My first OOT experience ever was a brainteaser that someone posted that I tried and it turned out to be insane. It was over 2 years ago so I don´t remember the details of how I worked out the solution, but I remember I got pissed that I couldn´t do it easily and got so determined to solve it I worked on it for like 12 hours over 2 days or something absurd like that. And I remember some other poster trying to pretend like he was solving it but really just cheating and looking it up online. Oh the nostalgia...

Problem:

Three gods A , B , and C are called, in some order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A , B , and C by asking three yes-no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are “da” and “ja”, in some order. You do not know which word means which.
