Whodunnit Daily — Answer for July 13, 2026
Today's case: The Stolen Recipe. The chef's secret recipe leaked the morning of the contest. 3 cooks worked the kitchen. A hint first, then the culprit and the full reasoning. Tap the blacked-out box to reveal.
The statements
- Leo: “Omar is innocent.”
- Abe: “It was Leo.”
- Omar: “It was Abe.”
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: Abe
Why (step by step)
Suppose Abe did it, then test every statement against the rules. Leo said “Omar is innocent.” — true — and since the innocent never lie, that fits. Abe said “It was Leo.” — that claim collapses to false, and only the culprit lies — consistent. Omar said “It was Abe.” — that holds up, and an innocent person tells the truth — consistent. No other suspect can take the blame without making an innocent lie, so the deduction closes on a single name: Abe. That is the one and only consistent culprit.
