Chapter 1.2, Problem 34E
Exercises 28-35 relate to inhabitants of an island on which there are three kinds of people: knights who always tell the truth, knaves who always lie, and spies (called normals by Smullyan [Sm78]) who can either lie or tell the truth. You encounter three people,A,B, andC. You know one of these people is a knight, one is a knave, and one is a spy. Each of the three people knows the type of person each of other two is. For each of these situations, if possible, determine whether there is a unique solution and determine who the knave, and spy are. When there is no unique solution, list all possible solutions or state that there are no solutions.
34. A says "l am not the spy,Bsays "I am not the spy, andCsays "Ais the spy."

- Three streams - Stream A, Stream B, and Stream C - flow into a lake. The flow rates of these streams are not yet known and thus to be found. The combined water inflow from the streams is 300 m³/h. The rate of Stream A is three times the combined rates of Stream B and Stream C. The rate of Stream B is 50 m³/h less than half of the difference between the rates of Stream A and Stream C. Find the flow rates of the three streams by setting up an equation system Ax = b and solving it for x. Provide the values of A and b.
