Whodunnit Daily — Answer for July 3, 2026
Today's case: The Swapped Medal. The gold medal in the case turned out to be a fake. 4 officials had handled it. A hint first, then the culprit and the full reasoning. Tap the blacked-out box to reveal.
The statements
- Will: “Asa is innocent.”
- Asa: “Will is telling the truth.”
- Jad: “It was Will or Asa.”
- Joss: “It was Will or Jad.”
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: Jad
Why (step by step)
Start by assuming Jad is the guilty one and follow the chain. Will said “Asa is innocent.” — that statement is true, so this person can sit on the innocent side — no conflict. Asa said “Will is telling the truth.” — that holds up, and an innocent person tells the truth — consistent. Jad said “It was Will or Asa.” — that is FALSE — and the guilty one is the single liar, so this fits. Joss said “It was Will or Jad.” — that is TRUE, which is exactly what an innocent suspect must say — fine. Every statement lines up under this assumption, so Jad is guilty. Swap in anyone else and an innocent is forced to lie (or the guilty one ends up truthful) — both forbidden — leaving Jad as the only logically consistent answer.
