=== DOWNTIME ==============================================
>>> Strain Your Brain
Whether or not you're a soccer fan, we've got a brain teaser for you,
courtesy of Braingle.com.

An alien spaceship landed on Earth. They knew that earthlings are
divided into three groups: those who always tell the truth, those who
always lie, and those who do both, alternating between true and false
statements, starting with either.
"Let's go!" said the alien captain.

The aliens approached three earthlings, who each were from a different
group, and asked, "Who won the last World Cup? Who came in second? Who
came in third?"

One of them responded, "Zaire first. Uruguay second. Spain third."
Another one said, "Zaire first. Spain second. Uruguay third."
The third one said, "Uruguay first. Spain second. Zaire third."

The aliens returned to their spaceship and flew back home.
Which response was the true ranking in the World Cup?

Click here to see the answer.
