But wouldn't 1 mean that all of them could be true, while 9 means only 1 other can be correct? I don't even know any more :frown: Why do such questions come at early hours :frown:

I don't see how 9 can be right... if at least 9 of the statements are false (which is true if #9 is true) then by definition #s1-8 are all true making it wrong :lol:

I don't think there's an answer..

EDIT I understand now, yeah it is 9 :yep:

EDIT im confused :confused: :lol:

One of the statements has to be true. Therefore by using statement number 9, at least 9/10 are false, leaving one of them to be true..?
