AqlBeast Posted November 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) This is just a reminder about my contest. Since it is about two days away. I am going to give a sample puzzle/riddle to warm up for the contest [img]http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif[/img] [][][] After his spaceship landed on Mars, astronaut Jonathan Mark disembarked and approached the first Martian he saw. "Am I headed for the geolocial dig?" he asked. The martian rubbed is stomach. Mark knew that Martians could understand some Earth-talk, but were not able to speak it. And astronaut Mark, like so many Eartlings, could niether speak nor understand Martian gestures, he didn't know whether rubbing the stomach meant yes or no. But by asking one additional question, Mark was able to find out the meaning of the rubbing gesture. What was the question Mark asked?

Aelis Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Are you a martian? (or he could ask any known fact) Then the martian would do the gesture for "yes" and Jonathan would know what he wanted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totenkopf Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 he asks "can you rub mine as well?" but seriously, he asks "would you rub your stomach if i asked you whether rubbing your stomach means yes?" - if the martian rubs his stomach then it means yes, if he does something else than that means yes and the rubbing the stomach means no ps - asking directly whether rubbing the stomach means yes would always yield a thorough rubbing, since if it means yes he does rub his stomach and if it means no he still rubs his stomach in reply to the question (same with asking whether it means no, since if it means no the martian would do the sign for yes and if it does mean yes the martian would do the sign for no) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jubaris Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 he asked "Metal Bunny is awesome, right?" Martian had to answer with yes... so he will know how is rubbing stomach yes or no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Gardiner Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 (edited) is there, by any chance te answer: can you please not rub your stomach if it's meaning the answer 'yes, . if he doesen't rub his stomach now, he will admit it means yes. if he does rub his stomach, you know it means either no, or it means that he doesen't understands your question... do I have to get up an idea for knowing if it's no or 'can't understand you, to. or is this just fine?
