Jack, John and James are identical triplets. It is impossible to distinguish them by appearance. Jack and John always tell the truth, but James always lies — everything he says is false. You know that the triplets are between 20 and 30 years old, 20 and 30 included. One day you meet two of the triplets and ask them how old they are. A One says “We are between 20 and 29 years old, 20 and 29 included”. The other makes the following statements: “We are between 21 and 30 years old, 21 and 30 included” and “One of us present is lying”. How old are they?
