    Nyihaha and Bruhaha are two neighbouring islands, both having nn inhabitants. On island Nyihaha every inhabitant is either a Knight or a Knave. Knights always tell the truth and Knaves always lie. The inhabitants of island Bruhaha are normal people, who can choose to say whatever they want. When a visitor arrives on any of the two islands, the following ritual is performed: every inhabitant points randomly to another inhabitant (independently from each other with uniform distribution), and says He is a Knight'' or He is a Knave''. On island Nyihaha , Knights have to tell the truth and Knaves have to lie. On island Bruhaha every inhabitant says either He is a Knight'' or He is a Knave'' with probability 1/21/2 independently from each other. Sinbad arrives on island Bruhaha , but he does not know whether he is on island Nyihaha or island Bruhaha . Let pnp_n denote the probability that after observing the ritual he can rule out being on island Nyihaha . Is it true that pn→1p_n \to 1 if n→∞n \to \infty?
