The Island of Knights and Knaves

On the island of knights and knaves, Raymond Smullyan encountered a person who made the statement: "If I am a knight, then 2×2=4." This situation presents a classic logic puzzle where individuals on the island can either only tell the truth (knights) or only lie (knaves). Let's analyze the possibilities:

- If the person is a knight: - The statement "If I am a knight, then 2×2=4" is true, as knights always tell the truth. - Therefore, the person is a knight, and 2×2 indeed equals 4.

- If the person is a knave: - The statement "If I am a knight, then 2×2=4" is false, as knaves always lie. - This would mean that the person is not a knight, but a knave.

However, it's important to note that the information provided doesn't definitively confirm whether the person is a knight or a knave. The statement itself is ambiguous and doesn't allow for a clear determination of the person's identity.

This classic logic puzzle is designed to challenge one's ability to reason through the implications of statements made by individuals on the island of knights and knaves.
