Shortly before the trial of Charlie Snod, the police received a mysterious note from the infamous villain Henry van Eyck. It read as follows:
‘Regarding the current case concerning Charlie Snod, here are six statements on the matter:
1. The truth is that this statement and the one after the first true statement are not both true.
2. If you add the number of the first false statement to the second true statement you get the number of a statement which is as true as number one.
3. Statement number 2 is a downright lie, I’m afraid.
4. Charlie Snod is innocent or I’m a Dutchman (or both).
5. At least half of these six statements are true.
6. My own gang was responsible for the crime.
Yours honestly,
Henry van Eyck.’
Amazingly, the logic in Henry’s note turned out to be impeccable. Whodunnit?
