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?

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
m0h
You ask one of them what will the other say and do the opposite :D
sattia
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
