Each of the following statements is correct in at least one number system. That is, the statement is correct if we assume the numbers are expressed in a base other than 10. It is up to you to find out which number base makes each statement correct. You need to justify your answer by converting the numbers in each operation to base 10 and showing that the statement is correct. For example, 36/6 = 7 is clearly not correct in base 10, but it is correct in base 12 because 3612 = 4210 and 4210/610 = 710. Thus, 3612/612 = 712 is true.
a) 42/3 = 13
b) 23 + 44 + 14 + 32 = 223

Asays "we are both knaves" and b says nothing. exercises 24–31 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, and c. 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, knight, and spy are. when there is no unique solution, list all possible solutions or state that there are no solutions. 24. a says "c is the knave," b says, "a is the knight," and c says "i am the spy."
