Steem Riddle of the Week #8: Truth, Lies and Chaos
Last weeks riddle was solved by @dpa-punch, congrats to him for claiming the SBD prize! The solution is posted here: https://steemit.com/life/@droopy/steem-riddle-of-the-week-7-midpoints-solution-revealed-prize-awarded
This weeks riddle goes as follows:
You are traveling to the city of Yrth and come to a fork in the road, one path leads the Yrth and the other does not and you do not know which way to go. At the fork there are three people. One is from the city of truth, he will answer any question truthfully. Another is from the city of lies, he will answer any question with a lie. The third is from the city of chaos, he will randomly with a 50/50 chance tell the truth or lie when answering a question.
You have no idea which person is from which city. You may ask two questions. Each question can be addressed to exactly one person. How can you guarantee that you will know which path is correct with only two questions.
Note that this is a more difficult version of a very common riddle that is the same scenario but where you can only ask one question and the person from the city of chaos is not there.
