Then never mind.
That is not true.
Then never mind.
You are wrong, because It is true. You just do not know it, because you have not solved the riddle. Try to solve it and post again after you have solved it.

D: “Today is not Monday, not Tuesday, and not Wednesday.”
E: “I am sure that yesterday was Thursday.”
F: “No, yesterday was Tuesday.”
G: “All I know is, that yesterday was not Saturday.”[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
If only one statement is true, on which weekday was that conversation?

Another try at the 100 pessimists
[tab]Each sentence invalidates itself, so at any given time, only 1 sentence is incorrect. So at end 99 correct, 1 wrong.[/tab]
100 Pessimists.
100 pessimists have written 100 senntences on a sheet of paper. Each pessimist has written 1 sentence. The 100 sentences are numbered from 1 to 100. The first pessimist has written: “Exactly one sentence on this sheet is wrong.”. The second pessimist has written: “Exactly two sentences on this sheet are wrong.”. … And so on. Which sentences are wrong, which right?
My answer
[tab]All of them are right[/tab]
Hint
[tab]The first typo is something to pay attention to[/tab]
Another hint
[tab]I like this one a lot[/tab]
Five persons A, B, C, D and E chat:
[list][list][list][list][list]A: “B lies if and only if D is telling the truth.”
B: “If C is telling the truth, then either A or D is a liar.”
C: “E lies, and also A or B lie.”
D: “If B is telling the truth, then A or C too.”
E: “Among the persons A, C and D is at least one liar.”[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
Two persons are lying. Which?
[tab]You are lying.[/tab]
Rationale
[tab]A+E and B+E are two acceptable options. If only you are lying there are less liars.[/tab]

Incorrect, all your solutions are incorrect.

While reading I was influenced by my wishful thinking size=200[/size], because I wished very much (too much!) that you solved the riddle. But, unfortunately, you did not solve the riddle, and I became sad.
Please try again.

[tab]each sentence invalidates itself, therefore they are all false[/tab]
Please?

Hey, are you sure? You give up, Phoneutria?
[tab]
phoneutria:dude 99 is correct
Do you mean that the sentence of the 99th person is correct? And if so: Why is the sentence of the 99th person correct? And what about the other persons? Please give a rationale why the sentence of the 99th person is correct and what about the other persons and why.[/tab]
