The rebel doesn't like the truth patterns of the other three, and will never follow the order of them. (So the rebel will say at least one thing false, and one thing true, but not in an alternating way.) A: B is the liar.
C won the race.
I came in second.

B: C is the knight.
I came in last place.
C came in second.

C: D is the knave.
A won the race.
B came in last place.

D: B is the rebel.
C came in second place.
B came in third place.

Using this information, what is each person's type and in what order did they finish in the race?

I prefer to call it "Intuitive leaps of logic". :p

Exactly, for 3 points. https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2006/04/1.gif

Imagine a litre of Kalhua liqueur, sweet and tasty.

Now stop drooling.

In a second litre of milk, a cup of Kalhua taken from the initial litre is added and mixed in thoroughly.

A cup of this mixture is then taken and poured back into the litre of Kalhua.

Is the amount of Kalhua in the milk more, less, or equal to the amount of milk in the Kalhua?


__________
The same. The ratio of the milk is 1 cup (K)/1liter (M).
The ratio of kalhua is 1 cup (1cup (K)/1litre (M) mix)/1litre-1cup (K).

The same. The ratio of the milk is 1 cup (K)/1liter (M).
The ratio of kaluea is 1 cup (1cup (K)/1litre (M) mix)/1litre-1cup (K)

3 points, further shortening the distance between you and first place.

I disagree. The original Kahlua container has more Kahlua in it than milk, and the original Milk container has more milk in it than Kahlua.

*EDIT*

Evidently I am wrong.

Will have to consider why.... :confused:

How many times can you substract 5 from 25?


__________
Once. After that you can only substract from 20.

You've actually already asked that one. :p
