Declan Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I agree with Declan the sentence "Cherryl tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and day of her birthday respectively" is not a clear sentence. The word respectively clarifies it. Made sense to me anyway. That's not the unclear bit. I read it that Albert and Bernard didn't know ought, except that the other person knew nothing either, until the girl told Albert the month and Bernard the date. But really the Albert and Bernard's statements were made after the girl told them the info. And that changed the other's understanding. Do you read bottom to top? Does that post make sense to you?

Chinahand Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The Today Programme on Radio 4 presented another logic puzzle this morning: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02p87xj Can you solve it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Three logicians walk into a bar. "Do you all fancy a beer?" asks the bartender. "I don't know" says the first logician. "I don't know" says the second logician. "That'll be 3 pints of beer, please" says the third logician. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Too easy that Radio 4 one. And it gives itself away. Blah blah blah dumbing down etc You can turn it to an example of logistic probability by asking what are the probabilities each prisoner has a red hat. As you walk through the question the probabilities change which is a nice example of Bayesian updating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Two electrons go into a bar. First one says 'I'll have a beer please', second one says 'Damn, that's what I was going to have' (For physics geeks only that one, along the lines of "An electron is driving along and is pulled over by the police. Cop says 'do you know you were doing 80mph?' Electron replies 'Shit, I'm lost now!'") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
