Liar Lock (Posted on 2013-02-26) Difficulty: 3 of 5
In a remote island there are only two types of people that live on it, Knights and Liars. Knights always tell the truth. Liars always speak falsely.

Five suspects are interrogated in connection with a murder. Their statements are as follows:
Al: "Cal and Dan are lying." 
Ben: "Al and Elmer are lying." 
Cal: "Ben and Dan are lying." 
Dan: "Cal and Elmer are lying." 
Elmer: "Al and Ben are lying." 
Which suspect do you know for certain to be a liar?
