minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•1 year agoI never liked this riddle. “Am I standing in front of you?” would tell you immediately
minus-square@chaosTechnicianlink20•1 year agoTo actually make it a puzzle, the trick is that you get only one question. Ever.

minus-squaredeejay4amlink-1•1 year agoPedantic correction: you only get one answer from a single guard. You can’t ask both for an answer, even if they’re both within earshot.
minus-square@chaosTechnicianlinkEnglish1•1 year agoSeems like a valuable (and welcome, in this case) pedantic correction given the way some people are interpreting the whole thing.
minus-square@MeanEYElink1•1 year agoNot much of a riddle anyway. You ask any guard what other guard would say and then negate that.
