I've been thinking about this for months and I still can't figure out the answer.
There are 3 gods. 1 of them tells the truth all the time, 1 of them tells a lie all the time, and 1 of them always answers randomly.
You can only ask 3 questions with a yes or no answer before you have to guess which one is which. What questions would you ask?
By the way, if you ask a single question to all of them and they each responded, that's 3 questions already. 1 question is only 1 question when it is directed toward 1 god.
Anyone know how to solve this?
