In the Islanders problem, if one of the women was transgender and had changed her name, the police could make a mistake based on the name on the document.

I think there is an error in the Islanders. The islander we asked the question first indicates that both the other islanders are from the same island. Now if he is telling the truth we get the answer that is posted, but if he is lying it does not mean that both the others are from the other island; one could be from the same island and the other from the other island.

I believe there is an error in 'The Islanders'. The first islander indicates that both the other islanders are from the same island, but if he is lying, it doesn't mean both are from the other island. One could be from the same island and the other from the other island, making his statement still a lie.

You should clarify that the islanders are from the same island in the question.

Most, or all, of these questions are ambiguous, and therefore unsolvable by pure logic. For example, 'The Islanders'. Do your respondents lie about which island they come from, where the others come from, or both?
