A woman is vacationing on the Isle of Beguile, where natives always lie and visitors always tell the truth. Three men greet her as they pass. The blond fellow says, “We are all natives.” The guy with brown hair says, “Only one of us is a visitor.” And the man with red hair states, “You are a beautiful woman.” Is she?

We know that the blond fellow is lying b/cuz if they're all natives then they are all liars and he wouldn't have said that they are all natives.

The guy with the brown hair is telling the truth.
-all three being natives has already been proven to be a lie
-all three being visitors is also untrue (since the blond guy isn't a visitor)
-There can't be more than one visitor.
-If he had lied about only having one visitor and there were actually two visitors, then he would have been a native. but the blond guy is also a native. so you're still left w/ one visitor.
-Since he's telling the truth he is the only visitor.

Therefore, the red haired fellow is a native, and therefore a liar. So...by his standards...she wasn't a beautiful woman.

But I donno. she mighta been...and the guys were all idiots.
