The One Honest Voice Among Confusing Campers
Riddle:
A group of hikers got lost in the woods and couldn’t remember the day. They began arguing: Sarah said it wasn’t Monday or Friday. Mike said yesterday was Wednesday. Tanya claimed tomorrow would be Sunday. Raj believed today was Thursday. Kelly said the day before yesterday was Saturday. But only one of them told the truth. What day is it?
Answer:
Answer: Tuesday. Explanation: If only one person is telling the truth, we test each day against all statements. Only when the day is Tuesday does exactly one statement (Sarah’s) become true, while all others are false. This type of logic puzzle requires testing conditions under constraints.
