something a little different
When Nita Bath the waitress at the Dirty Duck Restaurant brought Detective Sergeant Hans
Zupp his usual cup of coffee, she had something. special to tell him.
"Those three fellows at the far table are up to something," Nita whispered. "I saw one of them slip a revolver to one of the others he called Eddie. By their accents, I'd say they're all foreign. One of them's English, one's an Australian and I think the other one is French."
"Which is which?" asked the Detective.
"The one on Eddie's right is the Australian, and the Frenchman is on the Englishman's right."
"Which one is Eddie?" asked the Detective, but Nita was called away before she could answer, and the three men were getting up to leave.
The detective followed the men outside, made an excuse to get them into conversation and--having already worked out for himself what Eddie's nationality was--soon discovered who was carrying the gun.
Which one was Eddie?

Ok.....Eddie is the Frenchman.....Eddie is on the right of the englishman....the Australian is on the right of Eddie, the Frenchman.
He can't be the englishman, because is on Eddie's right. Arrrrrrghhhh confusing, but I think I've got it.

answer
As Eddie has the Australian on his right, Eddie must be one of the other two. He cannot be the Englishman, because the Australian, not the Frenchman, would be on his right. So Eddie must be the Frenchman.
