During a recent police investigation, Chief Inspector Stone was interviewing five local villains to try and identify who stole Mrs Archer's cake from the mid-summers fayre. Below is a summary of their statements:
Arnold: it wasn't Edward
it was Brian
Brian: it wasn't Charles
it wasn't Edward
Charles: it was Edward
it wasn't Arnold
Derek: it was Charles
it was Brian
Edward: it was Derek
it wasn't Arnold
It was well known that each suspect told exactly one lie. Can you determine who stole the cake?
Looking at Brian's statements, one of the statements was a lie and the other was the truth. Therefore it must have been either Charles or Edward.
Looking at Derek's statements, for the same reason, it was either Charles or Brian.
Therefore it must have been Charles who committed the crime. Double checking this against the other statements confirms this.
