0 pdqkemp Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Tuesday. Jagan is lying by saying he didn't lie on a Monday, (yesterday), but that's OK because he's supposed to lie on Tuesday's. Pradeep is telling the truth about not lying on a Monday, (yesterday), and he is supposed to be telling the truth on Tuesdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 The question asks "What day is today?" When I look at my calendar, it says Today is Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Do you know anyone named "Pradeep" or "Jagen?" Anyhow, Tuesday would be the correct "logical" answer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 None! There must have been 2 days in a row in witch none lies in order to have an answer.Someone is lying , so we can't find answer (And about the "Today is Monday thing" Don't forget that this is internet.It could be Monday 21:30 for you but could be Thursday 4:00 for someone else.)

0 Guest Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 The correct answer is sunday but I don,t know how to get this answer. I think the problem is use of punctuation. When I first read the problem below I read it as follows... Jagan lies on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Pradeep lies on Wednesday Thursday Saturday. Jagan says I didn't lie yesterday. Pradeep also says that I didn't lie yesterday. What day is today? Jagan lies on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Pradeep lies on Wednesday Thursday Saturday. Jagan says, "I didn't lie yesterday. Pradeep also says that I didn't lie yesterday." What day is today? not Jagan says, "I didn't lie yesterday." Pradeep also says, "I didn't lie yesterday." the second way gives Tuesday as an answer. When can Jagan/Pradeep make such a claim? Monday - no it'd be truthful and she'd need to lie/ yes T on T day Tuesday - yes it'd be a lie and she'd need to lie/ yes T on T day Wednesday - yes, same as above/ no T on L day Thursday - no, it'd be a lie and she'd need be truthful/ yes L on L day Friday - yes, it'd be the truth, she'd need be truthful/ no L on T day Saturday - yes, same as above/ no T on L day Sunday - yes same as above./ no L on T day As for the first way, well lets see: When can Jagan say that Pradeep said that Jagan did not lie? (only looking at available days left) Tuesday - yes, Pradeep wouldn't say it say it (L on T day) but Jagan must lie Wednesday - no, Pradeep would say it (L on L day) but Jagan must lie Friday - yes , Pradeep would say it (T on T day) and Jagan must tell truth Saturday - no Pradeep wouldn't say it (T on L day) and Jagan must tell truth Sunday - yes Pradeep would say it (T on T day) and Jagan must tell truth. So I don't know how they narrowed it down from there if the intent was the first way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Sunday and Friday can be answers as well if ... Both of them stayed at one end of international date/timeline on Friday(or Sunday), then moved to the other end of the date/timeline the next day, where it would be still Friday (or Sunday) so they could continue to speak truth for 2 *continuous* days. However, simple psychology .. liers dont claim they had lied before .. even on their "good" days. That what makes them typical liers... So it can be ANYDAY Edited November 18, 2010 by aaronbcj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
