I feel a bit silly, but I can't figure out level 12. Any hints would really be appreciated! I've tried everything with those book measurements...

[mouthybrat]

I'd love to help you on 15...but I'm still stuck on 11!!!!! I don't want to try trial and error...that's too much typing!!! arrrgggghhh!!!

[leapfrog]

Which one is it?

[mouthybrat]

the book with

1000 lying pages????

[Crimsonthread]

Work it out with logic, not trial and error.

If all the pages but one are lying, figure out which one isn't. It can't be the last page, because then ALL the pages would be lying.

[leapfrog]

Well...

Page 1000 is true, which means 1000 pages can't all be lying because he is telling the truth

[mouthybrat]

sorry...gotta give up for now...still not getting 11...

[Jeral]

leapfrog, your logic is incorrect. Take it this way.

There are 1000 pages in the book. If 1000 pages are lying, that would include the 1000th page. But if the 1000th page is telling the truth, then there cannot be 1000 pages lying.
There is only 1 page that tells the truth.
