so.....john has brought to my attention thats he wants some points to so i gave him 2 since he gave me all the countries flags and he answered a past question about iceland. either way he suggested some rules. from now on the first to answer gets the points and im making them a little harder. the prize can be anything as long as its under 5 bucks, and all contests end at the end of the month. here goes...

todays question/ riddle:
Masta T the Treasurer was a bit of a scatterbrain, and had forgotten how many gold, silver and bronze coins were kept in the town vaults. So he decided to ask the three guards, each of whom guarded one type of coin, how many coins were in his charge. However, the guards were uncooperative, and the best that Masta T could get from each was a statement about the numbers of coins in the other two vaults.
Tekman, who was guarding the gold, said there were 3000 silver and 5000 bronze coins.
Gomarkt, who was in charge of the silver, said there were 3000 gold and 5000 bronze.
Chrysalis, who was protecting the bronze, said there were 4000 gold and 3000 silver.
Unfortunately, only one guard was being truthful, each of the other two stating at least one false amount. If there were 12000 coins altogether, how many of each type were there?

good luck its a somewhat hard one and also emily:1 john:2 sorry emily
