Find the winners - One puzzle a day - Puzzle Buddies

Puzzle: John and Doe were excitedly describing the result of the Third Annual International Science Fair Extravaganza in Sweden. There were three contestants, Michael, David, and Peter. John reported that Michael won the fair, while David came in second. Doe, on the other hand, reported that Peter won the fair, while Michael came in second.

In fact, neither John nor Doe had given a correct report of the results of the science fair. Each of them had given one correct statement and one false statement. What was the actual placing of the three contestants?

Note: Don't forget to visit us again. Answer to the puzzle will be posted tomorrow.


Solution: Peter won, David came in second and Michael came in last.


Winner: Today's winners are Subodh Singh and DJ

  2. Who the hell names there kid Doe?

    Thats got to be a mistake in the story. I can believe "John Doe", not "John" and "Doe".

    Peter was the "Apostle"
    David from "David and Goliath"
    Michael the "Archangel"

    Therefore, "John Doe" = "Jesus"
    "International Science Fair Extravaganza" = "Eternal Salvation"
