Sorry, rdsrds2120, but b.ihde is correct. I never said it had to be a matching pair.

If A says that B lies, and B says that C lies, and C says that A and B are both lieing, then who could be telling the truth?
(HINT: some boolean logic would help)

Depending on how you look at it either B or C could be lying.

To answer Gabehabes question - Pull the stopper out of the sink, and allow the water to drain.

Correct. :)

Never played curious village before, but OK. Sounds like a fun game. Well, I got it from my grandpa anyways. Well, in that case, heres another easier one.

The first 9 letters of the alphabet are randomized. Which order are they in?

E behind I, C and F. H behind F and in front of G, D and B. F in front of E, H and D. G behind D, A and C. I behind C and in front of G ,B and A. D in front of B and E. B behind G, I and H. C in front of F, G and H. A behind C and in front of D, B and H. G behind E and F. F in front of I and B. D behind I, C and A.

What is the order of the letters from left to right? (ex: if A comes before B, order : A, then B )

Guess I should post a riddle now that I actually have a chance.

In the States, I am said to contain a man,
But in Japan, I am said to contain a rabbit.
I can pull at water, but have no hands.
I light up the sky, but have no light of my own.
Many dream of stepping on me, but few actually have.
What am I?

You can imagine an arrow in flight, toward a target. For the arrow to reach the target, the arrow must first travel half of the overall distance from the starting point to the target. Next, the arrow must travel half of the remaining distance.

For example, if the starting distance was 10m, the arrow first travels 5m, then 2.5m.

If you extend this concept further, you can imagine the resulting distances getting smaller and smaller. Will the arrow ever reach the target?

According to mathematics, it would approach 0 and this oftentimes is enough to say that it would = 0 and therefore reach its destination.
