Find the greedy pig (II)
One day, there was a piece of cake meant for Eric. However, it went missing. His parents, Mr and Mrs Tan, suspected that one of his siblings ate the piece of cake and so questioned them. Here were their answers:
-
Charles: Brenda ate it.
-
Darius: I did not eat it.
-
Brenda: Alfred ate it.
-
Alfred: I ate it.
TWO of them are telling the truth. Who ate the piece of cake?

Brenda and Alfred are saying the same thing, so even though they could either be honest or lying, the point is that they're doing it together, against the words of the other two, Charles and Darius (from the statement of "TWO of them are telling the truth"). Looking at Darius' and Alfred's statements, since they're on the opposing sides, the scenario is either they both ate the cake or neither one did. We're told that the parents knew only one of the children is guilty, so Darius's side told the truth while Alfred and Brenda lied. Then it must be that Charles made a true accusation against Brenda who's actually guilty of cake stealing.
