The one on the far left wore green, then the next wore brown, and the one next to that wore yellow, then there was blue, and white, and the one on the far right wore red.
I approached the green dressed painting first. "Stand in front of the statue, go west 3 steps, then south 1 step. That's the answer!"
I turned to the brown dressed painting. "Stand in front of the statue, go east 4 steps, then north 2 steps. That's the answer!"
I walked in front of the yellow dressed painting, which said, "The one in white speaks the truth!"
The blue dressed painting then said, "The only truth-speaker wears green!"
I turned to the white dressed painting which said, "Stand in front of the statue, go east 2 steps, then south 2 steps. That's the answer!"
Finally, the red dressed painting said, "I agree with the one in yellow!"

I went back through the door to look again at all the paintings... which one was telling the truth?

The brown dressed painting had said, ""Stand in front of the statue, go east 4 steps, then north 2 steps. That's the answer!"
And finally, the white dressed painting had said, "Stand in front of the statue, go east 2 steps, then south 2 steps. That's the answer!"
So who to believe? What should I do?
