None. If statement 3 is true, then statement 1 can also be true, and vice versa. Statement 2 can be true by itself, but only if I have no sisters.Hide Answer Show Answer

Nice teaser! Your teasers have all been pretty good so far, and I'm looking forward to a longer logic puzzle from you, because I bet it'll be a doozy!
Thanks
This was really easy, but still fun.
i thougt it woz 1 good teaser though
Fun, but 2 can still work. The puzzle says "How many sisters do I have?" Why can't it be none?
Drakar, I really don't understand what you are asking. Only one statement can be true. The only statement that can be true while the other two are false is statement 2 and that only occurs when there are no sisters.
Good teaser. Not too hard but it did make me think about it.
