Number 1 to 5 are true the others are false.
Every other solution would cause a dilemma.

It's either 1st through 9th, It says that AT LEAST 1 is false, which leaves an indefinate amount of possible falses.There has to be at least one false answer. However,there are ten statements, and the tenth says "at least ten of these statements are false." If they were all false (not possible)then the tenth would be true. Therefore, the answer can be #s 1-9

1 to 5 are true.
@abdeli if 9th was true, then all other statements must be false,but we know that the 1st statement is true because the 10th statement is false.Assuming that 9th is true,we get 2 true statements which means maximum 8 can be false so 9th statement has to be false.

well I figure since it is telling you that 1-10 are false, it is not asking for true or false then therefore 1-10 are true statements.

the first one is the right one becouse if it is true then all others is true but if it is false then all the others is false and ther is no solution then the first one is the key

TO me i am going to take the easy way out and say "None of them are true" Just to answer the question its 1. you cannot have 10 false statements and have the 10th one correct. dont know how the answer could also be 1-9.

it is 9 because that says that all others would be false leaving that as the right one

Well considering it says AT LEAST, the least beaing 1 as there is no option for zero, therefore the only plausible answer mathmatically is the first one.

Like mentioned above, 1-5 are true. This says that there are at least 5 false statements (6-10).

If 9 is true, than 8 would also have to be true, and 7, and 6, and 5, etc. This is because it says at least.

I would have to say that number 1 is true because we don't know for sure any thing except there is at least one true statement (assuming from the question asked) and that it can't be ten. The words 'at least' in number one open up all of the other possiblities, therefore it is the correct answer.

it has to be 9th because in the question it says 'Which of the following statements are true?' which means it can only be one.if only ones true than nine must be false.so 9 is the answer because it states what i have just said.

Sean, you just contradicted yourself. You said the question says which of the following statements (plural) are (again plural) true? and you said it can only be one. The question indicates that there is more than one answer.

9 can not be the right answer because if at least 9 is false, then we know that at least 8 of them are also false, and 7 and 6 and 5, etc. Therefore there are 9 true answers, and that can't be.

The correct answer is 1 - 5 are all correct answers. Try it out, you'll see that it works.

i mean 9 & 10 cant be right that would be a paradox

9 is the true one. it asks which of the following statements is true. if there can only be one true answers then the rest must be false

Wow....U Guys put way to much thought into one question...

No, it is asking which of the following statements ARE true, thus implying that more than one of the following statements are true.

And if you are saying at least nine of them are false, you are also saying that at least 8 of them are false as well. Thus it can't be 9, the correct answer is 1-5.
