3 Non-ABAP Puzzles - Solution
[ABAP Spirit]
Logic Puzzle:
There are three people (Alex, Ben and Cody), one of whom is a knight, one a knave, and one a spy. The knight always tells the truth, the knave always lies, and the spy can either lie or tell the truth.
Alex says: “Cody is a knave.”
Ben says: “Alex is a knight.”
Cody says: “I am the spy.”
Who is the knight, who the knave, and who the spy?
Answer:
- We know Ben isn’t telling the truth because if he was, there would be two knights; so Ben could be either the knave or the spy.
- Cody also can’t be the knight, because then his statement would be a lie.
- So that must mean Alex is the knight.
- Ben, therefore, must be the spy, since the spy sometimes tells the truth;
- leaving Cody as the knave.
