Hello My Name is . . . (Posted on 2007-03-06) Difficulty: 3 of 5
You have been invited to a poker game where each of the other players (Alex, Bert, Carl, Dave) is a knight, knave or liar. The players introduce themselves as follows:

Player 1's statements:
1. Bert is a knight.
2. I am Alex.

Player 2's statements:
1. Alex is a liar.
2. I am a knave.

Player 3's statements:
1. Carl is a knave.
2. Dave is a liar.

Player 4's statements:
1. I am Dave.
2. Bert is a knight.
3. Carl is a knave.

Determine who makes which set of statements and whether each one is a knight, knave or liar.

Sorry, I was under the impression that the knave's statements were never all true or all false. I didn't know that they had to strictly alternate. I'll keep that in mind next time.

Good job with the lists.
