010. [anon | text]
Let's play the part of anonymous poster to make things more interesting for the evening.
A puzzle to keep you entertained, Thor:
A valuable painting was stolen from the Liars' Club, but the police are having a hard time identifying the culprit because every statement made by a member of the Liars' Club is false. Only four members visited the club on the day that the painting was stolen. This is what they told the police:
* Ann: None of us took the painting. The painting was here when I left.
* Bob: I arrived second. The painting was already gone.
* Chuck: I was the third to arrive. The painting was here when I arrived.
* Tom: Whoever stole the painting arrived before me. The painting was already gone.
Which of the four liars stole the painting?
All a simple process of reasoning and elimination, and not nearly as convoluted as it may seem at first.
((ooc: Yeah, whatever, Sherlock. If you think your character would be able to figure out the puzzle but logic makes your brain hurt (like it does mine), then the answer is here. All responses from Sherlock are going to be anonymous text because he's bored, as usual.))
