Solution

Logic Puzzle: Yes and No Types on Kha-Kha Island

Given:

  • “Yes” type always asks questions where the truthful answer is Yes.
  • “No” type always asks questions where the truthful answer is No.

Scenario:

Kumar asks: "Is at least one of us of type 'No'?"

Analyze:

Let’s consider possibilities:

  1. Assume Kumar is “Yes” type:
    • Question must have truthful answer = “Yes”.
    • So, “At least one of us is ‘No’” is true.
    • Therefore, Kevin or Kumar is “No” type.
    • Since Kumar is “Yes” type, Kevin must be “No” type.
  2. Assume Kumar is “No” type:
    • Question must have truthful answer = “No”.
    • So, “At least one of us is ‘No’” is false.
    • That means neither Kumar nor Kevin is “No” type.
    • This contradicts Kumar being “No” type.
    • So, this is impossible.

Conclusion:

Kumar is a “Yes” type, and Kevin is a “No” type.
