- Contains a pawn
Day 1
Blue Box: This box is blue (True) White Box: The gems are in a true box (?) Black Box: This box is black (True & don’t crack)
Reasoning: Blue and Black box cannot be false. Thus, White box must be the false one, which implies that the gems are not in a true box. Thus, the gems are in the white box.
Day 2
Blue Box: All three boxes contain gems White Box: The other two boxes contain gems Black Box: This box contains a gem
Reasoning:
- Blue is False: not all 3 boxes contain gems, either white or black is for sure true. White True: both blue and black have gems. Black True: Only black has gems. Since only one box can have a prize, black is the right one.
- White is False: the other two boxes do not contain gems. This implies either Blue or Black are true, which cannot happen.
- Black is False: Black does not have a gem. This implies either Black or White are true, which cannot happen.
Day 3
Blue Box: This is the Black Box. White Box: This is the Black Box. Black Box: The Black Box is not empty.
Reasoning: Are white and blue telling the truth? It doesn’t seem like it. If we take white and blue as false, then Black must be the true one. Since it claims that black is not empty, I’m going to assume it’s the (actual) black box.
Day 4
Blue Box: The gems are not in the white box White Box: The gems are not in this box Black Box: The gems are in this box
Reasoning:
-
Blue is False: gems are in the white box. This means that the white box is also false, meaning the black box must be true. This cannot be as the gems can only be in one box, and white being false implies that the gems are in white too.
-
White is False: implies blue is also false. This also means that black is the true box, which again can’t happen as the gems cannot be in two places at once.
-
Black is False: the gems are not in black.
- Blue is True: the gems are in the blue box
- White is True: the gems are in the blue box
-
Blue is True: gems are not in the white box, making white true and black false. This tells us nothing.
-
White is true, blue is also true, and black is false. This tells us nothing
-
Black is true, Blue is true and white is true. This cannot happen.
-
The gems must be in the blue box, as this is the only possible case.
Day 5
Blue Box: You are in the parlor White Box: This box is empty Black Box: The blue box is true
Reasoning: Blue is obviously true, which means black is definitely true. That must mean white is false, and that it is not empty.

Blue Box: The black box contains gems White Box: This box and the blue box are empty Black Box: All three boxes are empty

Day 7
Blue Box: The statement on the white box is true. White Box: There is a second wind-up key in this room. Black Box: This box and the white box are both empty.
