Ask one of the brothers if he is a Rhinocerous. If he says yes, he's the liar.
if he says no, he's telling the truth. Simple
Just ask a simple yes or no question (like "is it raining?") |

but then you wouldn't have any idea about which door leads to where...you would only know who the liar is... |

ok the pizza one i dunno gotta think, but heres another one, similar to the first one posted:
You're in ithe amazon and suddenly a tribe captures and decides out of the goodness of their heart that they are going to kill you. Since their oracle is all knowing, they ask you to tell them something, if you tell the truth, they will boil u in a cauldron, but if u lie, they will feed you to their alligators.
How do you get yourself out of this dilemma? |

hehehe...yeah i second guessed myself hehehe...
would it be perhaps that
if the oracle is all knowning then you wouldn't need to tell it something because it would already know?
and for the super bowl question...you're basically right. you need to know what August brings... |

edit: i dont get the superbowl one tho, if u knew aug brings beer, then can u still solve the question? cuz i cant, only if she brings the soda or pizza |

that's what happens when you try to answer questions too quickly hehehe...
what about :
if i tell the truth than i'm dead, and if i tell a lie them i'm dead, therefore i can't say anything? or something like that?
i don't know :p
august doesn't bring beer ;) |
