vava Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 Forgive me, but just a hunch - does this have to do with pronounciation? Ie. Voiceless & voiced consonents? Or something of that ilk... Hmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or something of that ilk... Hmmm... Nope. But it does have something to do with spelling and numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nairi Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 (edited) I opened this topic for everyone to post puzzles here, not just me.... Only because I like you, here's one: You probably already know this one, but let's see how many can remember it You want to go to Village A and come to a crossroad. There's one man who either always tells the truth or always lies. You don't know this, and you can only ask one question that will definitely get you to Village A. What question will you ask?

vava Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Nairi, Question: When you say crossraods, that implies there are 3 possiblities for the correct direction of village A, left, straight ahead, or right. - Is that the case, or are you at a T intersection where your choices are only left or right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairi Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Oops, I meant a T intersection, although I'm not sure that should make a big difference, perhaps a crossroad would be just a little more challenging... So you choose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 I just re-read the question - is there only ONE man, or two? (ie. one that always lies, and one that tells the truth)? Sorry about all the clarifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vava Posted November 27, 2003 Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Ok nevermind: Here's the answer: You'd have to ask the ONE man the following: "Which road would you tell me is the way to Village A, TOMORROW?" If he's the truth teller, he would point to the village. If he's the liar, he knows he will lie tomorrow (and so point the wrong way) so he will also point to the direction of the village. Is that good enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairi Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2003 Yay!! Not bad! Can you think of another question? There's loads of answers to this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairi Posted August 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Here's another one: Sip met the cook from California and Azat met the one from New York. What is "one" in "Azat met the one from New York"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Azat, I thought we’ve decided to keep things confidential? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azat Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Oh... Eve, but she slipped something in my drink and I started to talk. so it's all Nairi's fault... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairi Posted August 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Btw, in case you didn;t the get the question, it's: what does "one" refer to in "Azat met the one from NY"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anileve Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Does anyone see what I see? Nairi you have one blank post right before your last one and on the previous page all of the posts are shifted to the left. Unless I didn't get enough sleep. ========== Five suspects were rounded up in connection with the famous "Cock Robin Murder" (I swear it wasn't inspired by the circumcision thread). Their statements were as follows: A: "C and D are lying." B: "A and E are lying." C: "B and D are lying." D: "C and E are lying." E: "A and B are lying." Who is lying? These are about the only puzzles I get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nairi Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Okay since no one is answering to the "puzzle", here's what's interesting (of what I know): obviously, as you guessed, "one" refers to "cook". But if we change the sentence a little and say: Sip met the student of CS and Azat the one of Art. it's not grammatically correct. Right? Now try the same thing in Armenian and see what happens. Eve, I would guess D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you tell me what Cock Robin Murder was. I am having trouble understanding this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
