Formalize and solve the following problem. Abercrombie visited
the island of knights and knaves, where women can be knights or
knaves too. (This is the island in Chapter 2, in the textbook.
Everybody is male or female, but not both; everybody is a knight or
a knave, but not both.) Male knaves and female knights always lie,
the other inhabitants always tell the truth.) An inhabitant sent a
text to Abercrombie saying: “I am a female knave.” What did
Abercrombie conclude about the inhabitant?
