is that number?

Solution

Problem 9
On Halloween children walked into the principal's office asking for candy.
They can be classified into three types: Some always lie; some always tell the
truth; and some alternately lie and tell the truth. The alternaters arbitrarily
choose their first response, either a lie or the truth, but each subsequent
statement has the opposite truth value from its predecessor. The principal asked
everyone the same three questions in this order.
"Are you a truth-teller?" The principal gave a piece of candy to each of the
children who answered yes.
"Are you an alternater?" The principal gave a piece of candy to each of the
children who answered yes.
"Are you a liar?" The principal gave a piece of candy to each of the children
who answered yes.
How many pieces of candy in all did the principal give to the children who
always tell the truth?
