Guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 It seems to me that they could have been talking about lying down on the ground as well, in which case, any of the days could be the correct solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 thursday, Lion telling the truth about wednesday and the unicorn lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Could you not solve this with just the information from the Lion? THe only day I see his statement being true is Thursday, and if he made the statement any of the previous three days he would have been telling the truth, violating the initial statement. However if he made the statement on any of the following three days (F,S,Su) He would also be violating the initial statement of the Lion's Schedule. Why is the unicorn important?

Guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Lion and Unicorn I. - Back to the Logic Problems Alice came across a lion and a unicorn in a forest of forgetfulness. Those two are strange beings. The lion lies every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and the other days he speaks the truth. The unicorn lies on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, however the other days of the week he speaks the truth. Lion: Yesterday I was lying. Unicorn: So was I. Which day did they say that? Lion and Unicorn I. - solution As there is no day when both of the beings would be lying, at least one of them must have spoken the truth. They both speak the truth only on Sunday. However, the Lion would then be lying in his statement, so it couldn’t be said on Sunday. So exactly one of them lied. If the Unicorn was honest, then it would have to be Sunday – but previously we proved this wrong. Thus only the Lion spoke the truth when he met Alice on Thursday and spoke with the Unicorn about Wednesday. NO, IT WAS ON A THURSDAY BECAUSE THE LION WAS TELLING THE TRUTH AND THE UNICORN WAS LYING.

Guest Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 The Answer is just thursday. I developed a program based in pascal that test every day . I also drew a chart after read one of the answers and my program simulate the generation of the chart and the process of the comparison of the result in order to determine what is the answer.

Guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 This is my first posting and my answer straight away was thursday, however, I have read through all the other postings and then reread the puzzle only to understand why there were other answers. The Lion and the Unicorn meet in the forest of forgetfulness so there is alot they could forget: the day, what they said yesterday, what day they lie etc... Also there are a few postings that imply that there are other days that the Lion and Unicorn could have said what they said. The puzzle doesn't specifically say that on the days they lie, they could also tell the truth. So is there more to this puzzle? My answers: Reading it once - Thursday Forest of Forgetfulness - any day If on the days that they lie, they could also tell the truth - Tuesday through to Saturday If on the days that they lie, they only lie - Thursday The fact that they are both Male - any day One last note, I would not want to be Alice!

Guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 It must be Thursday for it is the only day connecting the beginning of one way of life and the end of another, the Lion speaking truth and the Unicorn speaking Lies. Sunday can't work for both of them must tell the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 the answer is yesterday. they both lied yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 This is completely ridiculous, people - it could be any day between Tuesday and Saturday. Let me break it down for you. Monday - impossible, the unicorn also told the truth on Sunday and can't lie about it. Tuesday - possible if the lion is telling the truth and the unicorn is lying. Wednesday - possible if lion=LIE and uni=TRUTH Thursday - possible if lion=TRUTH and uni=LIE Friday - possible if lion=LIE and uni=TRUTH Saturday - possible if lion=TRUTH and uni=LIE Sunday - impossible because today they are both telling the truth. Agree? No actually, the Lion can't tell the truth on Mon/Tues/and Wed. So Tues and Wed aren't options. And the Lion is honest Thur - Sun, so he couldn't have honestly said he lied the day before Fri/Sat/& Sun. Thur is the only option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Obviously, the answer is Thursday. The chart does clarify the problem to some degree. However, those who haven't thought about the details thorougly enough might say that the answer is Mon-Fri.(no offense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
