NeoCactuar Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Thats true, but the lair could be standing on the truth telling side, or the truth teller could be on the lairs side. You must find out what side is what. NOT who is a lair and who is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 Well, I have 2 riddles at the moment, and they're both fairly easy. 1. One train was in the state of The Right Side. It was heading for the border of The Left Side at 90 miles per hour. Another train was in the state of The Left Side. It was heading for the border of The Right Side at 80 miles per hour. They were on the same track, not knowing that each other were heading in the opposite direction. If both the trains crashed exactly on the border that seperated The Left Side from The Right Side, where would they burry the survivers? 2. If an electric train was travelling north at 40 miles per hour, and the wind was blowing at 50 miles per hour in the same direction, which way would the smoke blow? These are fairly easy ones once you think about them. And Neo, I'm still trying to figure your riddle, but I haven't had any luck yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can ask one person, one question to find out what the Truth telling side is. But he must find his friend before nightfall. What question does he ask? [/B][/QUOTE][FONT=century gothic]Okay, I've been chewing on this ever since you first posted it up.....and I think I've got it pretty well figured out. [FINALLY!] It can't be a yes/no answer. Especially if you can only ask one question. If you asked two, you could ask something like, "Is water wet?" Then, by their answer, you would know if they were a liar or not, and you could then proceed to ask them which side of the village you were on. But you can only ask one question, so that won't work. Asking them if they were a liar or not would do no good whatsoever, since everyone's mixed up during the day. You cannot just ask which side of the village you are on. It wouldn't work. You would get a different answer if you asked a truth-teller or a liar, and you wouldn't be able to tell. EX: Is this the liar side? [answer=yes] Liar: No. Truth-teller: Yes EX: Is this the liar side? [answer=no] Liar: Yes. Truth-teller: No. And you wouldn't know if the person you asked was a liar or not. So what you need to do is ask a question where it wouldn't matter, where they would both have the same answer. How is [i]that[/i] possible? Well, again, it wouldn't just be a yes/no question. You would have to word it kinda funny. Not ask them what [i]they[/i] think, but what the [i]other[/i] party in the village would say. For sake of demonstration, you are on the Liar side of the village. Suppose you went up to someone who was a liar, and asked: if I asked the people who live on the other side of the village from you which side of the village this is, what would they say? Well, the people living on the other side of the village would be truthtellers, and they would say, "This is the lying side of the village." Thus, the person you asked, who always lies, would tell you, "They would say this is the Truth-telling side of the village." Now, what would happen if you asked a truthteller the same question? [if I asked the people who live on the other side of the village from you which side of the village this is, what would they say?] Well, you're still on the liar side. The people living on the opposite side as the truth-tellers would be the liars. They would say you were on the truth-telling side. The truth-teller you asked would have to be honest about this, and say so. So, if you were on the Liar Side, and asked "if I asked the people who live on the other side of the village from you which side of the village this is, what would they say?" you would always be told you were on the truth-telling side. If you were on the truth-telling side, and asked the same question, you would always be told, the liar side. Thus, to find his friend, he would simply need to ask this question, and reverse the answer he gets. [EDIT]Of course, there is also the insanely simple way AJ2K1 posted.... Do I always make things too complicated, or what? :p[/EDIT][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
