Well Done!!

I am going to have a good old think, I'm sure there has to be a problem out there that can stump you for a while...hehe

Will post my latest answer attempt to #224 as soon as I get a few more moments...

Try this one.... Andy dislikes the catcher.
Ed's sister is engaged to the second baseman.
The center fielder is taller than the right fielder.
Harry and the third baseman live in the same building.
Paul and Allen each won $20 from the pitcher at pinochle.
Ed and the outfielders play poker during their free time.
The pitcher's wife is the third baseman's sister.
The pitcher, catcher, and infielders except Allen, Harry, and Andy, are shorter than Sam.
Paul, Andy, and the shortstop lost $50 each at the racetrack.
Paul, Harry, Bill, and the catcher took a trouncing from the second baseman at pool.
Sam is involved in a divorce suit.
The catcher and the third baseman each have two children.
Ed, Paul, Jerry, the right fielder, and the center fielder are bachelors.
The others are married.
The shortstop, the third baseman, and Bill each cleaned up $100 betting on the fight.
One of the outfielders is either Mike or Andy.
Jerry is taller than Bill. Mike is shorter than Bill.
Each of them is heavier than the third baseman.

Using these facts, determine the names of the men playing the various positions on the baseball team.

I'll time you... hehe

Ciao

Okay, I started at about 4:12.

I got:

Pitcher = Harry (Married)
Catcher = Allen (Married, 2 kids)
1B = Paul (Single)
2B = Jerry (Single)
3B = Andy (Married, 2 kids)
SS = Ed (Single)
RF = Mike (SIngle)
CF = Bill (Single)
LF = Sam (Married, getting divorced)

Right on all counts!!! Well done!!! (4:12, pm? is that in the US or the UK or Elsewhere...? I posted at about 3pm UK)

Okay here we go for your earlier question:

1) A says, "B and C are of the same type." You then ask C, "Are A and B of the same type?" What does C answer?

1) C will answer "Yes", if he is a knight or a knave his answer will be the same.

2) A and B are lying under a tree. You ask A, "Is either of you a knight?" He gives you an answer, and you now know what both A and B are. What are they?

2) The only answer that A can give which would make it possible for you to know what both A and B are is "NO". If he answered yes then you would still not know what they were.

Hope I did okay, will have a scrumage and seek out a more challenging reply..

Ciao

That was 4:12 as compared to my reply timestamp of 4:31. Of course I was interrupted by having to actually work for a minute or two, and then having to type up my reply.

And, now that I finally have a little more time to post, you are correct with #1.

There are two main possibilities:
- A is a knight. Then he told the truth, and B and C are of the same type.
 - if B and C are both knaves, then A and B are of different types, so C, being a knave, will lie and say "Yes" to the question.
 - if B and C are both knights, then A and B of of the same type, so C, being a knight, will truthfully answer "Yes" to the question.
- A is a knave. Then he lied, and B and C are of different types.
 - if B is a knight and C is a knave, then A and B are of different types, so C, being a knave, will lie and say "Yes" to the question.
 - if B is a knave and C is a knight, then A and B are of the same type, so C, being a knight, will truthfully answer "Yes" to the question.
So regardless of what A, B, and C are, C MUST answer "Yes" to the question.

You are correct for as far as you went with #2; A must have answered "No." I'll presume that you went ahead and worked the rest out, thus:
- If A answered "Yes", then either he is a knight, they're both knights, or they're both knaves. You have no way to determine which. But you were able to determine, so A must not have answered "Yes."
- So A answered "No." This means that he claimed that they're both knaves. This must be a lie, since knaves won't truthfully claim to be knaves. Since A lied, he is a knave. Since they're not both knaves, B must be a knight.

Here are a couple more problems:

We move now to an island that has not only Knights and Knaves, but also Normals. Normal people, as their name kind of implies, can tell a lie or tell the truth as the whim strikes them.

1) There are three people (A, B, C). One is a knave, one a knight, and one a normal (not necessarily in that order). They make the following statements:
A: I am normal.
B: That is true.
C: I am not normal.
What are A, B, and C?

2) Two people make the following statements:
A: B is a knight.
B: A is not a knight.
Prove that at least one of them is telling the truth, but is not a knight.

i have no idea but i was hopeing you guys could help me. i am looking for the answer to this riddle and cannot find it. maybe you have heard it?

A monument-men all agree-
Am i in all sincerity,
Half cat, half hindrance made.
If head and tail removed should be,
Then most of all you strengthen me;
Replace my head, the stand you see
On which my tail is laid.
Lewis Carroll(Charels Dodgeson)wrote Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

the only hint i have been given is as follows...

The table was a large one, but the 3 were all crowded together at one corner of it. "No room! No room!" they cried out when they saw Alice comming. "There's plenty of room!" said Alice indignantly, and she sat down in a large arm-chair at one end of the table.
"Have some wine," the March Hare said in an encouraging tone. Alice looked all around the table, but there was nothing on it but tea. "I don't see any wine," she remarked. "There isn't any," said the March Hare.

I just can't seem to figure it out. ~HELP!~
