Brain Teasers
Diagony and Allumup
Someone is a diagony if all they say is a lie; likewise, someone is an allumup if all they say is the truth.
You have three friends (Fynudi, Mortimer, and Chloe) and you want to know whether or not Fynudi is a diagony. You ask him and he answers the question, but you are unable to hear him because he mumbled the answer. But the person next to Fynudi (Mortimer) screams, "He said that he was a diagony!" and the person next to Mortimer (Chloe) said, "Mortimer, you are lying."
Now the question is, what is Chloe?

Hint
What did Fynudi say?Answer
Chloe is an allumup.You can find this by simple logic. First of all, you know that Fynudi said that he is an allumup (he would never say that he is a diagony, because he would lie about it). So then you know that Mortimer is lying, which shows that Chloe is telling the truth, making her an allumup.
