I wished to know in which cell the prisoner was held, so I asked six prison warders. I knew that there were 20 cells in the prison.
These were their answers:
A said, "It was odd."
B said, "It was even."
C said, "It was double digits."
D said, "It had at least one number 1 in it."
E said, "It was a multiple of 3."
F said, "It was between 6 and 13."
But one had lied. Which cell is it?

Here is how you approach these kind of things. A and B are opposites so one of them must have lied. Therefore, C,D,E, and F told the truth.
It is either 7,8,9,10,11,12 (using F). Then you have 10,11,12(Using C).
Then you have 12 only left (using E). Check if D works. Yes it does. Then, who told the lie. It was A, because 12 is not odd.
Hope it helps
:)

A lied, the cell is 12 bcos it's an even number, it has double digits, it has number 1 in it, it's a multiple of 3 and finally between 6 and 13 (in the middle of 11 and 13 to be precise)

My guess would be that A lied and that the number is 12.
