The three stooges are a real pain. When you ask one of them a question, they all answer. Futhermore, one of them always lies, and the other two answer truthfully. I asked them who is the smartest. They replied:
Curly: I am not the smartest
Moe: Larry is the smartest
Larry: Curly is the smartest
WHo is rally the smartest and who is the liar?
To determine who is the smartest and who is the liar among the three Stooges, we will examine their statements.
Curly says, "I am not the smartest." If Curly were the smartest, his statement would be false. However, since one of them always lies, we can conclude that Curly is not the smartest and he tells the truth.
Moe says, "Larry is the smartest." If Larry were the smartest, this statement would be true. Since Moe always tells the truth, we can conclude that Larry is indeed the smartest.
Larry says, "Curly is the smartest." We have already determined that Curly tells the truth, so if Curly were the smartest, this statement would be true. However, since one of them always lies, we can conclude that Larry is not the smartest and he lies.
Therefore, Curly tells the truth, Larry lies, and Moe tells the truth. Larry's claim that Curly is the smartest is false. So the smartest of the three Stooges is Larry, and the liar is Larry as well.
