[KUNGLAO3 0]

hey can you explain the second puzzle because I don't get it

hi man didt know you come here

[impaleferno_XXX 38]

Well, you're rejecting free crystals then, which isn't so smart!

They are not free. You cannot take the crystals for your own will. You must answer the questions correctly with the chance of being the first, second, or third person to answer the questions correctly.

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

A group of Wasp-Smokys are stranded on Island, with assorted coloured paints. They are all perfect logicians - if a conclusion can be logically deduced, they will do it instantly. Each of them can see out of his own muzzle, but cannot see himself. This means each can see the colour paint of everyone else, but does not know the colour of his own tank. Every night at midnight, a ferry stops at the island, to take the tanks to safety. But, there is a catch. Tanks can only leave the island if they know what colour paint they have. Other than sight, they cannot communicate (being tanks of course). There are no mirrors, reflecting surfaces on the island, and everyone knows the rules in this paragraph.

 

On this island, there are 20 white coloured tanks, and 20 black coloured tanks, although the tanks do not know this. So any given white tank can see 19 white tanks and 20 black tanks, but this doesn't tell himself what colour he has. For all he knows, he could have a black paint and there are 21 black tanks in total, or he could have a red, or orange paint.

 

Suddenly, on one day, a booming voice calls from the sky, and shouts:

 

"There is a white tank on the island"

 

Who leaves, and on which following night?

What on earth, I don't know.

Gave rubbish answer for #2, doubt it's right. It's too complicated to think of as a answer.

That, my dear friend, is the most truest statement I have seen here. So true that it gave me a bone fracture.

 

Not really. Just for effect lol

[TheFlash413 32]

I have no idea what the second one is.

Ah I was talking to canadarules, who was saying how he knew the correct answers but chose not to enter :) course they're not literally free but you get what I mean!

[1stsuperwhitedragon 408]

hi man didt know you come here

What?!

[BlazingCoder 108]

Nice challenging questions. :D

[cheese788 0]

I would say "Any Vikings answer this question, where's the other Viking.

[cheese788 0]

1. I would say "any people inside a Viking, push me towards a Viking.

[applications 993]

There are three tanks in front of you: two Vikings and  Dictator. However, you are blindfolded, so you cannot see which one is which.

 

You can ask one yes-no question to any one of the three tanks. If you ask the question to a Viking, he will answer your question truthfully. If you ask the question to the Dictator, he will answer randomly (he could answer yes or no).

 

What single question can you ask to identify, with certainty, the location of one of the Vikings?

In a row, vertical,..... or something? In a so each front touches the back of the other?

I dont even understand this how can you figure out "who leaves" if you dident even name the tanks -_- or what day it was on the thing

 

both questions are too inspecific

[generalpotato_PRO 1,076]

^ well if they were more specific then it would be too easy -_-

for the first question just assume they're in a straight line in front of you

for the second one they are simply named "white tank" or "black tank" and assume the given white tank info is given on the first day.

i cant get it,that..can i ask a yes question and a no question?

In the first question, you can only ask one question where the only acceptable responses are "yes" and "no".

Nothing saying that.

[Juicing_Swan 0]

yes-no question

[HUGHIY 568]

yes-no question

Sorry, that was me not reading properly. I read properly when submitting the answer but not now :P.

[bo2844 387]

Hmmm, what would be the point of asking a question to the dictator? LOL

[applications 993]

in Mines I asked one and it identifys where BOTH ARE, since you can hear his voice the smaller it is the farther away so yea .->

[thunder5876 1]

My question for the viking will be, what is the speed of your tank?

[rippr 21]

For the first question, can you choose which tank you will ask?? That does not make sense as you don't know which is which and your blinded.... :/

I don't understand what you mean by 'location'. Are the tanks in a row? Do I have to figure out where the Viking is in the row?
