Counting the Types 2 (Posted on 2007-06-05)

A group of 25 people consists of knights, knaves and liars. Each person was asked "Are you a knight?", and 17 responded yes. Each person was then asked "Are you a knave?", and 12 responded yes. And finally each person was asked "are you a liar?", and 8 responded yes.

How many knights, knaves and liars are in the group?
