The rather mundane world of Rikaitch

I wouldn't ask any one of them. To quote the venerable House - Everybody Lies.


Chk chk, boom. No men, no problem. (not all men, just those in this riddle!)

I can't stand liars, nor can I get my brain around riddles at 7 in the morning.

I'll go get that coffee now, and try to become human, shall I?


Erin - chk chk boom? Not a reference to everybody's favourite bogan?

Gravatar Hmmm, right the question about 3 men. I know a similar one regarding 2 men, 2 doors (one leading to heaven and one to hell), one man lies and one tells the truth. You need to figure out which door leads to where: you do this by asking either man "if i asked the other man which door leads to heaven, what would he tell me?" and then you do the opposite. Is your question a similar type of thing?


Gravatar Are you allowed to torture them?


Gravatar I have to challenge your assertions about the second set. The letter 'K', although written 'k' in Lower Case on a PC/Typewriter etc should in fact have a round bit at the top.
Torture, Debster? Sure, if it helps...


Gravatar It always helps. Do we still have to ask the questions though?


Gravatar Well, you can't ask "If I ask the man to your left (or right) 'Are you the truth teller?' would he say yes?" Because one of them would maybe say yes, maybe say no, so the answer would be a 'maybe'.

Is the 'one who always tells the truth teller' one that will always reveal who the truth teller, or is it a typo and you meant 'one who always tells the truth'?


Gravatar I agree with TRT - ask the man who asks the truth teller a question... e.g. "do you like apples" and he will ask the man who tells the truth the same question, thus revealing which man tells the truth. Ta-Da!!


Gravatar "on the back") was the rest of that last sentence (in case any weirdos think I was patting myself anywhere else)


Gravatar Yeah right ...
