THEY ARE BOTH LYING. SCENARIO 1: IF THE CHILD WITH BROWN HAIR IS LYING, HE IS A BOY. THEN THE CHILD WITH BLOND HAIR MUST BE A GIRL SINCE THERE IS A BOY AND A GIRL AND THUS IS ALSO LYING. SCENARIO 2: IF THE CHILD WITH BROWN HAIR IS NOT LYING, THEN SHE'S A GIRL. SINCE AT LEAST ONE OF THEM IS LYING, THE CHILD WITH BLOND HAIR MUST BE LYING AND WOULD BE A GIRL ALSO, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE. SO THE ONLY POSSIBILITY IS THE SCENARIO WHERE BOTH ARE LYING MIKE COOPER IS THE CULPRIT. WE CAN EXCLUDE MARTIN FROM OUR INVESTIGATIONS AS HE WAS THE VICTIM. TERRY SINGER POSSESSES AN ORANGE CAR. THE THIEF POSSESSES A BLUE CAR, THUS TERRY SINGER CANNOT BE THE CULPRIT. THE SUSPECT WHO OWNS A BLUE CAR WAS WEARING PURPLE SHOES. THE SUSPECT WHO WEIGHS 190 POUNDS WAS WEARING PURPLE SHOES. THE SUSPECT WHO WEIGHS 190 POUNDS IS NOT THE ONE WHO HAS BLACK HAIR. THEREFORE, ONE SUSPECT WAS WEARING PURPLE SHOES, POSSESSES A BLUE CAR, WEIGHS 190 POUNDS, AND IS NOT THE ONE WHO HAS BLACK HAIR. BUT JIM CONDON WAS WEARING BROWN SHOES, SYLVIAN BOGARD HAS BLACK HAIR, JONAH JAMESON WEIGHS 210 POUNDS, AND TERRY SINGER POSSESSES AN ORANGE CAR. THEREFORE, THE ONLY SUSPECT WHO COULD BE THIS SUSPECT IS MIKE COOPER. AS MIKE COOPER, OWNS A BLUE CAR AND THE THIEF OWNS A BLUE CAR, HE IS DEFINITELY THE THIEF IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE GUARD GOES BACK TO HIS POST UPON CHECKING THE BRIDGE, YOU START TO CROSS THE BRIDGE. JUST BEFORE THE 6 MINUTES IS UP, TURN AROUND AND START WALKING BACK TOWARDS THE GUARD. THE GUARD WILL COME OUT AND NOTICE YOU AND ASSUME THAT YOU ARE A VISITOR COMING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE. HE WILL GO BACK TO HIS POST SINCE HE WILL NOT TURN YOU AWAY UNTIL YOU REACH HIM. ONCE THE GUARD HAS GONE BACK, IMMEDIATELY TURN BACK AROUND AND WALK TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BRIDGE. SINCE YOU HAD WALKED ALMOST 6 MINUTES PREVIOUSLY, YOU WILL REACH THE OTHER END OF THE BRIDGE IN ABOUT 4 MINUTES TIME - BEFORE THE GUARD COMES OUT OF HIS POST AGAIN THE ANSWER TO THIS RIDDLE IS, "NO." THE REASON IS THAT THE QUESTION AT THE VERY END ASKS IF YOU CAN ANSWER THE RIDDLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENTS ABOVE. SOME SAY THAT PRESSURE IS THE ANSWER, BUT THEY CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW IT TURNS POLAR BEARS WHITE OR PANCAKES BROWN. NOTHING TURNS POLAR BEARS WHITE, ANY MORE THAN SOMETHING TURNS A WHITE PERSON WHITE, AND HEAT MAKES PANCAKES BROWN, NOT PRESSURE
