Whodunnit Daily — Answer for June 30, 2026
Today's case: The Faked Alibi. Someone clocked in for a shift they never worked. 3 workers shared the timecard rack. A hint first, then the culprit and the full reasoning. Tap the blacked-out box to reveal.
The statements
- Will: “It was Pia.”
- Milo: “Pia is innocent.”
- Pia: “Milo is telling the truth.”
Hint
Find the statement that can't be true alongside the others. The suspect it implicates — or the one whose own claim collapses — is your liar.
The culprit
Guilty: Will
Why (step by step)
Suppose Will did it, then test every statement against the rules. Will said “It was Pia.” — that statement is a lie, which is precisely the tell of the guilty suspect. Milo said “Pia is innocent.” — that is TRUE, which is exactly what an innocent suspect must say — fine. Pia said “Milo is telling the truth.” — checks out as true, matching an innocent’s honest account — consistent. All 3 statements stay consistent only when Will is the liar. Test any other suspect and the truth/lie pattern breaks somewhere, so Will is the unique solution.
