Is the frong 'dead' in the middle, or 'dead in the middle'? Cos if he's dead, he can't swim.

During a recent police investigation, Chief Inspector Stone was interviewing five local villains to try and identify who stole Mrs Archer's cake from the mid-summers fayre. Below is a summary of their statements:

    Arnold: it wasn't Edward
             it was Brian

    Brian:   it wasn't Charlie
             it wasn't Edward

    Charlie: it was Edward
             it wasn't Arnold

    Derek:   it was Charlie
             it was Brian

    Edward: it was Derek
             it wasn't Arnold

It was well known that each suspect told exactly one lie. Can you determine who stole the cake?]]> Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:59:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18480&PID=421018&title=brain-teasers#421018 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18480&PID=420971&title=brain-teasers#420971 Author: Glow
