    The bonus riddle is easy. We know that there is at least 1 werewolf, and when asked, all of the people said that there is at least 1 human, including that one werewolf. If that one werewolf lied about there being at least one human, that would mean that there are no humans at all. Meaning that all of the people there are werewolves with green eyes that responded Ozo.

    • @Fledhyris
      @Fledhyris 3 роки тому +52

      But the fact that they all let themselves be questioned and didn't kill him argues that they're non-violent, which then begs the question why we have any right to turn 'our' werewolf back in the first place! If he's causing trouble, get him to move into the werewolf village where he'll fit in better, problem solved. Unless, of course, he asks to be turned back. Which, since he's a werewolf and always lies, means he'll be saying "NO, I don't want to be cured!"

    Easy peasy.
    Step 1: Give the antidote to the carpenter because he looks like a werewolf.
    Step 2: Cook the goat and serve him to your guests. The antidote in the goat will cure the others if they were werewolves. Ensure that you make and serve a goat stock so that you don't lose any antidotey goodness.
    Step 3: Figure out why you have a laser cutter in an era where people dress like that.

      I agree, or any number between 1 and 99 humans have trick the rest of the village into believing that they are werewolves, since as fair as the werewolf (or werewolves) know, every 'human' is a werewolf, so when they say "there is at least one human" the werewolf believes it to be a lie

    The bonus riddle technically has 2 solutions:
    1. They are all werewolves.
    If all of them said the same thing, then they must all be either telling the truth or all lying*. There is at least 1 werewolf, who must be lying, therefore they are all lying.
    *In reality, this can only be assumed if some specific global properties for truth, knowledge, and lying are assumed. A hand-wavy definition of knowledge must also be used.
    2. There is not enough information. This question is ambiguous. There can be any number of humans/werewolves within the population, or no werewolves all humans, or no werewolves no humans.
    We do not know if werewolves have any way to tell whether someone else is a human or a werewolf. We can reasonably assume that most humans have no way to tell whether someone else is a human or a werewolf, though this is not guaranteed as our detective somehow managed to narrow the list to only 5 people in the first riddle, though since we do not know how they did it (perhaps they just waited for everyone else to be killed), we can not be sure whether they know a valid method.
    Taking this into account, if a human said, "at least one of us is a human", they must be talking about themselves, because they don't know about anyone else.
    If a werewolf said, "at least one of us is a human", it is not clear whether this counts as truth or lie. The only thing we know that they know is that they are a werewolf**. They know that the village contains at least 1 werewolf, but they do not know anything about how many humans are contained in the village. The statement is then a statement made without knowledge. The rules imply that such an ambiguity is impossible for either human or werewolf to make, thus we can even assume that a werewolf could not have made that statement, thus there are no werewolves.
    **But can a werewolf tell whether they themselves are a werewolf or not? If they cannot, then presumably neither can a human***, thus a human could not have made that ambiguous statement either, thus there are no humans.
    ***This is assuming that humans and werewolves have the same capacity for self-assessment.
    Moral of the story, anytime you introduce nebulous concepts like knowledge or truth, your riddle becomes ambiguous, unless you mathematically define both.

    • @vaandor1
      @vaandor1 6 років тому

      Interesting, but I disagree.
      If "werewolves always lies", I assume they never tell something that MIGHT be true (because of their lack of knowledge). So were they not sure about the total lack of humans in the village, they would not state the definite lie that "there IS at least one human". They would lie something different, that they can be sure about. (Like "there are NO werewolves here")

    For the less geometrically gifted (like me), a more algebraic approach might involve using *every single* cut. Theres no rule saying to minimize the number of cuts, so this is fine.
    Then you have 8 pieces of size 1/24, and 16 pieces of each of the following sizes: 1/48, 1/80, and 1/120. One solution breaking it into 5 equal parts of size 1/5 is (4*1/120 and 4*1/24, 4*1/120 and 4*1/24, 4*1/120 and 8*1/48, 4*1/120 and 8*1/48, and 16*1/120), although there might be other solutions.
    To simplify the problem you might decide to only examine one quadrant of the cube since its symmetric, and use sizes 1/6, 1/12, 1/20, and 1/30 (which is what I did).
