Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a brain teaser site inspired by "The Lady or the Tiger" by Raymond M. Smullyan, focusing on logic puzzles and set theory. Participants explore the nature of the puzzles and their underlying assumptions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant invites feedback on a brain teaser site that generates logic puzzles, suggesting they are reminiscent of Smullyan's work.
  • Another participant questions whether the assumptions about the doors in the puzzles should be that they are either completely truthful or completely deceitful.
  • A subsequent reply confirms this assumption about the doors.
  • A later post introduces additional elements to the puzzles, including Vampires, Wizards, and Humans, indicating a variation in the types of characters involved.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is a general agreement on the assumptions regarding the doors, but the overall discussion remains exploratory without a consensus on the best approach to the puzzles.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the implications of the assumptions about the doors or the impact of the newly introduced characters on the puzzles.

Brain teaser, reminds "The lady or the tiger"

I would appreciate if you evaluate my recently opened brain teaser site http://rooms.jmpup.com"
Well, the puzzles are all build around logics and the set theory, all remind "Lady or tiger" by Raymond M.Smullyan, and all are generated on the fly.
Puzzle strength is growing as you successfully solve them.
Would be very nice to hear something from mathematicians in this forum, maybe there are ways to improve the machine.

Many thanks.

So are we supposed to assume the doors are either right about everything they claim, or wrong about everything they claim?

Yes, exactly!
 


We have added some life to the labyrinth. Meet Vampires, Wizards and Humans.
All three types are different, and you must treat them differently.
Have fun!
