Alternate theory that I personally like better, one of the trips was while she was preggers. She gave birth, named him leo, then later married him.
She's had two different husbands, both named Leo, and gone once with each.Las Vegas

OBJECTION!

Suspect B could be guilty.
This would make his statement a logical paradox, but it's fairly easy to make logically paradoxical statements, e.g. "This statement is false."
Leo could have been living in Vegas already when Tanya first went there, then he moved away with her, and they both went back together.
The man with the birthday in September is a huge liar.

Incorrect. If B is lying, then either both must be telling the truth or both must be lying (either exactly two or exactly zero people are telling the truth, which are our only options). Since we've just established that B is lying, they both must be lying. Thus A's statement of "I am innocent" is a falsehood and A is NOT innocent, and therefore guilty.purplepolecat wrote:Suspect B could be guilty.

The man was born in the town of March, during the month of September. He grew up and become a priest, whereupon he officiated at the wedding of his adoptive father (or indeed of his own priest depending on your religion).
Anyhow:
Two plumbers are working on a job. One is the other's son, but the other is not his father. How?
