Another trial (Posted on 2002-05-08) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Residents A, B and C, each of whom are either a Liar or a Knight are brought to stand trial for a crime only one of them commited.

Each person accused one of the other two, but the records do not show who exactly. As it turned out, A was the only Knight of the three.

Curiously enough, if each person switched their testimony, and accused the remaining suspect (not themselves, and not who they accused originally), then B would come out to be the only Knight.

Who was the real culprit in the case?

since you can't accuse yourself... | Comment 2 of 7 |
Since no one accused themselves, we can tell that...

in the first situation, A is not the culprit

and in the second situation, B is not the culprit

So it must be C
