You need to deduce which one of the chests is a Mimic based on \u201cstatements\u201d uttered by each chest. The statements go along the lines of \u201cThe box under me is not a Mimic,\u201d or \u201cThe box to my right is a Mimic,\u201d reminiscent of those \u201cone lies, one tells the truth\u201d riddles.
