The Rock Riddle


(Bravo) #1

Some people have PM’d me wanting to know what the rock riddle is without having to download the textures that I posted up in the CoD thread.

Some others have PM’d me with their answers, though none have been right so far.

Here is the riddle:

The prize for getting it right is 97mb of good quality textures. No clues, sorry.

Suppose there are two identical twin brothers, one who always lies and the other who always tells the truth. Now, the truth teller is also totally accurate in all his beliefs; all true propositions he believes to be true and all false propositions be believes to be false. The lying brother is totally inaccurate in his beliefs; all true propositions he believes to be false, and all false propositions he believes to be true. The interesting thing is that each brother will give the same answer to the same question. For example, suppose you ask whether two plus two equals four. The accurate truth teller knows that it is and will truthfully answer yes. The inaccurate liar will believe that two plus two does not equal four (since he is inaccurate) and will then lie and say that it does; he will also answer yes.

with that in mind, I’d ask “Which door?”

ask which statue the other statue would tell you to go through then choose the other one

Am i right? ive heard this before :???:

question is : “if i ask the other statue what door is it, what will they say.”

Both will be a lie

Very well done you clever clever person

Will update this with the texture file (assuming my usual host is back up - if not, might be a bit of a wait).

[edit: The host is still down for maintenence. They are the only ones I know that will take a permanent 100mb upload (they actually allow uploads of any size so long as it takes less than 10 hours to upload)]

so… i was wrong? because i said the same thing basicly just phrased differently


(Bravo) #7

no, you were correct also, it was just easier to ‘quote the last message’ in the quick reply box.
