An apple seller sells only one apple every day to one of 3 persons(2 are habitual liars and the other is an always truth telling knight).

You have to determine who is the knight by asking each of the 3 persons every day, "Did the apple seller sell you the apple today?"

Find the probability that you can find the knight in exactly n days, where n is a positive integer.

For those not conversant with "knights and liars" please address the category at the home page.

Pronounced as one letter,
And written with three,
Two letters there are,
And two only in me.
I'm double, I'm single,
I'm black, blue, and gray,
I'm read from both ends,
And the same either way.
What am I?
