Question of the day

Four friends left one slice of pizza in the kitchen and went into the next room to play games. During the next half hour, each friend left the room for a few minutes and then returned. At the end of the hour, all four went back into the kitchen and found that the last slice of pizza was gone.

Use the following statements to figure out who ate it. Only one of the following statements is true.

Linda: “Mike ate it.”
Mike: “Olive ate it.”
Ned: “Who me? Can’t be.”
Olive: “Mike is lying when he says I ate it.”

Yesterday’s answer:

Save yourself a lot of time by just laughing off your friend’s report. Don’t bother looking for the novel. Every professionally made book numbers its pages by using odd numerals on right-hand pages and even numerals on left-hand pages. No one could have put anything between 201 (a right-hand page) and 202 (a left-hand page)!

ACT word of the day:

cartographer (noun)

One who makes maps.

Ancient cartographers often did not visit the lands they charted, which means that many of their maps are highly unreliable.
