Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Through some very unjust laws, you have been convicted of a horrible crime. But the king knows that good logicians are always innocent, so you've been given a way out. You get to choose which knight will carry out your sentence. One knight is the Knight of Life, who will set you free, and will always tell the truth. One is the Knight of Death, who will immediately execute you, and will always lie. Lastly is the Knight of the Dungeon who will lock you up for the rest of your days, and will sometimes lie and sometimes tell the truth. You get to ask each knight one question, so:
You ask the red knight, "Who is the green knight?", to which she says, "He is the Knight of Life."
You ask the blue knight, "Who is the green knight?", to which she says, "He is the Knight of the Dungeon."
You ask the green knight, "Who are you?", to which he says, "I am the Knight of Death."
Who is the Knight of Life?
2. Proving that you are an innocent person, and excellent at logic, you are recruited into the king's detectives to help solve other crimes. In this village, it is known that at a crime scene, liars are always guilty and truth-tellers are always innocent.
On your first day, you and your partner, Detective Sleuth, head out to your first crime scene where three individuals have been detained for questioning. Sleuth gets their statements.
Alice says, "Bob is guilty!"
Bob says, "Two of the three of us are innocent."
Carl says, "Yeah, Alice and I are innocent!"
Whom should you arrest?
3. On your second day with the king's detectives, you visit another crime scene, where again, truth-tellers are always innocent and liars are always guilty. There are three suspects for this crime. Sleuth decides to see how you'll do, and lets you take the statements from the suspects.
Dianne says, "At least two of us are innocent."
Edgar says, "Dianne and Felicia are both innocent."
Felicia says, "Edgar and I are the same type."
Note: Felicia is saying she and Edgar are both truth-tellers, or both liars.
Whom should you arrest?
4. On your third day, you and Detective Sleuth visit another crime scene with only two possible suspects. You know that liars are always guilty and truth-tellers are always innocent.
Greg says, "At least one of us is innocent."
Detective Sleuth turns towards Heather and asks, "Is Greg innocent?"
Heather mutters something that you don't quite hear, but Sleuth is now convinced she knows what happened.
Whom should you arrest?
5. On your fourth and final day of training with Detective Sleuth, you walk to yet another crime scene. Once again, liars are guilty and truth-tellers are innocent. The first two suspects are very loud and agitated, clamouring over each other to give their statements.
Isaac says, "Jessica and Keith are both liars!"
Jessica says, "No, Isaac is a liar!"
Detective Sleuth turns towards Keith and calmly asks if Jessica is innocent. Keith responds so softly that you miss his answer, but Sleuth is now certain she knows what happened.
Whom should you arrest?
6. With your training over, you are sent away to assist the detectives of Scoundrelville, where truth-tellers are not always innocent, and liars are not always guilty.
On your first day, you arrive at the crime scene. Only one of the suspects is guilty, and you know that all of them are liars.
Laura says, "It's all Mike's fault. Mike is guilty!"
Mike stays calm and says, "Naomi is innocent."
Naomi sneers and says, "Laura is the guilty one."
Whom should you arrest?
7. On your second day in Scoundrelville, you are brought to a slightly more complicated set of suspects. Of the three of them, only one committed the crime, and only one is telling the truth, but it is not necessarily the same person. With a projected air of confidence, you speak to each of the suspects.
Oscar vehemently declares, "I am innocent!"
Penny, in a smaller voice, also says, "I am innocent."
Quentin, flustered, sputters and says, "No, Oscar is guilty!"
Whom should you arrest?
8. On your third day, you are taken to a similar scene, with three suspects. Only one of them is guilty, and only one of them will tell you the truth.
Ruby runs up and quickly says, "Samson is innocent."
Samson nods enthusiastically and says, "It is Tiffany who is guilty."
Tiffany sighs, and says, "Yes, it was me. I'm guilty."
Whom should you arrest?
9. With some more experience under your belt, you have been permitted to look at more complicated cases. Again, a crime has been committed by only one person, and only one of the suspects is telling the truth, but this time there are four of them. Despite the added complexity, you know you can solve this, and ask for statements from the suspects.
Ulysses says, "Vivian is innocent."
Vivian says, "Agreed. It was definitely Wallace or Xena who committed this crime."
Wallace turns red and yells back, "Ulysses is the one who did it!"
Xena keeps her eyes low and refuses to say anything.
Whom should you arrest?
10. On a bright morning with an inexplicable sense of finality, you head off to work to solve yet another crime in Scoundrelville. You arrive at the scene to find all four witnesses loudly bickering with one another. Without any prompting, they turn to you to each tell you what they think. You know that only one of them is telling the truth, and that only one of them committed the crime.
Yvonne says, "Zadie is guilty."
Zadie says, "Britney is innocent."
Aaron says, "Yvonne and Britney are both innocent."
Britney says, "That's right, because you're guilty."
