A girl has moved into the house of her boyfriend and his mother. One night, there's a fire, and one member of the house is killed. Another member of the house is almost killed, but is rescued by the remaining member of the house. Who died, and who was rescued, and who was the rescuer? We know that:
1. The person who was rescued was older than the person who died.
2. The rescuer and the youngest person were of different genders.
3. The rescuer was younger than the person who was rescued.
4. The girl was older than her boyfriend.
@toughcookie,
This cant be solved.
One has to assume the girl friend is younger than the mother. Then the girl rescues the mother and the boyfriend dies.
If the girlfriend is older than the mother, then the mother rescues the girl.
@Ionus,
You are right, I'm sorry. I assumed you would take it for granted that his mother was older than his girlfriend. I should have mentioned it. That was a bit of a bias on my part.
So yes, the girl rescues her boyfriend's mother, and her boyfriend dies.
Well done.
