Guest Albatross_ June 6, 2012 June 6, 2012 Which door leads to which old man. That's bullshit, you said in the original puzzle that they didn't know. (This post was last modified: 06-05-2012 12:44 PM by Phi.
Avalanche June 6, 2012 June 6, 2012 The lying guard is bound to lie, so he wouldn't say yes if he were in front of the bad door. If the lying guard was in front of the good door, he would say it's bad for your tulpa, so your tulpa would go to the other door. If he was in front of the bad door, he would say it's good for your tulpa, who will then choose that door. Either guard will give the same answer. The good guard will say the truth, but then the lying guard will match it. Are you 100% sure this riddle can be solved with these rules? frt
Phi June 6, 2012 June 6, 2012 That's bullshit, you said in the original puzzle that they didn't know. No I didn't, I said that the tulpa doesn't know. Are you 100% sure this riddle can be solved with these rules? Yes.
Virgil June 6, 2012 June 6, 2012 … That wouldn't be an answer to my question, though. Bayesian inference
Avalanche June 6, 2012 June 6, 2012 Don't tell me- The doors are in your head, so YOU know which door it is, but your tulpa doesn't? Just tell the tulpa? frt
Phi June 6, 2012 June 6, 2012 Don't tell me- The doors are in your head, so YOU know which door it is, but your tulpa doesn't? Just tell the tulpa? Yes, that's right. And this puzzle is directed to your tulpa; you can't give them the answer. "Which door doesn't have the good old man?" Guard A: The one on the left does not hold the good old man. Guard b: The one on the right does not hold the good old man.
