At that time people didn't have those fancy toilets that you have today, actually they were sh***ing in barrels :/
And the best place to put those barrels in Globus was just in-front of the stage (thankfully Globus didn't have a roof). So now you can read the complete first scene with a bit different angle ;) e.g. when Horatio would say this line, he would wave his hand, which would really entertain the audience.
bonus1:
back in those days, people would find all kinds of creative places they could put the barrel with crap. One of those places in Elsinore was under a staircase.
Also, would you like to continue with Hamlet?
New set of riddles coming up, so stay tuned!
Thorin
If Thorin is telling the truth he hates himself and Dekar likes himself and is thus a liar. The statement "those that are liked by everybody have a golden ring." is false and should be "those that are not liked by everybody has a ring". That would imply that Thorin should have a ring which he doesn't.
If Thorin is not telling the truth, then so is Dekar, and the only one who is liked by everybody is Thorin.
Could very easily have misunderstood the rules though
This can't be true. If Dekar is a liar, then that means Bror likes Thorin and Dekar, yet Bror cannot do so since 1) if Bror tells the truth he cannot like the liars 2) if Bror lies then he likes himself already and cannot like two more dwarves.
Dekar says that Bror doesn't like Thorin or doesn't like Dekar. ??? Can't figure it that
This is it like if they're lying right? Got confused by that one premiss, though.
The opposite of that sentence is "Bror likes both Thorin and Dekar"
Bror
Nope
Damn you Mogh! :)
Just noticed Bror might also have the ring as well as Thorin (so there is no clear solution?).
Bror is always a liar, we only don't know if Thorin or Dekar is one but if one of them is the other one is not. And in both cases, one time Thorin is liar and one time Dekar is liar, we have a logical conclusion.
If Thorin is the liar he likes himself. Because Dekar isn't a liar he likes Bror and Thorin, so it's right that Thorin is lying about Dekar doesn't like Bror. And because Bror is lying (thus likes himself) he likes those who like themselves (Thorin and himself) and doesn't like those don't (only Dekar). If we know that Thorin is lying about more than one dwarf likes Dekar it's actually only one likes Dekar and because Bror and Dekar himself don't like Dekar it must be Thorin. Dekar is telling the truth and Thorin is the only one being liked by all and has the ring. He is lying that he doesn't haveone.
If Throin now is telling the truth (I will do it short) then he doesn't have the ring. After further conclusion (Bror is still lying) know that Dekar doesn't have the ring, because he is liked by everyone including himself because he is a liar and thus the "the one who is liked by everyone has the ring"statement is wrong. So only Bror can have the ring.
I have too much free time right now :(
Nice try but I'm pretty sure there is only one solution. I probably have even more free time than you do because I made this up myself.
Btw just to make things clear :
- "Dekar says those that are liked by everybody have a golden ring." - in this sentence "those" can be any number of dwarves. Even 0.
- "Some of them have a golden ring but you can't see it because they all have gloves." - same thing, some can mean any number in [0,3]. Which means the answer can contain any subset of all the dwarves.
- "Thorin says that more than one dwarf likes Dekar." - this is a strict "more". The number of dwarves that like Dekar is in [2,3]. If this is false, this number is in [0,1].
Editing my first post to reflect these clarifications.
And the prixe goes to Vammo75 :)
The answer was Thorin and Bror.
Also a fun fact : Bror cannot be telling the truth, and you can tell that just based on his own rules. Otherwise he would be both liking and hating himself, because he hates those that like themselves and likes those that hate themselves. If he likes himself then he hates himself and inversely.
True that, I missed it. It changes the position of C and D completely
In that case 0 for C
With giving 1 to D he will be happy enough
A will say 9-0-0-1, which will get accepted, so he will say no...
So I would go 8-0-1-0-1.
The 1 for C because if he says no, he will get 0.
Exact :)
It's 8-0-1-0-1 because you give B and D just more than nothing. If you die and A makes a proposal, they get nothing.
Also, send me a pm so I can give you the money
