Abstract

In which we welcome the reader into the world of ladies and tigers created by Smullyan (2009). We formalised here the twelve puzzles appearing in the chapter Ladies or Tigers from Smullyan (2009). The proof displayed by Prover9 provides the reasoning steps that a human agent should follow to find himself the solution. In this way, Prover9 acts as a tool that augments human reasoning capabilities at problem-solving tasks.
