Re: Logic Problem
Yes, that's why the original wording threw me off so much.
I thought that the fact that NOT all the statements are true, and NOT all the statements are false, would eliminate 9 of the 10 possible numbers (i.e. they would all have to be true or all have to be false for all incorrect answers).
However - a better way to look at the problem is not to guess the actual number, but to try to evaluate each statement. You'll see alot of contradictions arise; if this is true then this has to be false; if A and B are true, then C has to be false, but then D has to be true, and E has to be false, but that makes A false - thus this combination of T/F's does not make sense. Just giving some examples... from my analysis if you look at it carefully enough, only one combination of true/false assignments makes sense logically - and the number is derived from those statements.
