    i got an invite a friend key. All of my friends already have it or don't want it. It's up for grabs if you can riddle me this:

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Three people are accused of breaking a Ming vase. Guilty people lie. Innocents are not. Who was/were the vase breakers?

    Frank: No one acted alone.
    June: Frank and Bob broke it.
    Bob: We all did it.

    Your options are:

    1 Bob and Frank.
    2 Frank.
    3 June and Bob.
    4 Bob<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    PM me with your answer/reasoning

    There may be issues with the latest batch of keys. If you got one and it doesn't work, check the forums. There should be news about it.

    Thansal got it the fastest. Hope you're a Canadian or American!

    /edit:

    I actually had two keys. Sending one to CyberMantis.
  • lolfighterlolfighter Snark, Dire Join Date: 2003-04-20 Member: 15693Members
    Since it has been solved now (I don't want the keys), please check my reasoning:

    <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'>Bob is guilty, because his statement is false. If Bob's statement were true, he would by his own admission be guilty himself - but if he is guilty, his statements are lies. He can't be speaking the truth AND be guilty, but if he is speaking the truth he IS guilty, in which case he doesn't speak the truth. It doesn't work. Bob's statement only makes sense if it is a lie, in which case he is guilty. Not to mention that "all three did it" is not even one of the answers to choose between.

    June is guilty because her statement implicates both Frank and Bob. But Frank says no-one acted alone. If this is a lie, that means the vase was broken by one person - but June said it was broken by two, so that doesn't work. Therefore June's statement only works if it is a lie, which means she is guilty.

    This makes all three statements work: No one acted alone (true, Bob and June did it), Frank and Bob did it (false, Bob and June did it) and everyone did it (false, Bob and June did it).

    Ergo the answer is number three: June and Bob.</span>

    <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'>Yup, though tbh I gave 2 answers based on the fact that you could consider not breaking the vase to be an action, which means that Frank is lying as either everyone worked together (thus he broke it and is lying, which doesn't work, same as bob), or SOMEONE worked alone, either in breaking the vase or in not breaking it. Your explanation for Bob still fits, however now June could be telling the truth leaving you with Frank and Bob.

    However the more obvious, and probably indented answer is obviously yours.
    </span>

    Any way, SentrySteve is awesome, yay for beta keys! I know what I'm doing when I get home.

    I feel yayed at all the time.

    Not sure what is going on with the next batch of my "keys" tho. It should be done, but apparently it isn't.

    Yes he is. My answer was:

    <span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'>I assume you say "innocents are not" you mean mean Innocents do not lie.

    Bob's statement, that they all did it, must be a lie since you do not provide the option for all to be guilty. With this we know that at least Bob is guilty.

    Now About Frank and June's statement, they are somewhat interesting. If June is telling the truth, then she is saying that Frank & Bob together broke it. Frank says that nobody acted alone, so if June's statement is true, then Frank's statement is also true.

    Now, the riddle states that Guilty people Lie and Innocents do not... but it is not explicit in stating whether or not guilty people can tell the truth too.

    Because of this, the answer is either that Frank and Bob are both guilty even though Frank tells the truth (Option 1) or if you do mean that guilty people can't tell the truth too, then June and Bob must be guilty because innocents do not lie and Frank's statement requires more than one other person.(Option 3).

    I hope that answers the riddle :)

    Guys, nice reasoning but you have been given 4 possible answers it is much quicker to work backwards from each answer to see which one satisfies the statements.

    Agreed, but I find it easier to explain it when working forwards for some reason.

    Whatever you're using to translate needs its bearings oiled quite drastically. There's not a single occurrance of the danish word for dancing on that page.

    Seriously, you're swedish and you're using a TRANSLATOR? Make yourself some potato glasses if you have that much trouble.
