NEW CHALLENGE AND A REMINDER

First, the reminder:  Tickets are on sale for the Military Ball, which will be held at Brookside Manor on Friday, 25 March.  The tickets are $38 each and the evening will most definitely be "an affair to remember." (For a candy bar, name who starred in that movie!).  RSVP by Friday, 18 March.

Now here's the challenge, and it's a tough one:  You are at the airport ready to leave a most peculiar island and fly home. Before being allowed on the plane, you must pass a final test. You are introduced to two residents, Charles and Earl. Charles says, "Earl is a Knight." Earl says, "Charles is not a Knight." One is telling the truth, but is not a Knight. Who is it?


Fact list:

Knights always tell the truth.

Knaves always lie.

Normals sometimes lie, and sometimes tell the truth.

Either Charles or Earl is a truth-telling Normal.

Charles says, "Earl is a Knight."

Earl says, "Charles is not a Knight."
