I came accross this puzzle today (in a puzzle book surprisingly) and thought that it was fun:
Four suspects - Jack Vicious, Sid Shifty, Alf Muggins and Jim Pouncer - are being interviewed at the scene of a murder. Each of the suspects is asked a question. Their answers are as follows:
Jack Vicious: "Sid Shifty committed the murder."
Sid Shifty: "Jim Pouncer committed the murder."
Alf Muggins: "I didn't commit the murder."
Jim Pouncer: "Sid Shifty is lying."
Only one of the four answers is the truth. Who committed the murder?

well only jim can be telling the truth, so its alf?
i give up and think you should just tell us *nods convincingly*
Richard's right - it's Alf :p
im awesome. i had a q kind of like that in sec1 umat
Hmm...in that case maybe I'll put a few more up, they're fun. There's quite a few UMAT-y ones in the book, including some section three types.
ah, section three, of COURSE =P hahaha. but alf eh? i see how your method works now...
