xkcd presents a tough logic puzzle.
I’ve done my best to make the wording as precise and unambiguious as possible (after working through the explanation with many people), but if you’re confused about anything, please let me know. A word of warning: The answer is not simple. This is an exercise in serious logic, not a lateral thinking riddle. There is not a quick-and-easy answer, and really understanding it takes some effort.
