Knights and knaves
\
Knights and knaves are a type of
logic puzzle devised by
Raymond Smullyan.
On a fictional island, all inhabitants are either knights, who always tell the truth, or knaves, who always lie. So, for example, no inhabitant can say:
- "I am a knave."
The puzzles involve a visitor to the island who meets small groups of inhabitants, and must determine their type from their statements.
