The Singles Bar

While sitting in a club where all single men tell the truth and all married men lie, a woman is approached by three men. She asks the first guy if he is married, but the music is so loud that she can't hear his answer. So she turns to the second guy, who tells her, "They first guy said, 'I am married," but he really is single. Then she turns to the third guy, who says, "The second guy is single." Determine the marital status of ech of three men.

All three of the men are married.

Here's how I worked it out:

Anyone in the bar who is asked his marital status will say that he is
single. All single men tell the truth, so if you ask a single man his
marital status, he will say he is single. All married men lie, so if
you ask a married man his marital status, he, too, will say he is
single.

Since the second man claimed that the first man's answer was that he
was married, the second man is obviously lying (and is therefore
married). Remember, in this bar NOBODY can give the answer "I am
married." If the second man is lying about the marital status of the
first man, this means that the first man is married.

The third man says that the second man is single. We know that this
can't be true, since the second man is a liar. Therefore the third man
is also lying, and is also married.

thx to Google Answer...

1st guy is MARRIED
Because the second guy who is still single (not a liar) said that

2nd guy is SINGLE
Because the question maker said that "but he is REALLY is single"

3rd guy is SINGLE
Because he said the truth that the 2nd guy is single
