At the core of the Problem-solving Schools programme is the belief that everyone can learn and make progress in the study of mathematics while also finding joy in the subject. It just takes the right approach to foster a love of mathematics. buff.ly/3N7PuoL

Answer: Ask one person (say A): Who is the spy? If A is a knight, then the person they identify (say B) is a spy, and the other (C) is a knight. If A is a spy, then both B & C are knights. Either way C is a knight, so ask C: Who is the spy? The person that C indicates is the spy.
