Close enough - the actual advert I saw was for a HSBC low interest credit card.

Over to you

Only one of these 10 satements is true, which one?

1. Only one sentence is a lie.
2. Only two sentences are incorrect.
3. Only three sentences are not true.
4. Only four sentences are false.
5. Only five sentences are dishonest.
6. Only six sentences are not true.
7. Only seven sentences will mislead you.
8. Only eight sentences are deceptive.
9. Only nine sentences are false
10. Ten sentences are mistaken.

This is similar to the infinetely circular statement: "49.7 percent of stats are made up on the spot"

OK, I could be wrong, but the answer is in the question, I think...

Only one of these 10 satements is true...

Hard to get my brain round this, but as you say only one statement is true, 9 of them must be false. There is one statement that states that - number 9

[LineLefty]

brutal, and correct

Oooh - Lucky! OK, not really a riddle, but try this little conundrum:

Five ladies from a sewing club were on an evening out to the theatre. They had booked five consecutively numbered seats in one row, but had forgotten their agreed seating order.

Connie and Ethel, who never sat next to each other, were arguing about the arrangements. "I think it's Agatha, Bertha, you, me and Denise", said Connie. However, she only had two of them correctly positioned.

"Well," said Ethel "I think it is Agatha, Denise, you, Bertha and me". This time only one was correctly positioned.

Failing to agree, they eventually sat in the order - Agatha, Denise, Ethel, Bertha and Connie. Only two were placed as initially agreed.

What was their original agreed seating order?

[simon c]

Connie, Agatha, Ethel, Bertha, Denise

Well there's no pulling of wool over simon c's eyes. Over to you sir.

A King comes up with a plan to determine which one of his son's should inherit the Kingdom. He decides to hold a horse race between the two Princes. They have to cross the kingdom and the Prince whose horse finishes LAST will inherit.

After two days of riding around aimlessly, they come across an old man sitting by the road (as wise old men are known to do in these puzzles). They tell him their problem and he gives them some advice. After taking his advice, they immediately rush to finish the race.

What did he tell them?

[Bob Willson]

Is it possible that he advised a bit of sharing of prersently owned assetts?

[bitingmidge]

Spot on Sir Robert!

Pipped me at the post, must have been riding MY horse!

Anyway, what rock have you been hiding under these past few election fever weeks?

Cheers,

P

According to bitingmidge you got it right, but I'm going to be a pedant and ask you to be a bit more clear with what you mean.

[Bob Willson]

He suggested that they swap horses.

Students at Brisbane High with a class size of under 30 took a math test. One third of the class got a "B", one quarter a "B-", one sixth a "C", and one eighth failed. The remainder of the students got an "A" How many students got an "A"?

No worries Bob, I was just being a little careful over the word "sharing" in your original answer.

[AlexS]

3 students out of the class of 24 got an A.
