Truth or Lies - June

Here's how the game is played:

I provide three facts. Two are true and one is not.

Pick out the lie. =P

1) I drove a Ferrari to my high school graduation
2) I went to Russia on spring break
3) I have been scuba diving in Costa Rica.

(Those who know me best know the answers to all of these. To my other two readers (=D), have fun guessing !

Thoughts ?

I know which one of yours is false.

1. I once spent several hours talking with basketball analyst Dick Vitale.

2. I have had poetry of mine published.

3. I have played tennis with former world chess champion Boris Spassky.

I know which one is false too.

Not so sure about your husband's.

Hmmm.

I am thinking #3 is true. Googled him and found that he really likes tennis.

So I am deciding between #1 and #2.

It SEEMS like #2 wouldn't be true (#1 has juicy detail and thus, sounds like it has a grain of truth to it), but I think you would write #1 that way so people would think it's true. However, one small change (30 minutes vs. several hours) could make it false.

I'm going with #2 but in a strategic way, not in a "has no details so is obviously false" way.

Your husband writes poetry?

I have not seen said "poetry", but I know that that "soccer" and "chess" rhyme with a lot of things so I strongly suspect that this may have been the basis for some of the verse.
