Logic Question: I have just placed an item into one of three boxes: a gold box, a silver box and a lead box. Each box has an inscription. Only one of the inscriptions is true. The inscriptions are: Gold box: The item is not in the silver box. Silver box: The item is not in this box. Lead box: The item is in this box. Which box has the item?

3 Answers

It has to be in the silver box. Gold Box: This is the true statement. It's in the silver box. Silver: False statement Lead: False statement Took me awhile to think about it. I wonder how long you have on the questions. Less

It is in the gold box, otherwise all the statements are false.

The silver one correct?

Three boxes in a room, a key is in one of them. The gold box has "the key is in the gold box" written on it. The bronze box has "the key is NOT in the gold box" written on it. The silver box has "the key is NOT in the silver box" written on it. Exactly ONE of these statements is true. In which box is the key?
