BRAIN TEASER:
There are three boxes on a table. One of the box contains Gold and the other two are
empty. A printed message is there in each box. One of the messages is true and the
other two are lies.
The first box says 'The Gold is not here'.
The Second box says 'The Gold is not here'.
The Third box says 'The Gold is in the Second box'.
Which box has the Gold?
Solution
As the message contains one truth, the third says that the gold is in the second box, if
it is to be true, then the first box message will also become true. So Gold cannot be in
second and third boxes. Gold is in the first box.
