Oddfool's Mindtrap #108 (Edited 08/28/11 11:18AM by Oddfool)
What are MindTrap type questions you ask?

Ideally they're questions that cause you to think in an unconventional manner - outside the box if you will.

MindTrap questions usually involve a riddle, a mystery, or a play on words that will require some kind of lateral thinking on your part. The questions and mysteries are written in a way to try and trip you up. The fun thing about playing MindTrap is that they really show us how we think and arrive at conclusions.

"That Abdullah is one rich Arab." muttered Ali Buba.

"As a matter of fact, he owns 100 or more camels."

"Not a chance," replied Ishmael, "I know for certain he owns fewer than 100 camels." 

Farouk joined in, "Well let us put it this way, he owns at least one camel."

If only one of their statements is true, how many camels does Abdullah own?

Well, if one guy is certain that abdulla owns less than 100 camels, and one guy knows he owns at LEAST one camel, then its safe to say that the answer is 312 camels.

 Zero

If it's zero, then he does NOT own 100 or more camels, and he does NOT own at least one camel. However, he does own fewer than 100 camels.

 They aren't even talking about the same Abdulla...or Abdullah (you spelled it both ways) because there are so many.



PS. I read Ali Buba as Ali Booba, btw.

 Official Answer is...  Abdullah doesn't own any camels.  If the first statement is true, the so is the last statement, which cannot be since there is only one true statement. Also if the last statement is true, then so is the second statement.  Since know that two statements cannot be correct, we can disregard both the first and the third statements.  This leaves us with only the middle statement.  If Abdullah owns any camels at all, it will make the third statement correct, so the only number camels that Abdullah can own is zero.
