Yesterday’s Problem:

In a single throw of a dice, what is the probability of getting a number greater than 4?

1] 1/2

2] 2/3

3] 1/4

4] 1/3

Answer:

4] 1/3

There are six numbers on a die. The question asks about the probability the dice will show a 5 or a 6 (a number greater than 4). Therefore: 2/6 = 1/3

Today’s Problem:

There are 3 triplet brothers. They look identical.

The oldest is John, he always tells the truth.

The second is Jack, he always tells a lie.

The third is Joe, he either tells the truth or a lie.

Jimmie Dean went to visit them one day. He was wondering who was who. So he asked each person a question. He asked the one who was sitting on the left:

“Who is the guy sitting in the middle?”.

The answer was “He is John.”

He asked the one who was sitting in the middle: “What is your name?”.

The answer was “I am Joe.”

He asked the one who was sitting on the right:

“What is the guy sitting in the middle?”.

The answer was “He is Jack.“

Jimmie Dean got really confused. Basically, he asked 3 same questions, but he got 3 different answers. Which of the following statements is not true?

1] left most is Joe

2] middle is Jack

3] right is John

4] middle is John
