• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Disclaimer: I invented this. It is based on a familiar style of logic puzzle, but this one is my own twisted invention, and as such, could be buggy.

You are on a remote island where there are three types of people: Liars, truthtellers, and people who may either lie or tell the truth. There is no way to tell them apart, except possibly by clever questioning. You have trudged through the jungle, and reached a crossroads. Four paths lead away from the crossroads to villages. For reasons never adequately explained in logic puzzles, the people in two of the villages will kill you if you go there, but the other two will be friendly and help you back to civilization. Three people are standing around at the crossroads; they are natives, so they are either liars, truthtellers, or indecisive. Can you ask a single person a single question about the paths which will reliably tell you which paths lead to safe villages?

I also posted this puzzle at Internet Infidels, but I think you guys will like it too. If it's too hard, PM me and I'll tell you the answer.
