Question

RIDDLE TIME!!!! DON'T CHEAT. ACTUALLY TRY PLZ!!!!

A group of campers has been on vacation so long, that they've forgotten the day of the week. The following conversation ensues.

Darryl: What's the day? I don't think it is Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.

Tracy: Well that doesn't narrow it down much. Yesterday was Sunday.

Melissa: Yesterday wasn't Sunday, tomorrow is Sunday.

Ben: The day after tomorrow is Saturday.

Adrienne: The day before yesterday was Thursday.

Susie: Tomorrow is Saturday.

David: I know that the day after tomorrow is not Friday.

If only one person's statement is true, what day of the week is it?

Answer 1

its Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

Tracy thinks its Monday

Melissa thinks its Saturday

Ben thinks its Thursday

Adrienne thinks its Saturday

Suzie thinks its Friday

Darryl thinks it's either Sunday, Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday

David thinks its either Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

Three people think its Saturday so that option is ruled out since they can't all be right

Monday is also ruled out because if its Monday, that means Tracy, David and Darryl are right and that can't happen

Thursday is ruled out because if it is Thursday, both David and Ben are right and that can't happen

Friday is ruled out because Suzie and David can't both be right

Tuesday is out because both Darryl and David think it could be Tuesday

Sunday is also out because Darryl and David think it could be Sunday

That leaves Wednesday and that is the day of the week since only one person's statement (Darryl's) was right.
