Type T people ALWAYS tell the truth.
Type L people ALWAYS lie.
Now a person comes up to you and says, "I am a Type L person."

A tourist.A type T could not say that, because he would be lying. A type L couldn't say it, because he would be telling the truth. So the person couldn't be either. Also, since your are touring the island, there are probably others too. And a tourist could either lie or tell the truth. In this case, he would be lying.
