I think I finally got it!

Comments Doh! I went through everything again and found a couple of mistakes, so now the odds and expected payouts are as follows...
-
Answer Nice! I had a proof that involved reviewing different scenarios, but I'm not going to post it as it's not as elegant as this.
-
Comments You're right. I messed up. Here are the corrected probabilities...
-
Sorry about that, my bad. Since D has the lowest probability in the above table, Sure.

Definitely, k-man. Clarification are as follows

Interesting puzzle, Bushino. Can you clarify something for me?
-
Thanks, Prime. That's an interesting perspective...So, I've been mulling this over in my head trying to convince myself that everything is correct, so here is a slightly different perspective...

Not really. Your next move is A6 and she loses.

My understanding of the "random answerer" is that he flips a coin every time you ask any question and answers "Yes" for heads and "No" for tails. It doesn't really matter what the question is as the answer will be either a truth or a lie, provided the question eliminates any other kind of answer as valid (yes/no question). There isn't a yes/no question they cannot answer.

Not sure why you had to use a spoiler, as I find it very obvious (unless I'm missing something obvious ), but out of respect to you I will use spoiler too

Hi Araver! Nice to see you again. Can you clarify the sequence of events? I assume they agree on the strategy first, then they inspect each other, then a carnivore strikes and kills one herbivore. Then, when the day comes, with only 3 herbivores left they have only one chance of identifying a carnivore or they lose. Is this right?

Nice solution using the Archimedes' principle, TSLF. However, from the OP it wasn't clear that you actually had 4 cups of coffee to work with. I thought you only had one cup, which would preclude such a solution. Nice puzzle nonetheless.

@CaptainEd The last paragraph of the OP kinda describes the sequence. First you roll out the dough into a rectangular shape 1/4 inch thick. Then you cut out the round biscuits. The remaining dough either goes to the dog or get reshaped into another rectangle for the next round of cutting.
