Question 263311:
Hello Sir
Sir, does this mean there is some sort of relativity between the god of lies' reply and god of truths' reply ?
The question is
You are stranded on an Island and on that island are 3 all knowing all powerful gods. One god is the god of truth, who always tells the truth and can never lie. The second god is the god of lies, he always lies and never tells the truth. The 3rd god is the god of chaos, he tells both lies and truths, however, completely randomly. The gods appear as identical twins, they all look the same. The gods also speak a language that you do not understand, except that you know that A and B are the responses yes and no (you however do not know which word is yes and which is no). You can only ask 3 yes or no questions to the gods in order to figure out which god is which. What 3 questions do you ask?
I answered :
Number the gods 1, 2, and 3.
“if I ask 3rd god of chaos 'you are one god of truth, who always tells the truth, right?' what would 3rd God
say?"
Then, one god : can't reply. <- that's because one god is the god of truth,who always tells the truth but he don't know what 3rd god would say.
2nd god : Yes or No.
3rd god : Yes or No.
*Surely, both 3rd and 2nd God will reply, yes or no whatever.
EXAMPLE-
# 1.
Ask god 1 and 2 : “if I ask 3rd god of chaos 'you are one god of truth, who always tells the truth, right?' what would 3rd God
say?"
God 1 : reply = Yes or No
God 2 : reply = Yes or No
#2.
Ask god 3 : "f I ask 3rd god of chaos 'you are one god of truth, who always tells the truth, right?' what would 3rd God
say?"
God 3 : = Can't reply.
#3.
Ask God 3 : " is god 2 god of lies,who always lies ? "
God 3 : = Yes.
hence, god 1 = god of chaos
god 2 = god of lies
god 3 = god of truths
or
Answer 2 :
Number the gods 1, 2, and 3. Ask god 1: Would god 2 say that 2+2=4? If he answers, then remember his answer and ask god 2: would god 3 say that 2+2=4?
If god 1 doesn't answer your question then god 2 is the chaos god. You now have 2 questions to determine which god is which from gods 1 and 2. So ask god 1: would god 3 say that 2+2=4?
If god 2 doesn't answer your question then god 3 is the chaos god. You have god 1's answer. And if gods 1 and 2 both answer, then god 1 is the chaos god and you have god 2's answer.
So you've pinpointed the chaos god. Call the remaining gods A and B, so that A is the one who you have already asked the "would god B say that 2+2=4" question of.
However god A answered, it meant "no," so now you know which word is "no." Now ask god A, "would god B say you are the lying god?" If he says yes, god A is the truth telling god and god B is the liar; if he says no, god A is the liar and god B is the truth telling god.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Brooke ga-eul Kim

Question 325276: I have 3 questions on my exercise that really have me stumped.
Here are the directions for the exercise
"In each of these examples, and in all exercises immediately following, a formal proof for each argument may be constructed by adding just two additional statements. This will be an easy task if the nine elementary valid argument forms are clearly in mind. Bear in mind that the final line in the sequence of each proof is always the conclusion of the argument being proved."
(1). V v W
~V
Therefore W v X
(2) Q > R
R > S
~S
Therefore ~Q . ~R
(3)(A v B) > ~C
C V D
A
Therefore D.

p:the food is good
q: I eat too much
r: I'll exercise
If the food is not good, I won't eat too much.

Question 338560: Let:
A = {1,2,3,4,6,7,11)
B = {1,3,5,6,8,11}
C = {1,2,3,4,5,8,9,10}
Find the bitwise:
a. A XOR B
b. B DIFF C
NOTE:
I am familiar with AND, OR, XOR but using bits (o's and 1's) i could carry out the operations but in this case A, B and C are defined as a set I am not sure how to carry on.
a.) Are we simply looking for numbers in A and not in B as well as numbers in B and not in A which will be
ANS: A XOR B will be {2,4,5,7,8}
b.) In this case are we looking for what is in B and not in C?
B DIFF C ANS: {
