<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 408104, member: 4920"]LOL! Richie, if the 1st one is a Nickel, who always tells the truth, he's going to tell the truth and answer he's a Nickel. If the 1st one is a Dime, who always tell lies, he's going to lie and answer he's a Nickel. In both cases, no matter what denomination the coin is, he's going to answer he's a Nickel. Therefore, you don't know what denomination the 1st coin is, but you know what his mumbled answer was--it was, he's a Nickel. Go from there to the respective statements, and you know the denominations of the other two coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've had people going for weeks on this one, so don't feel bad. In fact, try it on some of your co-workers, you'll have a blast listening to some of their answers. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
