I don't understand how you're supposed to solve this. I wrote out all the answers (which I'm about to cut and paste from someone else's post on this forum) but I don't see how you come to (SPOILER) Ralph/Red as the answer.
The raw data is:
Bart R: My sister tells the truth when she is blue.
Bart Y: Some blue sprites always lie. Some always tell the truth.
Bart B: Yancy and I are like the most other sprites.
Betty R: The sprite who can make it safe for you to cross can only do so when the first letter of its name is different from the first letter of its color.
Betty Y: The sorcerer Sanwe is evil.
Betty B: Only a blue sprite can make it safe for you to cross.
Jane R: When I am blue, the sprite who can make it safe for you to cross is red.
Jane Y: My brother tells the truth when he is blue.
Jane B: Some blue sprites always lie. Some always tell the truth.
Jim R: Yellow sprites always lie.
Jim Y: My sister tells the truth when she is blue.
Jim B: The sprite who can make it safe for you to cross can only do so when the first letter of its name is different from the first letter of its color.
Rachel R: My brother is either Bart or Yancy.
Rachel Y: When I am yellow, the sprite who can make it safe for you to cross is red.
Rachel B: Red sprites always lie.
Ralph R: Only a blue sprite can make it safe for you to cross.
Ralph Y: The sprite who can make it safe for you to cross can only do so when the first letter of its name is the same as the first letter of its color.
Ralph B: Unlike most other sprites, my sister's name doesn't start with the same letter as mine.
Yancy R: My sister lies when she is blue.
Yancy Y: There are eight of us, as you can see (the Guard's don't count). Four of us are boys, like me. Four are girls. We are four pairs of brother and sister.
Yancy B: Yellow sprits always tell the truth.
Yvonne R: Only a yellow sprite can it make safe for you to cross.
Yvonne Y: Only a red sprite can it make safe for you to cross.
Yvonne B: Only a red sprite can it make safe for you to cross.
At first I thought all the Yellow sprites tell the truth, but that's not so. In which case, how are you supposed to solve this?
