    Truthtellers and liars problem

    you are visiting a strange country in which there are just two kinds of people- truth tellers and liars. truth tellers always tell the truth and liars always lie. You hail the first two people you meet and say. "Are you truth teller or liars?" The first person mumbles something you can't hear. The second says, "He says he is a truth teller. He is a truth teller so am I." Can you trust the directions these two may give you? why?

    how bout this: You can trust the first person (the guy that mumbles) because a person who tells the truth never says that he is saying the truth, he just says it! But you can't trust the second person because a liar always says that he is telling the truth and he said that he is a truth teller.

    Old expression... "If you lie, I'll swear to it". The first one mumbled and the second one said "he says"...

    Repeat of the other question.
