Brain Teasers
Four People
Four people are suspected of stealing a diamond from a museum. If one of each person's statements is true and one is false, who is the thief?
Bo said: It was Bo. It wasn't Roman.
Roman said: It was Kate. It wasn't Bo.
John said: It was Roman. It wasn't Kate.
Kate said: It was John. It was Bo.
Bo said: It was Bo. It wasn't Roman.
Roman said: It was Kate. It wasn't Bo.
John said: It was Roman. It wasn't Kate.
Kate said: It was John. It was Bo.
Answer
Since one of each person's statements are true, the thief was either John or Bo, since Kate accused both of them. If Roman was lying when he said it wasn't Bo, he must have been telling the truth when he said it was Kate. Since it can't be Bo and Kate, it can only be John.Answer: John
