Question 2
Alice had several essays to write this weekend. Her father asked how many essays she needed to write, and she made two statements:
• Statement 1: “I had at least 3 essays to write.”
• Statement 2: “I had at most 3 essays to write.”
If her father knew that Stella never lies to him, could he determine exactly how many essays Stella needed to write on this weekend?
Self-study correction and input (editorial): assume Alice and Stella are the same child and both statements are truthful. Enter the exact number of essays.
