Description : No one has asked a question in at least an hour, so I'm asking ... what question would you ask if you didn't think it would get modded for one reason or another?

Last Answer : the Mods are good at letting people ask just about any real question, as long as we use semi-proper wording and correct spelling.

Three gods, A, B, and C, are called, in some order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is completely random. You must determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes-or-no questions, and each question must be posed to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language. In their unknown language, the words for 'yes' and 'no' are 'da' and 'ja', in some order. You do not know which word means which. So, which questions would you ask to identify each god? And no, it’s not a trick question. As a matter of fact, there are multiple ways to get the correct answer. -Riddles

Last Answer : 1. To god A: Does da' mean yes' if and only if you are True and if and only if B is Random? (We supposed A said, ja, making B True or False). 2. To god B: Does da mean yes' if and ... only if A is Random? Since B's True, he must say da, which means A is Random, leaving C to be False.
