George Boolos puzzle...(wordings are changed)
Once you reach to a remote small village in a jungle, and you come accros three men.
One of them always speak truth
One of them akways speaks lie
One of them speak either truth or lie randomly
Now your task is to find out the idendity of three men by asking three questions,one to each.
Problem is queations should be ansewrable as Yes or No
They can undertand your laungage,but you do not know which is ' Yes 'or which one is 'No'., by listining them
You can ask more than one questions to each one.
.... ....... ... ...
Now probable solution as worked out by me...(not tested by anyone)
Let three persons are
X......always speaks truth
Y.......always speaks lie
Z.......Random truth or lie
Let sound of 'Yes' ...sounds like ..A
Let sound of 'No'...sounds like.....B
Now pickup a stone and ask each one
Is this a stone?
Answers wil be A,B and A (orB)
As X... will say ..yes....A sound
Y ...will say....No.....B sound
Z ..will say....yes or no...A or B sound
Keep on asking the same question till any one changes sound from A to B ,or B to A
One who changes is a third person ...Z ..
Random ,because A and B will not change answer and hence sound of answer
Now we have person X and Y
Ask X....whether Y speaks truth?
Answer will be......No..B sound
Ask Y ....whether X speaks truth
Answer will be agsin ..No...B sound
As we know here both will say No...B sound....we can now understand ..
What is ..No..B sound ..how is the sound of No
Finaly Ask X and Y previous question
Is this a stone?
One who sounds like B...No..is a lier .
Hence person Y
Remaing is person X...truth speaking
