      Hah a new Riddle.

      For all you ridllers out there. Heres a logic one. Pretty easy if you can put things together

      Paris, France, July 6, 1905. Chief inspector Ganimard of the Surete had been summoned to the Melamare mansion: Le Collier de la Reine (the Queen's Necklace), a magnificent array of emeralds and diamonds that had been in the Charmerace-Morisseau family for more than three generations had been stolen. Only five persons could have had access to where the jewels were on the night of the theft: Jean Daspry, a young Parisian dandy who was lately appearing much too affectionate to the Duchess of Charmerace; don Luis Perenna, grande de España y francés de corazón (Spanish grande, but French at heart) who was a guest of the Duke of Charmerace for a few days; Veronique d' Hergemont, a distant cousin of the Duchess of Charmerace who was her riding companion; Prince Renine, a Russian nobleman, constant companion of the Duke of Charmerace; and the Duke himself.

      Chief inspector Ganimard managed to get three statements from each person:

      Jean Daspry: (1) "I did not take the jewels" (2) "I don't even know where the jewels were kept.." (3) "Veronique is the guilty party."

      Prince Renine: (4) "I did not take the necklace." (5) "I have much better jewels in Petrograd." (6) "Don Luis Perenna knows who did it"

      Duke of Charmerace: (7) "Of course I did not take my wife's jewels." (8) "I did not know Luis Perenna until he came to Paris." (9) "Veronique did it."

      Veronique d'Hergemont: (10) "I am not guilty." (11) "Don Luis Perenna did it." (12) "Jean Daspry is lying when he says I stole the jewels."

      Don Luis Perenna: (13) "I did not take the necklace." (14) "Prince Renine is guilty." (15) "The Duke can vouch for me because he has known me for many years."

      It was common gossip (and possibly true) that the Duke had been experiencing economic difficulties, that Jean Daspry was heavily indebted in gambling, that Prince Renine had been naught more than a servant at the Romanov's palace, that Veronique, even if family, was very poor and had no financial means of her own, and that Don Luis Perenna's past was unknown to the Parisian circles.

      Those were the facts. Now, if we know that each person had made one, and only one, false statement, who stole the jewels?

      This is an exercise in deduction. Like you'd get in a SATS paper.

      prince renine... please don't ask me to explain it... at least that's what i got. i could be wrong... it's simple elimination but i didn't write down my thought process so i might have gotten lost along the way.

      Why is the Russian always the guilty one? They always seem to be! I think I'm offended. I'm not Russian, but I'm majoring in the language/lit so I'm currently facinated w/ all things Russian.

      I had a roommate from England (my second of 3 last year) and she talked a lot about what she didn't like in England. I guess the tax laws are deadly to the middle class. She also complained about the education system....granted she complained about a lot related to England... But she was the best roommate I had last year.
