Knights and Knaves puzzle

1) Every person is either a knight or a knave. Everything a knight says is true. Everything a knave says is false.2) Pictured on the last page are each of the knights and knaves. The knights are on the bottom row

(tarot cards) and the knaves are on the top row (jacks, in poker cards). Their kingdoms are: hearts, diamonds, spades, clubs, wands, pentacles, swords, cups.3) On page 4, Blaine and Charles say “The best canonical source...” What they say is true (take this as a fact), and therefore (hint) they are knights. (These clues are cultural references.)

The goal of the game is to determine which person is a knight or knave of which kingdom. After determining this, you can try to use the rest of the statements to find the “answer,” which is a sixteen letter word.

Example:

Two characters: Alice and BobAlice says: “We are both knaves.”

Alice cannot be a knight, because knights tell the truth, which contradicts her sentence.If Alice is a knave, then she is lying. This means that Bob is not a knave (they are not both knaves), so

he is a knight.

Solution: Alice is a knave and Bob is a knight.

See Wikipedia (search knights and knaves) for more examples.
