Another Logic Puzzle
In this problem again you are on an island of Knights and Knaves. You meet two of the inhabitants A & B. You say, "Before you say anything else, please say something so I can know whether both of you are knights, or whether both of you are knaves, or whether one of you is a knight while the other is a knave, which is which?"
A replies, "Either I am a knave or B is a Knight." Do you now know what you wanted to know? Explain
Thank you for your time
