I wondered who would win between the Indie and the Baddie once Phil was gone. By not answering you deny there would be such a battle. So you claim that you and plas are both Baddies. Who do you claim was Amazo?

Yeah, the day we lynched araver is the day the goodies lost their chance to win. Who would win if phil and I lynch me?

Goodies + Nana ==> Indie wins Goodies + plasmid ==> Baddies win Flipping a coin, wishing it had three sides ...

@koren, even if these answers are not the answer you came up with, they are responsive to the puzzle you posted. I'm guessing you've gotten about all the replies you're going to get; why not share yours?

1) Phil1882 - Barca 2) Nana77 - voting for Barca 3) bonanova - voting for Barca 8) plasmid - voting for Nana 12) Barca - voting for Nana 4) tolecnal - DEAD [Martian Manhunter] lynched 5) flamebirde - DEAD [Hawkgirl] killed by Supervillains 6) onetruth - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 7) dee_tot - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 9) TwoaDay - DEAD [Zatanna] lynched 10) Kikacat123 - DEAD [?] killed by Amazo 11) Araver - DEAD [Black Canary] lynched What say, Barca? You aint a goodie, who are you?

A sphere of radius R=1 sits on the x-y plane at its origin. A second sphere of radius r<<1 is balanced on top of the first. That is, their centers are at [0, 0, 1] and [0, 0, 2+r] respectively. The surfaces are frictionless. A butterfly in the Amazon Forest imparts to the top sphere the slightest of horizontal velocities, causing it to slide downward along the surface of the bottom sphere. At one point the spheres break contact. At a later point the smaller sphere lands on the x-y plane. At what north latitude on the bottom sphere do they break contact? That is, how many degrees a above the bottom sphere's equator. At what distance d from the origin does the smaller sphere land on the plane?

Hope you're right, else three die in the lynch.

Well igt's the witching hour. We'll see, maybe

@Barca so you are saying you're certain plas is Indie (edit) now?

I need to learn vote manips.

1) Phil1882 -plasmid 2) Nana77 -plasmid 3) bonanova - voting for plasmid 4) tolecnal - DEAD [Martian Manhunter] lynched 5) flamebirde - DEAD [Hawkgirl] killed by Supervillains 6) onetruth - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 7) dee_tot - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 8) plasmid - voting for Nana 9) TwoaDay - DEAD [Zatanna] lynched 10) Kikacat123 - voting for Nana 11) Araver - DEAD [Black Canary] lynched 12) Barca - voting for Nana

Then why do you call Nana a known baddie?

Who do you think plas is?

1) Phil1882 -plasmid 2) Nana77 -plasmid 3) bonanova - voting for Barca 4) tolecnal - DEAD [Martian Manhunter] lynched 5) flamebirde - DEAD [Hawkgirl] killed by Supervillains 6) onetruth - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 7) dee_tot - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 8) plasmid - voting for Nana 9) TwoaDay - DEAD [Zatanna] lynched 10) Kikacat123 - voting for Nana 11) Araver - DEAD [Black Canary] lynched 12) Barca - voting for Nana

Who should I vote for?

@Nana - should I switch to say Barca? Would that matter? (I don't get vote manips ... how they work.) Let's say I give you my vote - who should it be for? Or abstain?

Then why does it matter how I vote?

I mean 2-way tie with last voter also lynched.

1) Phil1882 -plasmid 2) Nana77 -plasmid 3) bonanova - voting for plasmid 4) tolecnal - DEAD [Martian Manhunter] lynched 5) flamebirde - DEAD [Hawkgirl] killed by Supervillains 6) onetruth - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 7) dee_tot - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 8) plasmid - voting for Nana 9) TwoaDay - DEAD [Zatanna] lynched 10) Kikacat123 - voting for Nana 11) Araver - DEAD [Black Canary] lynched 12) Barca - voting for Nana @Nana, I'll give your story a shot. If no one else switches to plas by 9:55 ET I will switch back. No disastrous 3-way ties ...

Random answerers can be of two types. Randomly answer yes or no. Randomly tell the truth or lie. These are very different behaviors, giving rise to different solutions. In this puzzle there could be a third type as well: (3) randomly showing Red or White light. OP describes R's of the second type. For a type two R to reply, s/he must know the correct answer, else s/he does not know whether or not s/he's lying. Therefore, determining the correct answer is not a separate action. It's a necessary part of replying. Therefore, if the answer is unknown, then it's not enough simply to know whether or not s/he has chosen to lie. Q1 uniquely identifies R. The correct answer is unknown. Both Yes and No responses are precluded. A White light must be shown. T and L know their answers are Yes. They show a Red light. Smullyan may well have another solution. It will be interesting to read; it probably will also shed light on R's intended behavior.

1) Phil1882 -plasmid 2) Nana77 -plasmid 3) bonanova - voting for Nana 4) tolecnal - DEAD [Martian Manhunter] lynched 5) flamebirde - DEAD [Hawkgirl] killed by Supervillains 6) onetruth - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 7) dee_tot - DEAD [?] killed by Supervillains 8) plasmid - voting for Nana 9) TwoaDay - DEAD [Zatanna] lynched 10) Kikacat123 - voting for Nana 11) Araver - DEAD [Black Canary] lynched 12) Barca Has anyone copied superman's powers?

It was clarified that when R is asked a question he determines the truth of the matter then flips a coin to answer truthfully or not. If the second question has not been asked, therefore, how could R know his answer? That's the model for R's behavior on which the solution is predicated. If the model differs, then of course the solution will be different. This type of puzzle has a hundred nuances. We solved one of them that to our satisfaction fits the OP. There is a knack to stating a problem in a way that permits an unambiguous solution. That's the task of a puzzle writer. Not all puzzles are well posed. So you've read our solution. If you post yours, I'd be glad to read it.

Actually not. Re-read my posts. Only Q2 is araver's. Q1 is different. The solution works because it identifies R and T. L is the other.

Earth to Phil.

I'd like to hear from Phil also. A few days ago he talked about a home far away ...
