Three Gods Riddle
This Hard puzzle in the “logic” category rewards careful reading and step-by-step reasoning. Use the hint if you are stuck, then compare your approach with the explained answer.
You are standing before three gods. One is named True, who always tells the truth. One is named False, who always lies. One is named Random, who answers randomly.
You do not know which god is which.
You may ask exactly three yes-or-no questions, and each question must be addressed to exactly one god.
There is one more complication: the gods answer in their own language, where the words for yes and no are da and ja, but you do not know which word means which.
Can you determine the identity of all three gods in just three questions?
