A very special island is inhabited only by knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, and knaves always lie.
You meet two inhabitants: Zoey and Mel. Zoey tells you that Mel is a knave. Mel says, “Neither Zoey nor I are knaves.”
Can you determine who is a knight and who is a knave?

Are they both knaves?

Zoey is the knight, right? And Mel is the knave? Because if one of them has to be a knight and one of them has to be a knave then saying that neither of them is a knave would be a lie.

I can't. If I say "Zoey is a knight and Mel is a knave" or "both are knaves", both are correct since you didn't say any condition about the amount of knives or knights. If you had said something like "someone is a knight and someone is a knave", then I could say "Mel is a knave and Zoey is a knight". That's bc If Mel says the truth, then it means what Zoey mentioned it's true too. And that's impossible.+

>>758694 For the other side, If Zoey says the truth, it's possible since Mel had never denied the fact Zoey is a knight.
