guessed again?

Answer 32

elgee has give 'and' condition
therefore if it's both conditions are write then we can say that he is truth-teller
but bah is lair and he say that he is truth-teller therefore he is liar
bah is liar bcoz there is no truth-teller in these 3 people
sallote is liar that i assume to make condition write

Answer 33

Elgee can't say that he is the liar, if he is, then he would lie and say that he is the truth-teller, if he was the truth-teller than he would have told the truth and said that he was the truth-teller.
