Is that a good thing or a bad thing???

no where in the statements does it say that any are false. therefore all of the statements are true.
if all were true that wouldnt work
E.X. if youy say 6 of them are true you would check then it would say only 5 are true so on and so fourth. trust me on this one.

There's no criteria for what makes the statement true or false. What in logical terms takes precedence? Truth or falsity?
Your puzzle does not state "only one" or "only two"...etc. Therefore, all are correct....trust me on this one!!
I thought this was really easy, but fair play, some people obviously found it hard!
i dont understand why statement 1 is true and none of the others are could some one explain?
i agree with bluebon01, y cant any others be true?
Statement six is true, and so are all of the others.
I agree with Rows. To be absolutely correct in terms of this answer. Each line would need "Only" at the beginning of it.
Only can be inferred, it doesn't need to be added at all.
it does say only at the beginning
The problem was corrected. The problem is solved.
Oh, and nice concept.
