I gave Terrance a problem. One of the words listed below is my secret word.
AIM DUE MOD OAT TIE
With this list in front of him, I told him that if I give him any one letter of my secret word, he could tell me the number of vowels in my secret word. Which word is my secret word?

Answer
If you were told any one of the letters of MOD you would not be able to determine whether the number of vowels in my secret word is one or two. Then my secret word cannot be AIM, DUE, MOD or OAT. Hence my secret word must be TIE.Hide Answer Show Answer
