Brain Teasers
Two Attackers
Four people are found in an alley after reported fighting. Two people are victims, while the other two are the attackers. The attackers are lying and the victims are telling the truth. Based on that information, who were the two attackers?
TJ: Drake beat me up.
Jake: I saw RJ getting attacked.
Drake: TJ beat me up.
RJ: I saw Jake getting attacked.
TJ: Drake beat me up.
Jake: I saw RJ getting attacked.
Drake: TJ beat me up.
RJ: I saw Jake getting attacked.
Answer
Since TJ and Drake are accusing each other, then one or both of them is an attacker. If Jake was an attacker, then he's lying that RJ was attacked, which means RJ is also an attacker. That's impossible since there would be more than two attackers. Jake must be telling the truth. Since Jake is truthful, then RJ is also truthful and innocent, which only leaves TJ and Drake as attackers.Answer: TJ and Drake
