What about the truth teller one?  And I went back and read the first one and I understood why i got the answer right  I forgot the none or one of them is true and I guessed a similar reason to the reason necessary to deduce the correct one

1. „I did it – I am guilty.“
2. There is no such sentence.
3. „I am innocent.“
4. „Either I am an honestant and innocent, or I am a swindlecant and guilty.“ = „I am either an innocent honestant, or a guilty swindlecant.“

Nah I meant the island one. If you said you were a truth teller when you weren't...they couldn't figure out any other way.

Which day did they say that?

Thursday?

Thursday. Lion: Yesterday I was lying. This is truth because he lies on Wednesdays and tells the truth on Thursdays. Unicorn: So was I. This is a lie because he tells the truth on Wednesdays and lies on Thursdays.

Fast train to Clarksville!
Mr. Moody grumbles about bad time-keeping trains from morning till night!
On one particular morning he was quiet justified.
His train left on time for the one hour journey, to Clarksville, and it arrived 5 minutes late.
However, Mr. Moody's watch showed it to be 3 minutes early, so he adjusted his watch by putting it forward 3 minutes.
His watch kept time during the day, and on the return journey in the evening the train started on time, according to his watch, and arrived on time, according to the station clock.
If the train traveled 25 percent faster on the return journey than it did on the morning journey, was the station clock fast or slow, and by how much?

To whomever solves this, could you include your rationale in the answer?
It's cool to see people get the right answer but it's way more interesting to learn from them
