View Full Version : Riddle: knight & Knaves


m0h
Its my turn now to post a riddle :)

A very special island is inhabited only by knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, and knaves always lie.

You meet two inhabitants: A and B.
A tells you that B is a knight .
B says me and A are not the same (if one is a knight the other is a knaves)

So who is a knight and who is a knave?

A very special island is inhabited only by knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, and knaves always lie

you want to leave that island , there is only two ways , one of them is the right one , the other is the wrong way

and you have only one question to ask about the right way , so what is that question ???

peace be upon you

You ask one of them what will the other say and do the opposite :D

If I asked anyone of them I would simply may get a correct answer or an incorrect answer

So I think I should ask both of them but making sure the answer is correct everytime

As there is one lies all the time I think it is better to get an incorrect answer and then do its opposite

I can guarantee its an incorrect one if one of them asks the other and then tells me the answer

Then my question would be "would u ask the other one where is the correct way?"

whatever the answer I would do the opposite

m0h
I was faster than u :p

Here is one for you ;)

A very special island is inhabited only by knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, and knaves always lie. You meet two inhabitants: Homer and Bozo. Homer tells you, `At least one of the following is true: that I am a knight or that Bozo is a knight.' Bozo claims, `Homer could say that I am a knave.'
So who is a knight and who is a knave?
