Its still not clear. Now we’re forced to assume that the person doing the switching is not a double amputee 
.
Or blind.
Here’s one of those deduction puzzles. Good luck!
After being hired to his first job as a computer programmer with Matchmaker, Match&maker Dating Service, Morey Messabout immediately improved the program de&signed to pair clients based on their backgrounds and interests. Unfortunately, Morey didn’t notice a bug in the program that caused men and women to be matched purely at random - sometimes even when they were total opposites. Fortunately, the couples didn’t seem to notice, as the first five paired by Morey’s program fell madly in love at first sight, and Morey earned a bonus for his creative mis-matchmaking.
Can you find the full names (one surname is O’Hara) of each paired couple, their occupations (one person is a used-car dealer), and the one thing each likes to do most in his or her spare time (one loves an all-night party)?

What on earth are you guys doing with all this weighing? If they are all the same size, the one that is gold will be heavier than the others. You don’t need a scale to tell the crypt keeper that.
I win.
