    There's another solution. If you just tell the group to NOT come back if they find the exit (regardless of how you split it up), you could just notice who never came back when you return and go down their path. This works because you said the possessed members only have their "communication" hampered, their actual actions (Like, leaving the cave), are supposedly kept in tact.

    • @MrGuy271
      @MrGuy271 9 лет назад +371

      My thought process is that the two liars actions are not influenced by the curse, only their "communication". I am trying to override this issue by turning an action into an inadvertent communication.

      Cucas 360 I don't think the way mentioned in the video is guaranteed if there is a trap in one of the tunnels. I don't think that variable was accounted for. Maybe I'm wrong.

      +Cucas 360 In fact, now that I think about it, the method in the video does NOT work if there is a trap in one of the paths. The criteria for solving this riddle was "ensure you ALL escape". If there's a trap and any of them dies, then not everyone escapes.

      Yeah but then two students might suicide by not coming back. Or two might come back from different tunnels. Not coming back when it isn't the exit or coming back when it is would be the equivalent of lying. So as long as u go one two three three, this would work, but two students might die.

    here's my answer:
    as you know you're not cursed, you stay in the middle and you don't move. As the curse only affects your communication and not what you do, you tell everyone that if they find the exit, they leave. You divide the groups into 3, 3 and 2 and wait for all the groups to come back and you go down the path that the group which didn't return went down. This way everyone is saved

    @Just.breathe.. 3 года назад +33

    I guess there is an easier way:
    As the curse only affects the communication the lead the leader can split the group in 2,3,3 and ask them to find the exit. And tell them that the group which finds the exit has to make 1 person stay at the exit and the rest should come back. In this way the group which has the missing person has found the correct exit.

    There seem to be an awful lot of people asking what happens if both possessed students are in a trio and both lie. If that's the case then that trio will give an inconsistent answer, so that will account for at least one of the possessed students, meaning that both other groups will have at least one student that isn't possessed and will therefore tell the truth, and as those groups' answers will be consistent you therefore know that they're telling the truth

But if a group has none they found the altar.

      This won't work though.
      The cursed students may lie only sometimes, so we have no idea whether they are lying or telling the truth at any given time. If only one student of either trio is arguing with the other two, does this mean that:
      a) he is cursed and is lying, while the other two students from the trio are telling the truth (and the other cursed is in a different group) OR,
      b) he is not cursed, is telling the truth and the other two from the same trio are the cursed, paired together and lying?
      It would be impossible to determine and we would have two doors to eliminate, which means our chance of survival would be 50 / 50. (Which is easily solved if we pair together the two students from our own trio and we go alone.)

  • @Inkyminkyzizwoz

    Common questions and suggestions in the comments:
    1. What if the two possessed ones are in a trio and they both lie?
    2. What if one lies and the other tells the truth?
    3. How do the others know that you aren't lying?
    4. Just ask them a simple question repeatedly until two answer incorrectly.
    5. Just tell whoever finds the exit not to come back.
    Answers:
    1 and 2. In either of these scenarios, only one group will give an inconsistent answer, so both others must be telling the truth. Any group giving an inconsistent answer must have at least one person lying, so both other groups must have at least one person telling the truth, so if only one group gives an inconsistent answer then the two giving consistent ones must be truthful. Remember, you only need reliable answers from two of the groups, as you can work out the other by process of elimination.
    3. The most likely explanation is that you were the only one that saw the inscription and so the others don't know about the curse to begin with.
    4. Theoretically, the possessed students could always tell the truth, so you could be there forever.
    5. Must admit it took me a while to work out why this wouldn't work. Anyway, it says that the curse affects their communication, but communication can be non verbal, so would include things like this. The possessed students could 'lie' by not returning if they don't find the exit or returning if they do

If when you arrive back in the center all or part of a group is missing..the path they took is the exit. If everyone is present, the unexplored path is the exit.

      If you don't mention the curse, it won't be a problem. Just assume the role of leader, split the groups of people into 3 and 2, and send them off, telling them to report back whether it is the exit or not. Of course, it's no guarantee, but people in a panic tend to divert responsibility to somebody else in dangerous situations (To avoid the risk of it being their fault if anyone dies), especially if there is someone willing to be a leader.

    One other thing you could do is just tell each group “If you find the exit don’t come back.” If the curse only affects communication it wouldn’t force the possessed to come back in and then everyone just takes the path that did not have a returning group (as long as you keep track of who went where). While there is a risk that something could happen to keep multiple groups from returning, that could still happen in any scenario anyway so the risk is not much different.

    I think there are three solutions to this problem. The first, obviously, is above, but I think there are two more:
    1) Split into three groups of three and try three of the four paths. Tell them if they find an exit, go ahead and escape. If everyone returns, the exit must be path no one checked. Since three people are in each group, at least one person would escape if he found an exit, regardless of who he's paired with. If fewer than 9 people return, you know one of the explored paths is the exit. You can safely take the path fewer than 3 people returned on. If three are missing, all three were not cursed. If two are missing, then one was cursed and decided to to return to deceive the others, and you can ignore his testimony. If only one is missing, the two that returned are cursed, and you can ignore their testimony.
    2) Split into three groups of three and try three of the four paths. When everyone returns, if there are two disagreements, then the cursed individuals are in two different groups and you can side with the majority in every case. If the majority of one group found an exit, take that path If the the majority in all three groups failed to find an exit, take the unexplored path. If there is only one disagreement, then both cursed individuals are in the same group, and you should side with the minority. If either one of the two consensus groups or the one minority found an exit, take that path. If they didn't, take the unexplored path.
    Edit: I acknowledge the fault in my second solution below.

