In the land of Oz, people either always speak the truth or lies. A traveler met a man named Mr. Dilemma & asks him if he was a liar or a truth teller. Mr. Dilemma mumbled so softly the traveler did NOT hear him, so he asked Mr.Logic who was standing right next to him what Mr. Dilemma said. Mr. Logic replied , "he said that he was a liar." Is Mr. Logic a liar or a truth teller?

In the land of Oz, people either always speak the truth or lies. A traveler met a man named Mr. Dilemma & asks him if he was a liar or a truth teller. Mr. Dilemma mumbled so softly the traveler did NOT hear him, so he asked Mr.Logic who was standing right next to him what Mr. Dilemma said. Mr. Logic replied , "he said that he was a liar." Is Mr. Logic a liar or a truth teller?

Answer 1

If Mr. Dilemma actually said that he was a liar, and he was a liar, that would be the truth rather than a lie. Does that give you a hint about Mr. Logic?

Answer 2

To determine whether Mr. Logic is a liar or a truth teller, we can analyze the situation based on the given information.

In the land of Oz, people either always speak the truth or lies. Let's consider the possible scenarios:

1. If Mr. Dilemma is a truth teller:
- Mr. Dilemma would have truthfully stated that he is a liar.
- Mr. Logic, being a truth teller, would accurately relay what Mr. Dilemma said.

2. If Mr. Dilemma is a liar:
- Mr. Dilemma would have lied about being a liar, meaning he is actually a truth teller.
- Mr. Logic, being a truth teller, would wrongly relay what Mr. Dilemma said.

Based on the above analysis, we can conclude that Mr. Logic is, in fact, a liar. Even though Mr. Logic claimed that Mr. Dilemma said he was a liar, it contradicts what a truth teller would have relayed. So, Mr. Logic's statement cannot be trusted, and he is a liar in this scenario.
