Puzzle 3
Mr and Mrs Brown are a little strange. When they are awake, their judgement about everything is absolutely perfect. When they are asleep however, it is exactly the opposite.
That is, if Mr Brown is awake and thinks that something is true, then it will always be true. But if he were to be sleeping and dreaming something to be true, it would always turn out to be false.

Once, late at night, Mr Brown was under the impression that Mrs Brown is asleep. At that very point in time, Mrs Brown was also thinking about her husband. Was she under the impression that he was asleep or that he was awake?

right....if Mr brown is awake then he's right in thinkin she's asleep -therefore she's wrong it whatever she thinks so she'd be thiking Mr Brown was asleep

but if he's asleep then he is wrong and she's actually awake and therefore knows he's asleep
ok that hasn't helped me at all

but thinkibng logically he's gonna be asleep late at night so i'll go with teh 1st option

Sweetmadness - you are right - whichever way you look at it she has to be thinking that he is asleep
