Sweden

Well, this is my Swedish blog. For those of you who are unclear, it is so called because it the majority of it will be written in Sweden (not in Swedish), where I'm going to be living from March 15th until sometime in September.
I'll try to update at least once or twice a week, and I suspect that as time passes, I'll develop a more specific schedule, but as of now, that's how it is.

**Logic Puzzle of the week**
(Adapted from a puzzle in Ramond Smullyan's What Is the Name of This Book?)
You are visiting the island of knights and knaves, so called because it is entirely populated by knights, who always tell the truth, and knaves, who always lie. Those who are not from the island are dubbed "Normals," and can say anything.
The princess of the island is looking for a husband, but the king has imposed two restrictions on her choice. First, he must be a normal, knights being too uppity, and knaves being slimy. Second, he must be able to prove that he is a normal in one phrase.
Your task: Come up with such a phrase.

If you've already heard this, keep your mouth shut and don't spoil it for everyone else.

Should we post here with the answer or email you directly?

Either one works; If you get it right away, then email it to me, if it's been a while, you can post it.
