Brain Teasers
Red or Blue
Was the robber's car red or blue? Read the story to see if you can figure it out:
The police already knew the getaway car was red or blue. Luckily, Charlie saw the robbery and was able to tell them. Charlie's brother later told some friends what had happened. "Charlie said the car was blue," he said. The problem is that one brother always tells the truth, but we don't know which. The other always tells lies.
