Can you solve this story riddle?
“I’m puzzled,” said Lady Ashton to Sherlock Holmes. “One of my four servants has stolen my gold bracelet. I’ve questioned each of them, but I’m still none the wiser. Branson, the butler, said that Smythe, the gardener did it, while Mary, the maid, said Smythe had told her Branson did it. Smythe told me Branson did it, and Wilson, the handyman, said he knew which one was the thief but he did not wish to say.” Lady Ashton sighed, then continued, “I’ve known Branson and Smythe for many years and I’ve never known either of them to tell the truth.”
Sherlock Holmes smiled as he filled his pipe. “Assuming that the butler and the gardener have not changed their ways, and that Mary and Wilson are telling the truth, it is quite a simple task to deduce which one of them is the thief,” said Holmes.
Can you work out which one of the staff stole the bracelet?
If Branson never tells the truth, then his statement that “Smythe, the gardener did it” is false. So, Smythe, gardener can be eliminated.
If Smythe never tells the truth, then his statement that, “Branson did it” is false. So, Branson can be eliminated.
This leaves the two truth-tellers as the only possible culprits. We can suppose the question posed is, “Who stole my bracelet?” If Wilson always tells the truth and he stole it, he would have to have admitted it or give another true answer. His true answer was that he knew who was the thief but did not wish to say. When Mary was questioned, if she did not know who stole the bracelet, she would have to tell that truth. So, Mary knew who stole the bracelet. If anyone other than Mary stole the bracelet, she would have to tell that truth as well. But, Mary named none of the others as the thief. Instead, her truthful statement was to repeat what Smythe had told her. So, I believe Mary was the thief.
