Contradiction Tuesday: Who is the Father of Joseph?

The use of the word contradiction in this post is strange to me. Cory Tucholski, to help clarify, is this a contradiction?
A group of four students miss an important exam. The teacher contacts them individually and asks them why they are late. All four say: “we were driving together to the exam, and the car had a flat tyre.” The teacher re-contacts Person1. “Which tyre was flat?” “The front drivers side”. The teacher re-contacts Person2. “Which tyre was flat?” “The front passenger side”. The teacher re-contacts Person3. “Which tyre was flat?” “The rear drivers side”. The teacher re-contacts Person4. “Which tyre was flat?” “The rear passenger side”.
Is that a contradiction?
