A Riddle.............................?

Question

Which of the following statements are true?

1. At least one of these ten statements is false.
2. At least two of these ten statements are false.
3. At least three of these ten statements are false.
4. At least four of these ten statements are false.
5. At least five of these ten statements are false.
6. At least six of these ten statements are false.
7. At least seven of these ten statements are false.
8. At least eight of these ten statements are false.
9. At least nine of these ten statements are false.
10. At least ten of these ten statements are false.

More than one can be true. Which ones are true?

If they are all true then the statement at least 10 are false can not be true. If they are all false, then the statement at least 10 are false is true. They can not be all true or all false.

Answer 1

6,7 8 9 and 10 are all false as they are self contraductory and hence 1,2,3,4,5 are true.


reason if 6 is true then 1,2,3,4,5 also will have to be true because of the word atleast in each of them. for example if "atleast 2 are wrong" is a true statement then the statement "atleast 1is wrong" is also true

but 6 states that there are atleast 6 wrong statements

but from above 6 statements are true,

if 6 was a true statement there would have to be 6 correct statements aswell 6 false statements in the 10 which is impossible.

similar arguments can show that 7,8 9,and 10 are self contradictory

and hence there are atleast 5 false statements.


very good question!

Answer 3

Answer 5

The statement that something is false is a true statement. All 10 are true statements that all are false. So 10.

Answer 6

1 is the only one that is true because it is saying that a minimum of one of these ten statement is false.
