Question

A gold coin is in one of the following three boxes, each of which has an inscription written on it as follows:

box A - "the coin is in here"

box B - "the coin is not in here"

box C - "the coin is not in A"

Can you tell where the coin is if, at most, only one of the inscriptions is true?

If the coin is in A, A is true and B is true, so the coin is not in A, since only one, at most can be true.

If the coin is in C, C would be true, but so would B. The coin is not in C.

If the coin is in B, only C is true. This must be where the coin is.

oh nooooooooo, same puzzle was posted by rookie1ja.

im sorry i searched for this before but i didnt find it. because rookie's description of puzzles is completely different from mine.

A tip that may help you (and others)...If you want to post a riddle/puzzle that is not unique, meaning you saw or heard it elsewhere, and you can't find it in a search...take a quick scan in the 'Old Brain Teasers' section..Puzzles and Riddles forum...Logic Puzzles and Logic Problems subforums (only like 3 pages worth) there is where alot of repeated posts of common puzzles are. Otherwise you may have to try different keywords in your search I geuss.

No problem, this is a good one. I have posted at least 2 of these - Pandora's Box I and II.
