Who Stole the Ice Cream? ?During an investigation into the mysterious disappearance of ice-cream from a Mr. Softee truck, the following statements were made by the prime suspects. ?
Alan: I wouldn't steal ice-cream unless Carl helped me. ?
Bill: Me? Steal ice-cream?
Of course not! I'm too honest for that. Besides, I hate the stuff. ?
Carl: If I stole it then either Alan or Bill was in it too. ?Dave: Neither Carl nor I were involved. ?
Given that exactly one of the four suspects is lying, and that exactly two of them were involved in the theft, determine who stole the ice-cream and who is lying.
