You first asked Elgee. "Are Bah and Sallote both truth-tellers?" Elgee replied, "Yes" You then asled, "Is Bah a truth-teller?". To your surprise, Elgee answered "No". Determine what they are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bah is a truth teller and sallote is a liar, elgee is a liar

I think he's correct.. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if elgee is a truth teller and elgee told the truth the first time and the second there is a contradiction. So elgee is a liar, which makes bah a truth teller. for the first statement to be a lie, sallote must be a iar.
