Question 1101556: Please help me solve this! Anything helps!
One of the six members of a company's board of directors was suspected if sleeping during a board meeting. It was known that only one board member had actually slept, but no one (except the six members) knew who it was. The company vice president questioned the members and they made the following statements:
Davis: The snoozer was either Rawls or Charlton
Rawls: Neither Vongy nor I was asleep.
Charlton: Both Rawls and Davis are lying.
Bobbins: Only one of the Rawls or Davis is telling the truth.
Vongy: Both Rawls and Davis are telling the truth
Edwards: The snoozer is lying
When the board chairperson (she was not questioned and known to tell the truth) was consulted, she said that three of the board members always tell the truth and three of them always lie. She also said that Davis and Edwards can be counted on to do the opposite things- when one tells the truth, then the other one lies. Who slept in the meeting?
