PUZZLE 3
Who is who? Sept. 25-29
Time for
MATH MINUTE! (your theme music here).
Get
out your paper & pencil, because I have a new puzzle for you!
--------------------------------------------------
Math
comes in all kinds of form.
Here
is a puzzle for everyone, keep trying and you will figure it out!
Three
guys are sitting on a fence.
Their
names are Manny, Moe and Mack, but we never met them,
so which one is which?
However,
everyone in these parts knows that:
Manny
always tells the truth,
Moe
sometimes tells the truth,
and
Mack never tells the truth.
Suppose
the one on the left says:
-
the guy in the middle is Manny,
and
the one in the middle says:
-
hi, my name is Moe,
and
the one on the right says:
-
the guy in the middle is Mack.
Who
is sitting where?
Can
you name the guy on the left, the one in the middle,
and the one on the right?
Have
fun! – and keep thinking math!
