clumsydyna:
A car can never be in a box if you are to apply logical reasoning here.

The car can only be in the 3 boxes

emror4u:
if 1 is true, 2 is true, 3 is a lie (fail) if 2 is true, 1 is a lie then 3 is true, or vice versa (fail) if 3 is true and 1 is a lie and 2 is true (fail) car is not in box 3 if 3 is true, 1 is a lie, then 2 is a lie, hence the car is in 2.

see it this way also


Only one statement is true. But the car does not have to be in the box whose statement is true. the statement needs to be verified true or false based on which box the car is in. So,
Car in Box 2.
Statement 1 is wrong.
Statement 2 is wrong and
Statement 3 is true.


@citas
nice one @babamide ... @ Dollypie20 ... @ jeyselassie

hmmmm, we keep learning everyday. tnx

The car is in the 3rd box

Box 2

The car is in Box #2

It's in box one

simply logic! there are not talking about which car are in the box, there are talking about which statement is correct!

simple English una no understand!

only the statement on box 2 us correct because it is nt contradicted by any of the other statements

Babamide:
The car is in box 2.
If the car is in box 1, statement 1 and 2 are true.
If the car is in box 2, only statement 3 is true.
If the car is in box 3, statement 2 and 3 are true.
Only 1 statement is true.

You are right, 1 can not be true and wrong simultaneously, so 1 and 3 is wrong.

Only 2 is right mathematically

Modified. In Maths if A = B, then B must be equal to A. the statements of box 1 and 3 is wrong because boss one must be true and not true and false at the same time.

100% the car is in box 2 if you need proof for that don't hesitate to ask.

Riddle solved and case closed......

Simple

Box 2

Sir, the car is in box 2.
Statements 1 & 2 are false.
Statement 3 is true.

The car is not in box 1, cos statement 3 implied it. The car is neither in box 2, cos statement 2 says so. If the car is neither in boxes 1 nor 2, then it's in box3, cos statement 3 didn't say whether or not the car is in box 3. #BasedonLogistics#

The correct option is 2.
Instruction says: only one "STATEMENT" is true.

stylochime:
only the statement on box 2 us correct because it is nt contradicted by any of the other statements

Don't confuse yourself , statement 3 is the only correct statement which means statement 2 is not correct thereby meaning the car is in box 2

trishluvly:
The car is not in box 1, cos statement 3 implied it. The car is neither in box 2, cos statement 2 says so. If the car is neither in boxes 1 nor 2, then it's in box3, cos statement 3 didn't say whether or not the car is in box 3. #BasedonLogistics#

Very wrong my dear

None

Ifeshyne:
Only one statement is true = only statement 1 is true and that says the car is in box one, so box 1 it is.

if you say the car is in box 1 then it means that's statements 1 and 2 are true because we can have only one true statement.
I think the car is in box 2 and only statement 3 is true.

correct

namuguibe:
Sir, the car is in box 2.
Statements 1 & 2 are false.
Statement 3 is true.

MARX77:
The car is not in any of the boxes

very correct

study the clause attached closely before making a choice

trishluvly:
The car is not in box 1, cos statement 3 implied it. The car is neither in box 2, cos statement 2 says so. If the car is neither in boxes 1 nor 2, then it's in box3, cos statement 3 didn't say whether or not the car is in box 3. #BasedonLogistics#

(3) the car is not in box 1

emror4u:
correct

thanks, you brought something fun to NL FP.

thanks to BP for initiating it...
you're welcome man

namuguibe:
thanks, you brought something fun to NL.

The car is in box two, statement 1 and 2 are false so since statement 3 says it's not in box 1 it means it's in box 2

The car is in box 2


If the car were in box 1, then the statements on box 1 and 2 would both be correct, so it can't be in box 1.

If the car were in box 3, then the statements on boxes 2 and 3 would be correct, so it can't be in box 3 either.

Apply the theory that the car is in box 2, and the only true statement is that of box 3, meaning the car has to be in the second box.

neoapocalypse:



Very wrong my dear

Answer please?

STATEMENT 1 IS TRUE
STATEMENT 2 IS FALSE
STATEMENT 3 IS FALSE

BASED ON LOGIC

TTT =T
TTF=F
TFT=T
TFF=F
FFF=T

SINCE TFF = F, THEREFORE ALL THE STATEMENTS ARE NOT TRUE I.E. THERE IS NO CAR IN THE BOXES.

It's box 2 of course.

It's either in box 2 or box 3.
Higher probability of box 3. Cos box 3 only said it's not in 1 and box 2 already said it's not in it itself. So what I does box 3 said about itself? Nothing! So where the car wan be again?
