Knaves and Knights....hard ...but cool

Chris is taking this braniac math course this summer. No bragging or anything....the little dude is a math whiz....anyway, so he gets his first 27 problems and they are all variations of this:


A very special island is inhabited only by knights and knaves. Knights always tell the truth, and knaves always lie. You meet three inhabitants: Zippy, Ted and Bob. Zippy claims, `Bob and I are both knights.' Ted tells you, `Of Bob and I, exactly one is a knight.' Bob says, `Ted could claim that I am a knight.'
So who is a knight and who is a knave?

And by the middle of the questions...they add in an additional issue that these people could be normal or not normal.....they can either lie or not lie

Then 3/4 of the way through they add another twist.... in that they can also be werewolves.

If you are wondering what the answer is....Chris will need to post the answer!

This took some serious concentration..and with help from Chris I figured most of them out!!!!
