Clearly these riddles are far too simple.

I propose the following:

Quote:

You are about to enter a chamber inhabited by three omniscient gods, Past, Present, and Future. You do not know which god is which, and while they understand all languages, they answer only in their own (and will only answer Yes/No question), with either Da or Ja. You do not know which word means Yes and which means No.

Before you enter, you must formulate three questions, one asked to each god, in order to determine the identity of all three. When a question is asked, all three gods will answer: Past will answer the previous question asked, Present will answer the current question, and Future will answer the question you are about to ask. Dynamic questions are not allowed as they could potentially tear apart the space-time continuum with a paradox.

What three questions will allow you to successfully determine the identities of the three gods?

Shadami 10-26-2013 03:38 PM

why the heck would i bother? There is no apparent reason to enter the chamber. or to actually know which god is which.

I think that's actually correct to the way I wrote it. Do consider I was quoting from memory of my logic professor telling it to me several years ago. :P

I believe there's supposed to be a stipulation like, Past answers the last question that was asked by whoever came in before, and Future the opposite.

I just remember him showing us the answer and it required a huge proof to explain why it worked. :D

I believe the basic premise is you have to first ask a very specific "trick" question that will reveal 100% which answer means which, followed by another hypothetical along the lines of "If you were past, would you say yes to X?" and so on.

It's basically the classic 2 Guards and the doors to life and death, one who lies and one who always tells the truth turned up to 11. :P

I do like Shadami's Gordian Knot solution though.

Gallagher 10-26-2013 08:16 PM

Tiva, you got panties.

Can't tell your own underwear apart, honestly.

Tiva 10-26-2013 08:39 PM

nailed that one!

Shadami 10-27-2013 02:09 PM

Grats Katy. :]

Espy 10-27-2013 02:21 PM

Actually...overcast afternoons freak me out. I have really good spatial awareness, and a good chunk of it comes from shadows their positions and lengths relative to my own. But when it's supposed to be light, and yet overcast (meaning no streetlights, light pouring out from windows, etc) you don't HAVE a shadow, and neither does anything else. It's as if someone turned the shaders off in a simulation andall that's left are the matte colors.