      Scott Simmons 1) if only one returns you can't know whether the other two are telling the truth. So if they say, it's the wrong path, they could either be lying and the third one escaped or they are telling the truth and the third one is cursed.

If it weren't the exit, then all three would return. He says that the curse only affects their communication--that is, they would lie. It does seem that the problem assumes that they would do as they're told.
      However, if we allow that the cursed ones may hide to trick the others and deceive them, then I think we're still okay. If one returns and says "There's no exit on this path the other two are hiding," then if true, everyone else who returned would agree with the others in their respective groups, and we could safely identify the two who didn't return as cursed. If two return and say, "There's no exit on this path, the third is hiding," then if true, there would be at most one disagreement, and the truth tellers would be in the majority. In effect, that altered scenario 1 becomes almost identical to my scenario 2. The difference would be there are two ways to deceive--either by returning and lying or hiding.

      @juliahormayer7255 8 лет назад +1

      Scott Simmons You're right I forgot about the part where it affects only the communication.
      If it wouldn't though and one would come back and say that the other two in his group were hiding, he could also be lying.

    • @ScottSimmons
      @ScottSimmons 8 лет назад +7

      Julia Hörmayer Yes, but now you have me rethinking my #2. Since it's possible one cursed person might decide to tell the truth, if there is only one disagreement, it could be that both cursed people are in the same group, or it could be that one cursed one is in that group and the other is telling the truth in a different group. If that's the case, then we would need to side with the majority, even if there's only one disagreement. I think I may need to retract my second solution. If there's only one disagreement, I'm not sure you could determine what the truth is, since only 3 of the 4 options were explored.

Going with the others still gives you a poss of a lie only checking 3 doors wich leaves you at at best 2 sure truths with the System ( you might fall on 3 sure truths in a given case but the System doesn´t assure you of that)

    I’ve seen a couple saying that you should follow the path of whichever group doesn’t return, but reasonably you can’t be sure if the group didn’t return because they found the exit, or because they died.
    If you tell each group to leave just one student outside if they find the exit, you can immediately tell which way to go (and that it is safe) even IF the liar is in that group.
    Even if the liar claims one person in the group is missing because they died, the absence of anyone missing from any other groups proves that is a lie.
    The only way you’d have trouble is if someone from another group really does die, and the liars are able to manipulate the rest of the group into heading down an unsafe path… but this is all adding another element into a riddle which doesn’t really need that.

If you think communication only affect speech lying than let me ask you this. Why not have one person go down each path (left overs just chill out in the center and rest) and then return. If you have found the exit simply raise your hand. Then only one person raises there hand and presto, you are free. Is this acceptable? I don't think so.

    They could either both be in one group and both lying, or split between them- in that case one of them could be telling the truth. Knowing that, you can't count on either group.

      In that case you'd still have a problem, because remember, the choice to split off into 3 groups instead of 4 was predicated on the assumption that we could go about it by elimination: If it's none of the 3 then the 4th must be it. But if you see a group arguing it means that there could be either 1 or 2 liars in that group. So that leaves you two tunnels to choose from.

    • @MedicEne
      @MedicEne 9 лет назад

      Lan Des But you eliminate the path that you took by yourself no?( assuming its a dead end) that leaves only 3 possible tunnels that lead to escape. each with 2, 3, 3 people respectively
      so if the other two groups say "dead end" and one is arguing then thats the right one,
      if one group of 3 says "this is the right one" then it must be the right one
      if you see 1 group arguing then you look to the other 2

      Tommy Thai You need to realize that cursed ones don't have to lie. So if both cursed ones are in same group, and lets say they found way out and come back to save others. 1 cursed choose to talk true and 1 choose to lie, so ther's 2 telling that "we found way out" and 1 is arguing. If you automaticly think that 2 must be lying because you they are arguing, you end up believing the 1 guy who was telling lies in a first place. So going into 3x3 groups wont work because you can't be sure if one group is lying or telling truth, and you got that unknown path too left.

    According to the setup, the leader (you) can also be infected with the smoke. You should split into groups of 3, and leave one path unexplored. There are only two possible outcomes when the groups return. In Scenario 1 there is conflict in only one group, which means that both liars must be in that group, and the correct path is either a) the one they took (if the two liars are saying it's the wrong path) or b) the unexplored path (if the two liars are saying the path they took is the right path). In Scenario 2 there is conflict in two groups, which means there is one liar in each group of three, and the majority will be correct.

The two trios consisting of truthful people would say they hadn't found it, so you'd follow the trio where the majority said they had, and you'd go down their path and find a dead end. We're looking for a solution that works 100% of the time, and yours is not it.

      +Luke Davies not true bc if the group with the two possessed people said that it is an exit then you would know that that group had two of the possessed people because otherwise one would be in another group arguing with that trio

    0:42 says that you have LESS than an hour. The video later states that if you go at a fast pace it will take you 20 minutes. So even if you assume that nobody gets tired from moving at the fast pace, they will likely not be able to go any faster. This means that since there is LESS than an hour left, they will not make it in time no matter what. Also, this theory doesn't even assume the fact that they will need at least a minute to figure out that some are possessed and develop a reasonable plan.

    i didn't think about the fact that they would argue, and just i just firgured i could send 3 people down 3 hallways, and if none of them are the exit, the one that went unexplored must be it.

      Laziness is often the path to despair. You have the time and the resources. Assuming is dangerous.
