Two boxes are labeled "A" and "B". A sign on box A says "The sign on box B is true and the gold is in box A". A sign on box B says "The sign on box A is false and the gold is in box A". Assuming there is gold in one of the boxes, which box contains the gold?

    its in box B, the signs on both the boxes are not true. If either of the signs were true there would be a contradiction

    if A says that it is in A, and say that A is true, but B says that the gold is in A but A is false, then the gold is in box B right?
