Got this from a book I had fun with a few years ago.
This one isn't too hard.
Aaron, Brian, and Colin are studying Chemistry and Physics.
Aaron says truthfully:
1. Only one of us is smart
2. If I am not smart, I will not pass Chemistry.
Brian says truthfully:
3. The smart man is the only man not to pass one of the two subjects. (Clarification: This does not mean the not-smart guys passed both subjects and the smart guy failed one. This means that one of the subjects, not telling which, was passed by both non-smart guys and failed by the smart guy... weird right?)
