Footsie
Three married couples (male / female) at a card party sit down to play. One of them can't wait to remove both shoes and make a little mischief with his (or her) neighbors. When the hostess notices a commotion at this particular table, she asks all of the players whether they had been "footsied" by a person next to them. The players names, as well as their answers to this question, are given in the figure right. We know one other fact: three of the same sex all lied, and the three of the opposite sex all told the truth. Who then is the two-footed footsier? |
