There is no possible way to conclude what the first man's position is.

Savages only tell lies. We're determined that the third man is a savage.

"Both are lying," (in Savage perspective) = "Both are telling the truth."

The third man's Savage lie validates the first man's Noble claim.

So to put it blatantly.

If the the third man was a Noble, the first two would HAVE to be Savages.

Surely that's understandable now?
