    I love logical thinking problems..keeps ya on your toes. Here's another.

    "There are two children on the beach, a boy and a girl.
    The blonde says 'I am a girl.'
    The black headed says 'I am a boy.'
    At least one is lying.
    What is the gender of the blonde?"

    yeah but either could be lying, so they could be 2 boys or 2 girls.

    Actually it says at least 1 is lying, so both could be lying. In which case the blonde would be a boy.

    There are 5 houses in 5 different colours. In each house lives a person of a different nationality. The 5 owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar, and keep a certain pet. Using the clues below can you determine who owns the fish?
    The Brit lives in a red house.
    The Swede keeps dogs as pets.
    The Dane drinks tea.
    The green house is on the immediate left of the white house.
    The green house owner drinks coffee.
    The person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds.
    The owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill.
    The man living in the house right in the middle drinks milk.
    The Norwegian lives in the first house.
    The man who smokes Blend lives next door to the one who keeps cats.
    The man who keeps horses lives next door to the man who smokes Dunhill.
    The owner who smokes Blue Master drinks beer.
    The German smokes Prince.
    The Norwegian lives next to the blue house.
    The man who smokes Blend has a neighbour who drinks water.

    Kinza and Logik666 you're right. The gender of the blonde is male because it says at least one is lying. If one is lying then they both are, great job.
