Brain Teasers
Liars, Liars #2
In the land of Brainopia, there are three races of people: Mikkos, who tell the truth all the time, Kikkos, who always tell lies, and Zikkos who tell alternate false and true statements, in which the order is not known (i.e. true/false/true or false/true/false).
A foreigner visiting Brainopia approached three Brainopians, hoping to get a straight answer as to which of them was of what race. He only asked one Brainopian to tell the races of himself and his companions. This was the reply the foreigner received:
Person 1:
a. I am not the Mikko.
b. Person 2 is not the Kikko.
c. Person 3 is not the Zikko.
Can you help the foreigner determine who is who, assuming each person represents a different race?
