At ADVANTAGE, all inhabitants are liar; but not all the time. Males speak the truth in the morning ..

Answer / anonymous

It is afternoon.
A and C are female; B is male.

See for yourself:
This means that A and C are telling the truth, so 1. "B will claim it is morning" and 2."A would claim it is afternoon".
B is male, and he is lying, so 3. "C would claim it is morning" should be false.

1. B is male and it is the afternoon, so he is lying when he says it is morning - thus it is the afternoon.

2. A would claim it is afternoon, which is right. A tells the truth and it is afternoon.

3. C, a truth teller, would claim it is afternoon not morning, so the statement is false which holds with B's afternoon lying habit.
