Although i did not know the solution to the puzzle, but i did feel like Boolos was being unnecessarily convoluted.
I was initially thinking of just asking the same question (is the god next to you True?) 3 times to 1 god, hoping he would say Ja 2 times and Da once, the randomness would then betray at least his identity as random, but yeah, that's not much of a solution.

I have to think Jim Henson and his movie Labyrinth (one of the greatest movies of all time) for giving me a head start on this puzzle. 😁😎

1. The first question - "Whoever to your right will answer that 2 + 2 = 4"
According to the answers in which X or Y will be absent, we will find out where the random is. Since both True and False don't know what to answer regarding Random's answer. If there is no response from A, then random is B. If there is no response from B, then random is C. If we received 3 responses, then random is A.
2. Ie we at least know which of the three is true and false /
Second question: "If you ask your sidekick if he is telling the truth, will he say YES?" We will get two identical answers - XX or YY this will be a symbol that means no.
3. Well, the third question "If you ask your sidekick if he is lying, he will answer YES?" The one who speaks the truth will duplicate the previous answer, and the liar will change the character.
Nester's solution)))
