What am I?
On the island of Delzzup there are two types of inhabitants, knaves and knights.
Knaves always lie and knights always tell the truth.
Dave was having lunch with Darren but wasn't sure whether he was a knave or knight.
Dave decided to test Darren by asking him to ask the waiter whether he was a knave or a knight.
Darren said that the waiter had said that he was a knight.
Can you work out if Darren is a knave or a knight?
[Ref: ZASM]
Hint: Think about this carefully.
Answer: Darren is a knight.
Darren asks the waiter "Are you a knight or a knave". If the waiter is a knight he will say so, but if he is a knave he will lie and still say he is a knight. Therefore the waiter will always reply that he is a knight. As Darren correctly tells Dave that the waiter said he was a knight, we know that Darren is a knight (but we know nothing of the waiter).

Puzzle 4
Two fine fellows were working very hard all day at the local coal mine.
One of the fellows managed to get a really dirty face, but the other fellow managed to stay clean.
When they reached the end of their day and re-joined the surface in the lift, the fellow with the dirty face simply went home, however, the fellow with the clean face rushed off to wash.
Why?
[Ref: ZBNM]
Hint: What could each fellow see?
Answer:
The fellow with the clean face saw the fellow with the dirty face and thought his face was also dirty and wanted to wash it and vice versa.
