There were two men walking around on a deserted island with no food or water. One of the men got so hungry that he killed and ate the other man. No one discovered his secret and he never told anyone. Who is the murderer?
Common Wrong Answers
“The man who was killed”
The man who was killed cannot be the murderer since he is dead and cannot commit the act of murder.
“A third person”
There are only two men on the deserted island, so there cannot be a third person involved in the murder.
“The man who ate the other man”
While the man who ate the other is indeed the murderer, the phrasing of the riddle implies that the speaker is the one revealing the secret, thus making 'I' the murderer.
