Who took the scooter
A scooter has vanished from the hallway. Lucky is sure: “Schulz took it.” Schulz: “I didn’t.” Boba: “Neither did I.” Only one of the three told the truth. Who took the scooter?
Answer: Boba. If Schulz took it, Lucky and Boba are both right: two. If Lucky did, Schulz and Boba are right: two again. If Boba did, only Schulz is right: Lucky is mistaken and Boba lied. One option fits, and no wonder Boba is whistling so carefully.
