Have you ever lied? Lied about what? Oops, just keep it confidential. This time I’d give you a brain teaser  about lying named Honestants and Swindlecants #1. Let’s come to the game!

Situation:

There are two kinds of people on a mysterious island. There are so-called Honestants who speak always the truth, and the others are Swindlecants who always lie.

Three fellows (A, B and C) are having a quarrel at the market.

A gringo goes by and asks the A fellow, “Are you an Honestant or a Swindlecant?”

The answer is incomprehensible so the gringo asks B, “What did A say?”

B answers, “A said that he is a Swindlecant.”

And to that says the fellow C, “Do not believe B, he is lying!”

Question:

Who is B and C?

This brain teaser I copied from Brain Teasers (http://brainden.com/logic-problems.htm). Just on click on that link, then you’ll get more brain teasers to tease your brain or even just to ease your boring day. When you get stuck, you can visit brain teasers forum to get extra “clues” from them whom have tried to solve it (but for me, it’s better to do it by myself as I did in solving this quiz).
