had me fucked when the natives knew the alphabet.

I will:
A says: B is a knight
This means if he were a knave he would be lying therefore he would definately be a knave.
But if A Said B was a knight he must be lying so B must be a knave.
then: B says: A and I are part of opposite type, and knowing B is a knave already then he must be telling a lie therefore both are knaves.

An island containing two types of people: knights who always tell the truth, and knaves who always lie. You visit the island and you are approached by two natives who speak to you as follows:
             A says: B is a knight
             B says: A and I are part of opposite type
What are A and B?

A and B are trapped in a pointless riddle for all eternity as a punishment for having a wee wee in the village water supply in the English town of Aylesbury in 1422AD.

k here is the theory behind it
Suppose A is a knight.
therefore what A says is true .... by definition of knight
therefore B is also a knight............ thats what A said.
therefore What B says is true................ by definition of knight
therefore A and B are opposite types.................thats what B said

We have arrived at the following contradiction: A and B are both knights and A and B are of opposite type.

therefore  The supposition is false
therefore  A is not a knight
therefore  A is a knave .......... Its given that all inhabitants are knights or knaves so since A is not a knight A is a Knave.

therefore  what A says is false
therefore  B is not a knight
therefore  B is also a knave

hehehhe milk boy
