queensthiefI am bored, so I made a crack-logic-fic. Hopefully it's not too hard. It's totally based off a *very* common problem called Knights and Knaves. I thought it might be fun to incorporate QT characters. Hehehehe....
It is a very special day in SEA. The queen of Attolia is expecting a gift from her husband. Likewise, Eddis is expecting a gift from her sweetheart, Sophos.
Surprisingly, an attendant presents to both of them three gifts instead of two: one in a green box, the second in a red one, and the third in yellow. The unexpected one comes from Nahuseresh. The attendant does not know which of the presents are from whom, but informs the queens that there is a message on each box written by the person who sent it. Strangely, the messages are merely clues.
Both the queens know that Sophos is an honest man and would never lie. Nahuseresh is their enemy and thus cannot be trusted to say something true, and Eugenides can either lie or tell the truth.
The green one says, “So, so, so… the yellow one is from Nahuseresh.”
The red one says, “Oh my lovely queen, Sophos sends the gift in green.”
The last one says, “Duh, this one is from Gen. It’s covered in yellow, dammit. BRIGHT YELLOW!!!”
After some thinking, Attolia decides that the green one is hers. Believing that Attolia is wrong, Helen also claims that green one is for her. Exactly one queen is wrong. Which one is correct?
