Fish Thief is a puzzle in Professor Layton and the Curious Village.
Puzzle
When you weren't looking, someone came by and gobbled up your fish dinner. The three brothers near the scene of this dastardly crime had this to say:
A: "Me? Oh yeah, I ate it. It was good too!"
B: "I saw A eat that fish right up!"
C: "B and I didn't eat that fish."
One of these three brothers is lying to you, but which one is it?
Hints
Solution
Incorrect
Too bad!
Remember, you're looking for the liar in the bunch, not the person who ate your fish.
Correct
The liar here is C. A and C split your dinner and each ate half.
The answer becomes clear when you realize that if A is lying, B must be lying as well. The same thing happens when you assume that B is the liar. Therefore, the only possible answer is that C is lying, a scenario that only works if C actually did eat some of the fish.
