Jenny and Timmy are conducting a test. Timmy is a compulsive liar and only tells the truth ones everytime he's told six lies.
If Jenny has three counters in a bag, one blue, one green and one red, and Timmy has 6 counters in a small wooden container of unknown origin,
one green, three red and two blue, assuming Jenny is blind and Timmy is not, when Jenny removes a counter and counts on Timmy to tell her what colour it is,
and he tells her 'blue', 'green', 'blue', 'blue', 'red', 'green' and finally 'yellow', not having told any lies before her first counter is shown to him,
has Timmy ever told Jenny that she was holding a warm sausage?
