As usual Silas inquired about their clans. "Three of us are Truthfuls," said the first. "That's right, three of us are Truthfuls," the second agreed. "No, only two of us re Truthfulls," said the third. :The first three are all lying," said the fourth. The answer of the fifth man left no doubt in Silas' mind as to the clan affiliation of each troll. To which cland did the each belong?   Anonymous
