Just to keep these running and not let them be forgotten in the past.
But another question: where the hell is Sayumi ?!?!?!?!? She also disappeared from the Mathematical Thinking, perhaps she´s got a lot of work ... but well, the ones that are still in this logical problems are ayw and S.H.
Let´s see ...
Five competitors -- A, B, C, D, and E -- enter a swimming race that awards gold, silver, and bronze medals to the first three to complete it. Each of the following compound statements about the race is false, although one of the two clauses in each may be true.
â—¦A didn't win the gold, and B didn't win the silver.
â—¦D didn't win the silver, and E didn't win the bronze.
â—¦C won a medal, and D didn't.
â—¦A won a medal, and C didn't.
â—¦D and E both won medals.
Who won each of the medals?
