Subject: Two of one truth value, and one of the other

What if, instead of "Two truths and a lie", or "Two lies and a truth", it was merely "Two of one truth value, and one of the other"? Assuming, of course, binary truth values. No superposition or anything like that. It would be even harder.

Bah! Why not take that idea further? Three statements, each of which may be true or false, in any combination? This way, there are 8 possibilites, as opposed to the 6 allowable in your proposal.

But the point of both of the original variants and my proposed extension is to identify the one which does not match the others. This gameplay concept does not scale to your idea.
