One of the chests contains a prize, while the other two are empty. To help him, a panel of guessers make some suggestions which might or might not help. <br /> <br /> The first panel member guesses, &quot;the prize is not in chest one.&quot; <br /> <br /> The second panel member agrees, &quot;Yeah, the prize is either in chest two or three.&quot; <br /> <br /> A third panel member chimes in, &quot;I&#039;d guess the prize is in chest two.&quot; <br /> <br /> At this point, the host calls a halt to the proceedings and scolds the guessers. &quot;While at least one of your guesses is correct, at least one of them is also wrong.&quot; Which chest contains the prize?<br /> <br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> {{Smullyan riddle}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Logic puzzles]]</div>
