Kokiri-Mentat Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 What's red, white, and green and sits in corners?lol. i was gonna say [hide]same baby w/ a side of guacamole dip.[/hide]ok here's two still being solvedMany things can create one, it can be of any shape or size,it is created for various reasons, and it can shrink or grow with time.Four men sat down to play. They played all night till break of day.They played for gold and not for fun. With separate scores for everyone.When they had come to square accounts. They all had made quite fair amounts.Can you the paradox explain. If no one lost, how all could gain?and here's a new one. it's long, but not as difficult as the Pi riddle(imo).Suppose there are two identical twin sisters, one who always lies and the other who always tells the truth. Now, the truth teller is also totally accurate in all her beliefs; all true propositions she believes to be true and all false propositions she believes to be false. The lying sister is totally inaccurate in her beliefs; all true propositions she believes to be false, and all false propositions he believes to be true. The interesting thing is that each sister will give the same answer to the same question. For example, suppose you ask whether two plus two equals four. The accurate truth teller knows that it is and will truthfully answer yes. The inaccurate liar will believe that two plus two does not equal four (since he is inaccurate) and will then lie and say that it does; he will also answer yes.Now, two logicians were having an argument about the following question: Suppose one were to meet one of the two sisters alone. Would it be possible by asking him any number of yes-no questions to find out which one he is? One logician said, "No, it would not be possible because whatever answers you got to your questions, the other sister would have given the same answers." The second logician claimed that it was possible to find out. The second logician was right, and the puzzle has two parts: (1) How many questions are necessary?; and (2) more interesting yet, What was wrong with the first logician's argument?

The second logician was right, and the puzzle has two parts: (1) How many questions are necessary?; and (2) more interesting yet, What was wrong with the first logician's argument?Hehe, that's actually quite easy:[hide](1) Only one question is necessary: Do you always tell the truth?The accurate truth-teller will answer yes, for obvious reasons.The inaccurate liar will answer no. She is a liar, but because she is wrong about everything, she will consider herself to be a truth-teller. Therefore she will think that the correct answer is yes. So she will lie to you and say no.(2) The two sisters will always give the same answer if asked a question about the same object. If I were to ask them "Does John always tell the truth?", they will answer the same way. But the beauty of the word "you" is that it refers to a different object - a different person - for each sister. Basically, the trick is to ask them both a question that sounds the same but actually refers to different things for the two different sisters.[/hide] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I thought 'When I'm hot I'm free' was going to be icebergs since when they are frozen they float and then they melt when they're warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
