There are three boxes on a table. One contains gold and the other two are empty. Each box contains a printed message. One of the message is true and the other two are lies.
The first box says 'the gold is not here'.
The second box says 'the gold is not here'.
The third box says 'the gold is in the second box'.
Which box has the gold?
The first box says 'the gold is not here'.
The second box says 'the gold is not here'.
The third box says 'the gold is in the second box'.

The message in the third box says that the gold is in the second box, so if it is true, then the first box message will also be true. So the gold cannot be in second and third boxes. The gold is therefore in the first box.
The message in the third box says that the gold is in the second box, so if it is true, then the first box message will also be true. So the gold cannot be in second and third boxes. The gold is therefore in the first box.
