Which Alice?

Solutions to the Puzzles
On the other hand, the Queen could equally as well have passed her
and said, "You predicted you would pass, and since you passed, you
predicted correctly; so you answered the last question right, and
that's why you pass. (Of course, both reasonings are circular, but
neither one is any worse than the other!)
On the other hand, if Alice answered no, then the Queen could
neither pass her nor fail her. If the Queen passed her, then Alice
did not predict correctly, and having given the wrong answer, by all
rights she should have failed! If the Queen failed her, then Alice
predicted correctly, and having given the right answer, she should
have passed! So the Queen could neither pass her nor fail her.
As I said, Alice was more interested in not failing than in passing;
hence she answered, "No," and this, indeed, completely stymied the
Queen.

ROUND ONE If the speaker were telling the truth, then he
would be Tweedledum and he would be carrying a black card, but
he cannot be speaking the truth and also carry a black card.
Therefore, he must be lying. This means that his card really is
black, and since his statement was false, he is not really Tweedledum
carrying a black card; so he is Tweedledee carrying a black
card.
ROUND TWO The speaker asserts that he is not Tweedledum
carrying a red card. His assertion must be true, for if he were
Tweedledum carrying a red card, then, since his card is red, he
couldn't lie and say that he is not Tweedledum carrying a red card.
So it is true that he is not Tweedledum carrying a red card. Since his
statement is true, then he must in fact be carrying a red card. But
