Logic Riddle For Computer People....

[Mavafanculo]

1) There's two computers in a room

2) One computer always lies, the other always tells the truth.

3) The room has two doors.

3) Behind one door is instant death by fire, the other door leads to freedom.

4) You dont know which computer is which. (edited thanks to the blunt one)

5) If you can only ask 1 question to try to secure your freedom, what would the question be???

Only in double indirection does your freedom lie.

Impossible ! ! ! (?)

You have to ask at least one question to EACH computer....

 

[blut wump]

I just read instruction 4. You might want to change that bit about being able to choose which computer you ask.

yup ur right

 

[anthrax]

the question I'd ask is

What would the other computer say if I asked him what door leads to freedom

and I'd go to the other door

 

[squatpuke]

You'd have to ask that question to each computer = 2 questions.

Makes sense.

 

[blut wump]

You'd have to ask that question to each computer = 2 questions.

By asking one what the other would say, you're getting a single answer which is filtered through both responses and therefore false.

 

[squatpuke]

But you still wouldn't know if the computer you're asking is sending a lie or giving you a truth.

 

[blut wump]

Look at the two cases, call the computers T and L
a) You ask T what L would say leads to freedom.
T knows that L would lie and tells you what L would say which is wrong so you choose the other one.

b) You ask L what T would say leads to freedom.
L knows that T would tell the truth. L then reverses what he knows T would say. You know that L would reverse it so you know that result is false and you choose the other one.

Either way, you effectively have an answer that has locically been processed by both of them and so you know it to be false.
Kind of "True of False" or "False of True"

This does assume that the two computers know about each other. I think the Network Admin should just improve his security and lock out anyone who comes into the room.

 

[squatpuke]

processing.......

I'd smash both computers and hopefully walk through the firey death door.

It's just kinda how I feel right now.

A variation

You are lost in the woods.. there are 2 Indian tribes that inhabit the forest. One tribe are cannabils and will eat everyone who comes to their camp. They also always Lie.

The second tribe are friendly to strangers and always tell the truth..

You meet an Indian while you are lost...What question do you ask him??

 

[Raina]

Hopefully someone has a hockey stick.

 

[bullett]

My question would be......................










WHY THE FUCK DID I COME IN THIS FUCKIN ROOM????

 

[thefantom1]

The answer is.. Which way to your camp?

 

[Basic_wonder]

Dang this feels like a CS exam ....

 

[dahamn]

Go thru the same door you came in

ok there's 2 guys who each want to have sex with 2 girls (ie each guy with each girl)
there's only 2 condoms. The rule is that a condom MUST be worn, and no body fluids exchanged. how do they do it?
(it's not a trick question, no blowjobs or anal. Pervs.)

 

[anthrax]

1st guy w/ 1st chick w/ 1st condom
1st guy w/ 2nd chick w/o condom

2nd guy w/ 1st chick w/o condom
2nd guy w/ 2nd chick w/ 2nd condom

 

[Mavafanculo]

before either guy cum's, just switch condoms with the other guy (so condom 1 will always be with girl 1, & condom 2 with girl 2) ewwww

 

[blut wump]

Guy1 puts on Condom1
Guy1 puts on Condom2 over the top of Condom1

Guy1, now wearing two condoms, fucks Chick1, assuming he can ever get off
Guy1 removes Condom2, still wearing Condom1 he fucks Chick2, amazed at the sensitivity of just a single condom

He's now wearing Condom1 with Chick2's fluids and Condom2 has Chick1's fluids but is dry on the inside.

Guy2 puts on Condom2 which is still dry on the inside and fucks Chick1. Guy1 gives Guy2 Condom1 which he puts over the top of Condom2 which he's still wearing and fucks Chick2. It takes them all night until they eventually stick electrodes on his prostate.

Orgasms galore.

same principle, better implementation. in a patent infringement suit, I would win in court of original hearing, but it would be overturned on appeal, then we would settle out of court.

Agreed, we'll split the profits and live in the Caribbean from where we can run a puzzle-solving empire having our brains stimulated by scantily-clad mulattresses.

Squatpuke, I've finally worked out how come the guy in your avatar got that way. His parents couldn't be bothered to potty-train him so they just tied a knot in it.
