But riddles are fun!!!
4-part riddle. A knight always tells the truth, and a knave always lies in all four problems.

Part 1

A says: "B is a knight."
B says: "A is not a knight."

Prove that one of them is telling the truth but is not a knight.

Part 2

A: "B is a knight"
B: "A is a knave."

Prove either that one of them is teling the truth but is not a knight or that one is lying but is not a knave.

Now we must consider the possibility that a speaker is neither a knight nor a knave. In the next 2 problems, each of the 3 people (A, B, & C) involved is either a knight or a knave.

Part 3

C: "B is a knave."
B: "A and C are of the same type (both knights or both knaves."

What is A?

Part 4

A: "B and C are of the same type."
B: "C, Are A and B of the same type?"

What does C answer?
