Paul ate half a cookie. joe ate half a cookie. paul said he ate more than joe. joe said he ate more

paul ate half a cookie. joe ate half a cookie. paul said he ate more than joe. joe said he ate more than paul. could they both be right? or is only one of the right?

If the cookies were different sizes, the one who ate half of the larger cookie would be right. If the cookies were the same size, neither would be right because they ate the same amount.
