Very much along the right lines, but you have the count of nights wrong, and a few typos. Looking at the question, I can see that I didn't state explicitly that the fifth evening was the fifth evening after their arrival at the castle. I'll see if I can fix it.
But I'm sure you'll be able to come up with the answer I intended, now that I've clarified the count of the nights. |

I kind of cheated and read omk3 first post. Once I read his logic, even though he didn't answer the problem I, knew I was wrong and also knew the answer, but at that point it was not a challenge since he gave me the direction I needed to solve the teaser.

OK, I'll try to explain using the example you've started, looking only at what wise man A can know.
