# The Missing Cookie Mystery

**By EdwardRoschach** · 2025-03-01

Ben, Alice, and Charlie were in the kitchen. Mom found the cookie jar empty.

-   Alice: “Ben ate the cookies!”
    
-   Ben: “I didn’t do it!”
    
-   Charlie: “Alice is lying!” Only one of them is telling the truth. Who ate the cookies? **Answer:** Ben! If Alice is telling the truth, then Ben and Charlie must be lying, which makes sense!
