I guess this is a fake name for someone wanting to remain anonomous? Also could the partner be the Ram (aries)? Definately not romantic since they lion would eat the ram, but atypical in another way, becuase both signs are traditionally depicted as male.

It does work if you ask the same person the question about 2 seperate people.
-
The second question should be of the person already discerned about one of the other two. From this you will know what persuasion two are and discern the persuasion of the first person you asked. having 3 the other is default.
-
The question should be asked twice to two different people about the same person. For intance A about B and C about B or D about B. Would he say you are a truth teller? Truthe sayers would say about truth sayers "yess". Truth sayers would say about liars "No". Liars would say about truthsayers "yes" and Liars would say about liars "No". So you know that person being spoken of is a liar if the answer is "No" and a truth sayer if the answer is "Yes", but you do not know what the answereer is. Now if you know what that person is, ask the same question about him to another person. This will not only give you the the identity of the person your asking but also the first person you asked leaving the fourth person to default classification.
I know this is confusing but test my logic and let me know if I did ok.

Depends on the definition of kid...if it is a five year old, yeah, I would be impressed that he could write a program in C that printed out every even number (even if it were 250 printf statements); and I would probably call that kid smart....
As an aside, the "smart" answer is zero time when expressed in minutes...either a constant should be changed or the stopping point should be an input.
I'd be even more impressed if his definition of Kid pertained to goats.

Now I am new and therefore a "beginner", but it seems to me, with two boxes or three your equally likely to pickup any given amount. The intriguing part is the comment about switching boxes. If I switch, do I notice the weight change? If so I may notice something that others do not. If I switch, may I switch again? If I notice the original box was heavier can I switch back?
I don't see how it would be either advantageous or disadvantageous to switch. The way this is worded it boils down to:
box A contains 3x (call this the loser) and box B contains 3x+1 (the winner) dollars.
All other things being equal, the probability of getting box A is 0.5, and box B is 0.5. By showing you the box you choose, i don't see how the that gives you any more information about the boxes, other than the 2 possibilities for x. I can't think of any (off the top of my head) system that can show an x at which it would be more advantagous to switch, because the function is exponential.
Same goes for the second part. Your probability of getting a particular X doesn't change if you switch or not, in this case, ESPECIALLY since there is NO information about the contents.
