RJ: It wasn't Kate
Which two are guilty?
Connor: It wasn't Jay
Jay: It was Kate and Connor
Kate: It was Toparnis
Toparnis: It was I
RJ: It wasn't Kate
Which two are guilty?
Answer
If Jay is telling the truth, then Kate and Connor are guilty. Jay would also have to be guilty if he's telling the truth, but there can only be 2 guilty people. This means Jay must be lying and is innocent. Connor has to be telling the truth and is guilty. Since Jay is lying, it can't be Kate because that would result in Jay telling the truth. Since Kate is innocent, RJ must be telling the truth and is the other guilty one.Answer: Connor and RJ
