True Philo-sophy--The Hardest Logic Problem*

2/0 31.05.2008 05:01 English

1: (The possible order of the gods' answers.)

2: Three gods A, B, and C are called, in some order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god.

3: The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for “yes” and “no” are “da” and “ja”, in some order. You do not know which word means which.

3. chris71 - 31.05.2008 13:40 My question for the gods is:
   Damned Gods, don't you have anything better to do than get humans crazy with such impossibles questions about yours identity crisis?
4. DeaconBarry - 31.05.2008 13:43 I would guess that the solution involves asking the god how each of the other gods would answer, if this is a horrendous development of the "All Cretans are liars" (or is it Thebans) problem.
