Logical Riddle: Is The Third Statement True or False?

by

Use your logical skills to solve this riddle.


  1. Tanya is older than Eric.
  2. Cliff is older than Tanya.
  3. Eric is older than Cliff.

If the first two statements are known to be true, then what about the third statement?

Is it true or false?


Answer:

Because we know that the first two statements are true, we can conclusively deduct that Eric is the youngest of the three, so the third statement which says Eric is older than Cliff has to be false.
