Question 1180159: Three basketball players named Badje, Enrico, and Rodel are walking to the basketball court. Badje,
he best player of the three, always tells the truth. Enrico sometimes tells thel truth, while Rodel,
the worst player, always lies. The first person said that the guy in the middle is Rodel. The
second person said that he is Enrico. The third person said that the guy in the middle is
Badje. Determine who is the first, second, and the third guy?
Answer by htmentor(1343)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Badje always tells the truth. Suppose he were the 3rd person. The 3rd person says the guy in the middle is Badje.
But since he always tells the truth, Badje couldn't be the 3rd person. Suppose he were the 2nd person.
The 2nd person says the one in the middle is Enrico. Again if Badje always
tells the truth he couldn't be the 2nd person either.
This means the 1st person must be Badje. Badje, the 1st person, says the guy
in the middle is Rodel, which he must be since Badje always tells the truth.
That leaves Enrico for the 3rd position.
Order: Badje, Rodel, Enrico
