Handel has been killed and Beethoven is on the case. He has
interviewed the four suspects and their statements are shown
below. Each suspect has said two sentences. One sentence of each
suspect is a lie and one sentence is the truth. Help Beethoven
figure out who the killer is.
Joplin: I did not kill Handel. Either Grieg is the killer or none
of us is.
Grieg: I did not kill Handel. Gershwin is the killer.
Strauss: I did not kill Handel. Grieg is lying when he says
Gershwin is the killer.
Gershwin: I did not kill Handel. If Joplin did not kill him, then
Grieg did.
Strauss is the one who
killed Handel.
You need to take turns assuming someone is the killer; that means
everyone's second sentence is a lie. If Joplin was the killer,
Grieg's lie mixed with Strauss' counteracts the other. If Grieg was
the killer, Gershwin would need to be a killer too. If Gershwin was
the killer, Grieg and Strauss counter each other again, but with
Strauss, everything would fit.
