A Tricky Brainteaser

This brainteaser may seem simple, but it is designed to trip you up! Here’s what you have to do:

There are three boxes and three statements. One of the boxes contains a car, and only one statement is true. Your task is to determine which box has the car.

Analyze the Clues

• If the car is in box 1, the statements under boxes 1 and 3 would be correct. However, only one statement can be correct.
• If the car is in box 3, the statements under boxes 2 and 3 would be correct. Again, only one statement can be correct.

The Solution

This means the only true statement is under box 3, so the car is in box 2!
