One of us always tells the truth, one of us always lies.
The confusion in the comments is why you shouldn’t take life advice from the Internet.
Haven’t laughed like this in quite some time
I don’t get it
I thought it was an arrow to the knee joke…
The tragedy being that despite being married to him, she still doesn’t know which one he is.
Maybe they get assigned roles each day at random to increase security?
Now I want to see the guard with two wives.
Wouldn’t he still answer no?
Correct. If he’s the lying guard and something happened, or the truthful guard and nothing did, then in either case he would answer “no” to all the questions.
It’s interesting, because it makes me think about the solution to the original puzzle. In that one, you don’t care about the individuals’ identities, you just care about the answer, so you actually don’t know which one lies and which one tells the truth at the end. If the goal was to find out which one is which, you would need one more question: “and which one do you think I should take?” If he gives the same answer, he’s the liar; if he gives the opposite answer, he’s the truthful one. (Or just ask a question with a known answer first.)
Ask either which way the other guard will tell you to take. They’ll both tell you the wrong path.
Yes, that’s the classic solution to the riddle.
I guess she don’t know if she got the one that lies or the one that tells the truth.
no, because this one is obviously lying, so the other one tells the truth. (or as the riddle is normally solved, you know the answer is false because no matter which you ask, they’ll end up giving you the wrong answer)
you would know what the real answer that way, but shouldnt the lying guard still answer with a no just because the truth guard would answer with a yes?
I misread your original question lol yeah you’re right.
Im afraid youve misread again then, because the original question wasnt mine x3
that would require reading which, obviously my brain decided wasn’t required in this thread. :(
It happens to the best oh us
