However, the detective was so flustered due to his anger, that he lost track of which question went with which readout. He wasn't even sure which readout went with which suspect. All he knows for sure is that only 4 of the responses he received were truthful answers.

Who stole the car?

did each suspect tell at least 1 truth or can all 3 of their answers be lies? meaning at least one suspect told 2 truths. :popcorn: i was thinking b too but then it meant more than 4 answers were true if each spoke at least 1 truth.

Good question Terry. The detective has looked over the readouts and realized that he may not be able to figure out which readout is for whom… but he can break down the true answers a bit. One suspect never gave a truthful response. Two suspect gave a single truthful response. One suspect gave two truthful responses.

It is anybody's guess what will be considered a hard one. :wacko: I thought this one was pretty tough and you all got it right off. A couple weeks ago we had a "coded" message that I thought would be fairly simple, yet it threw everyone. I just try to come up with some variety to the puzzles… which is tough for me seeing as how I'm not very creative. :blush: Making a "puzzle" is fairly easy… figuring out what "type" of puzzle it should be is "stressful".

You make these puzzles up Tomk? Wow. Very creative. It doesn't look that easy to me. You should copyright/publish them. Then, I'll buy your books and get a head start on everybody here :lol:
