Counting the Types (Posted on 2007-05-31) Difficulty: 2 of 5
A group of 25 consists of knights, knaves and liars. Each was asked two questions. 17 answered truthfully to the first question and 6 answered truthfully to the second.

What can be determined about the number of knights and liars in the group?

There are at most six knights, there are exactly two more liars than knights, and the number of knaves is odd.
