I found this while browsing the net, and thought they were rather interesting puzzles. Link is here. One problem is that they do not have answers on the page, however, if people are willing we could post solutions (Even who is knight or knave) on the forum, although I'm not sure how many people are willing to do it.

Well, I took a look at it, sounds interesting, I like puzzles like that. I'm in.

I got the answer to the first one, how should we post answers? Should I do it with spoiler tags?

The first ones are easy, but if go to later ones like 288, it's pretty hard.

I think spoiler tags would be the best way to do them.
