Stimulate your mind. Research suggests that reading, playing games, and doing puzzles may reduce memory loss as we age.

Today is Brainteaser Tuesday. I'll post one brain game, puzzle or some sort of activity to help clear out those cobwebs and get our motors running!

This week I have a new logic puzzle for you to try and solve. Let's see how long it takes this time.

Isaac & Albert (logic puzzle)

Isaac and Albert were excitedly describing the result of the Third Annual International Science Fair Extravaganza in Sweden. There were three contestants, Louis, Rene, and Johannes. Isaac reported that Louis won the fair, while Rene came in second. Albert, on the other hand, reported that Johannes won the fair, while Louis came in second.

In fact, neither Isaac nor Albert had given a correct report of the results of the science fair. Each of them had given one correct statement and one false statement. What was the actual placing of the three contestants?
