On Tyrus Paladium's Girlfriends
Yesterday I have posted the following puzzle:
Malric Inferno, Alric Stormbringer and Zintar Mortalis have met in the bar. Tyrus Paladium has just left with a beautiful Elf woman. Three pints of Frozen Gold Ale! – ordered Alric. Malric says: Tyrus has at least four girlfriends. Alric throws: No, Tyrus has less than four girlfriends. Zintar nods: Tyrus has at least one girlfriend.
Only one of the three summoners is right. How many girlfriends does Tyrus possess?
The answer
If number of girlfriends would be four or more, both Malric and Zintar would be right, what violates condition that only one is right.
If number of girlfriends would be one, two, or three, both Alric and Zintar would be right, which again violates the condition.
Therefore Tyrus has no girlfriends at all and Only Alric is right.
