# The 3 Gods riddle

I'm not entirely sure which boards would be the correct one for this, however as this board does answer logical question I posted here.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hardest_Logic_Puzzle_Ever

In the three Gods riddle one tells a lie one tells the truth and the final god gives a random answer we will call the 3 Gods {A,B,C} where it is not known which is the lies, tells the truth or gives a random answer. The gods understands English but only replies in their own language yes and no {da,ja} of which you do not know which is which. You have to determine which of the gods {A,B,C} is the liar,true,random god with only three questions.

The first question from the solution is

If I asked you 'Are you Random?' in your current mental state, would you say ja?

however is this really one question as there are two questions evaluated

$$(are\ you\ Random?) \iff "ja"$$

This is just another way of asking:

1: are you random?
2: was the answer to the first question ja?


can this really be considered as one question if you have a composition/combination of two questions?

• Puzzling.SE would seem more appropriate for this question. In fact, this riddle itself (with different characters) is discussed here, which may-or-may-not address your concerns. – Blue Sep 20 '18 at 9:22
