If A were true, B would also be true, but only one statement can be true. Therefore A is false. Since A is false, B is true. Therefore you do not kick ass.

A can't be false, because then B would be false and A, true. A being false --> A being true isn't meshing.

The aim was having fun. And me kicking ass. By putting in such a puzzle, I indeed kick ass. Hence, C is true. QED.
