Jimmy's first statement that he is a knave can be made by all types but a knight. Johnny said Jimmy is not a knight,so Johnny cannot be a liar. Jimmy can either be a knave who told the truth first and lied second or a liar who always lies. Either way,his second statement is a lie,so Johnny is not a knave. That proves Johnny is a knight. Therefore,his second statement was true,so Jimmy is a knave. In summary,Jimmy is a knave and Johnny is a knight.
