Bob are talking to each other. One of them is wearing a red shirt and
is wearing a blue shirt.
the blue shirt says "I am Andrew".
the red shirt says "I am Bob".
that at least one of them lied, what color shirt is Andrew wearing?

Solution Correct answer: Red


We know that at least one of them lied, so both of them could not have told the
truth.
If only the guy in the blue shirt lied, then he would be Bob, and the guy in the
red shirt would be Bob. Since neither of them are Andrew, this is not possible.
Similarly, if only the guy in the red shirt lied, then he would be Andrew, and t
he guy in the blue shirt would be Andrew. Since neither of them are Bob, this is
not possible.
This leaves us with the case that both of them are lying. Hence the buy in the b
lue shirt is Bob and the guy in the red shirt is Andrew.
