For each of the following problems, imagine that you are on a strange and unusual island, the natives of which are either Knights or Knaves. Knights may only tell the truth, whereas Knaves may only tell falsehoods. (Consequently, no one can be both a knight and a knave.) Each native wears medieval armor, and upon the breastplate of their armor, they have a single letter emblazoned (e.g., A, B, C, ....). Thus, the natives can be identified by the letter emblazoned on their breastplate.   You encounter two natives of this strange and unusual island –A and B. A says to you, “At least one of us is a knave. ”Is A a knight or a knave? How aboutB?
