Video Summary

In the problem, four children give different accounts of who broke a window, but only one is telling the truth. Maria accuses Peter; Peter accuses Richard; Richard and Tina both claim innocence. Only one can be truthful, so if Richard or Tina is truthful, it eliminates their innocence. If Peter were truthful in accusing Richard, both would be truthful, contradicting that only one tells the truth. Thus, Tina must be lying, meaning she broke the window. The solution concludes that Tina is the culprit.
