A Logic Accusation (Posted on 2003-10-01) Difficulty: 2 of 5
In an island peopled by Knights (who always say the truth) and Liars (who obviously always lie), two persons spoke about each other.

A said: "B would say I lie."

B said: "That is true."

Can anything be deduced as to what kind is each of them?

Ok let's speculate:
Because A's and B's exclaimations agree with each other then,
If both knights: They would conflict because they cannot possibly tell truth about them being liars.
If both liars: Statements agree and no conflict occurs.

They are both liars
