Knights, Knaves and Spies
On this island, there are three types of people. Knights, who always tell the
truth, knaves, who always lie, and spies, who can do either. In these puzzles,
you meet three people, one knight, one knave and one spy.
The challenge is to determine who is who. These puzzles can easily be found
online, so don't look. I will post a link to a site with many variations
of these puzzles on Thursday. The last two are tricky. Think about what would
be true in order for the knave to say that. Good luck and have fun!
