Six Friends and a Wallet Puzzle (Posted on 2022-12-25) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Noah and his five friends: Abner, Benny, Chaim, Diego, and Ezra, were hanging out when Noah spotted a wallet on the floor. Noah has a poor memory, but he remembered that it belonged to one of his friends.
Therefore, he decided to question his friends about it. Their responses are furnished hereunder as follows:
  • Noah: Whose wallet is this?
  • Abner: That's mine.
  • Diego: You're lying, Abner.
  • Chaim: That's right, Abner, you are lying.
  • Benny: Abner is not lying, guys.
  • Diego: That wallet belongs to Chaim.
  • Ezra: That's right, Diego is telling the truth.
  • Benny: No, Ezra. That's your wallet.
Noah remembers that at least 2 of his friends are Knights, who always tell the truth, while at least 2 are Liars, who always speak falsely.
Unfortunately, Noah cannot remember which of his 5 friends are Knights and which are Liars.

Determine the types of the five friends. Who owns the wallet?
