Crazy_dog no.3 Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 If there are 10 people in 1 room, and each of them says: "all of u are liars", how many are lying and how many are telling the truth? Not all of them are liars... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherack Nhar Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Obviously only one person can say the truth, no? o_O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygomaticus Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 yep, i think Sherack's right.... hard to explain why, in words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie Guy Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 Yes, they are right, only one person can be telling the truth. Why? Because if one person is, then the others can't because they are all liars according to the person who is telling the truth, so they must all be liars, except him. Alternately, it could never be two or more people telling the truth, because if two were true, then the statement "all of you are liars" who not be true and all of them would be liars.

Not all of them are liars... If two tell the truth then they are all lieing because those two technicly lie when they say everyone is lieing when the other is not really...so they are really all liers and are all telling the truth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order for them all to be lying they would all have to be telling the truth because then everyone could honestly be lying about everyone being liars. But if they are all telling the truth then none of them can be honestly called liars even though all of them are lying. So that clearly doesn't work.
