Mr. Jenkins is trying to find a butler he can really trust. Out of the four candidates, James, Hudson, Paul and Steven, he knows that two are honest and the other two are compulsive liars. From what each one of them says, can you work out which two are the liars?

JAMES: “Neither Paul nor Hudson tells the truth.”

HUDSON: “If Steven is a liar, then James is trustworthy.”

PAUL: “If, and only if, James is not an honest person, then Steven, too, has a rather loose attitude to the truth.”

The water level in a reservoir is low, but doubles every day. It takes 60 days to fill the reservoir. How long does it take for the reservoir to become half full?
