You have the following information:
- John says he didn't make the mistake.
- Sarah says Michael made the mistake.
- Michael says he didn't make the mistake.
You know that two of them are lying and one is telling the truth. Who made the mistake?
Hint: Think carefully about each statement and try to identify any contradictions or inconsistencies.

Based on the information provided, we can deduce that either John or Michael made the mistake, and Sarah is lying. 
If we consider the possibility that John made the mistake, then his statement that he didn't make the mistake is true. However, this would mean that Sarah is lying when she says Michael made the mistake, which contradicts the fact that only two of them are lying. Therefore, we can conclude that John did not make the mistake.
This leaves us with the possibility that Michael made the mistake, which is corroborated by Sarah's statement. However, Michael's statement that he didn't make the mistake is contradictory to this. 
Therefore, we can conclude that Michael made the mistake, but he is lying when he says he didn't make the mistake. As the manager, you can take appropriate action based on this information.

To determine who made the mistake based on the given information, we need to analyze each statement and identify any contradictions or inconsistencies.

1. John says he didn't make the mistake: This statement suggests that John is not responsible for the error.

2. Sarah says Michael made the mistake: This statement implies that Sarah believes Michael is responsible for the error.

3. Michael says he didn't make the mistake: This statement contradicts Sarah's claim that Michael made the mistake.

Based on these statements, we can eliminate John as a potential culprit since he explicitly denies responsibility. This leaves us with Sarah and Michael, who both provide conflicting information.

To resolve the contradiction, we need to consider the possibility that either Sarah or Michael is lying. If Sarah is lying, then Michael is actually the one who made the mistake, as Sarah falsely accused him. On the other hand, if Michael is lying, then Sarah is telling the truth, and Michael is responsible for the error.

Since we know that two of the three employees are lying, we can use this information to eliminate one of the options. Since Michael's statement contradicts Sarah's, we can assume that Michael is lying, and therefore, Sarah is telling the truth.

Therefore, based on the given information, **Sarah** is the employee who made the mistake, as Michael's denial contradicts Sarah's accusation.
