Your answer was Greg
Correct!
We need to find the 1 lie among the 4 statements.
To do this, we should find statements that contradict each other.
But before that, there’s a statement that doesn’t contradict anyone. Beatrice, Our lady in pink makes a benign statement that is safe to assume as the truth. Narrowing down the potential pool of lies.
If we look at Greg’s statement first, he says “I did not leave the dining carriage”. If we assume this to be the truth then that means Humboldt’s statement “I saw a bald man leaving the dinging carriage through the back”, would have to be the lie we are looking for. But, this also means Ulysses’ “Mister Humble had eyes on the back of the carriage and saw Greg leave” would also be a lie.
There is only one false statement, so this scenario does not add up.
If Greg’s statement was false, then Humboldt was correct when he said he saw him leave, Beatrice would be correct when she says she had a good meal, and Ulysses would be correct when they say Humboldt saw Greg leave at the back.
Greg is the liar. He did leave the carriage.
The eighth and final part of the Case Code is: R
