THE MIRROR
Jasmin and Jesper live in a country where there are only two different characters: some always lie - others always tell the truth.
Unfortunately, you don't look at people how they treat the truth.
Jasmin and Jesper met in a café.
After a few minutes, Jasmin says the following sentence: "I believe that we are both notorious liars."
We do not know how Jesper reacted to this statement.
But maybe it's still enough to explain the characters of the two?
Jasmine is a liar and Jesper is an advocate of the truth.
Jasmine cannot be a friend of the truth.
Otherwise your statement would be
"I think we're both notorious liars."
yes a lie.
So she's a liar.
Of course, if Jasmin always lies, what she said must also be a lie.
So Jesper and Jasmin cannot both be notorious liars at the same time.
That's why Jesper always tells the truth.
I found this logic puzzle in the book "Alice in Riddle Land" by Raymond Smullyan.
