Instead of oil with toast for breakfast this morning, I had the traditional butter smeared along the slice of bread. Am I betraying my own culture? I ...

Beautiful poem of Angelos Sikelianos: O when, Huntress, with naked foot beating the snow all night, shall we see at last on the summit, like Boreas an...

Nice to read a new post from you, Forrest. :smile: It must be a number smaller than omega, but not zero. Something like this: x (the suspicious intege...

I couldn't go, finally. But it is fine, I am happy for those who went to the celebration. There are things in life that are more relevant than footbal...

Oyarzabal (who scored the second goal yesterday) and his family have received threats from Basque nationalists. Oyarza is from a tiny town in Basque C...

Yes, at Madrid's Plaza Cibeles. I wish I could go earlier because I am typically busy, but I suppose it will be worthwhile to go there for around an h...

I started to cry when the referee whistled at the end of the match. Jesus Christ, what a beautiful performance for both teams. Kudos to England for fa...

The first half was amazingly nice. We are lacking in precision and pace, but at least we have possession.

Lo es, Lionino, lo es.

Do you think they can distinguish all the ex-Soviet countries that split into different and independent nations? Phew. Well, the match starts; no more...

There is nothing unclear. After the recent posts and examples (@"RussellA"’s one was very good), I now see the point of the riddle. It was funny to ta...

I understand it now, but not when I first posted this OP. Perhaps it is simple and clear for you, but not for me. One of the demands in my post was fo...

Of course their answers (including yours) please me. But I'm keeping up with postings and questions because I want to learn how to apply logic. We are...

Be honest, you're having as much fun with this thread as a child in the park with a big red balloon. :smile:

Got it. :up:

What do you mean by ‘no inconsistency’? That A is coherent but ambiguous or what? The problem with A is: B -> A ? B = ¬A. I don’t know whether is cohe...

A very well written and informative reply. Every kind of help is appreciated here. Thank you, lad. This is the core of the riddle, indeed. I tried to ...

And this mate refers to my revered and ancient home as "place" like if Madrid were unimportant or unnamed. Jesus! What sort of rude behaviour I just e...

Excuse me, sir... What "stuff like this" is supposed to have happened in my beautiful town? :angry:

Gotcha. :up:

I agree. That’s about what happens to A. Yes. And reaching (more or less) that conclusion, we can (perhaps) say that A is the ambiguous here. Right?

:clap: I couldn’t have said it better. Michael, frame that post please because @"flannel jesus" is not capable of seeing that A can actually be a liar...

Dude…

I have never said that A always lies. It is obvious and that would make the riddle senseless. As far as I can understand the relationship between the ...

Thank you so much for your posts. You explained very well what I tried to explain, but I couldn’t find the correct premises due to my lack of wording ...

Yes, I understood it at the first glance, but: If Person A is the person who sometimes tells the truth, then it means he sometimes lies. Person A coul...

We already know C is the truth-teller. But I was wondering what happened to A. Some claim he is ambiguous, others he is contradictory. If he is ambigu...

I am trying to make an approach. I claim that A is just contradictory in his statement, but you are defending that A is precisely the ambiguous here b...

Excellent! :up: Thanks to your contribution to this thread. Also, to @"flannel jesus" for keeping the discussion alive. I am enjoying this.

The context where A is always true and not sometimes.

I thought B was ambiguous at first glance, but consider this, Michael: Person A claims person B always tells the truth. Person B claims person B (hims...

That’s what I tried to argue! If A is contradictory, then C is the truthteller, and B is ambiguous. I mean, according to this context, B could be the ...

Yes. I agree and I see the point. But what happens to A then? B is the only one who says he tells the truth sometimes. Nonetheless, it seems the riddl...

I back up your argument, and I also see A as ambiguous. A claims person B always tells the truth. B claims that person B (himself) sometimes tells the...

Are you suggesting that A is actually ambiguous and not B?

Exactly. That is why I questioned whether A contradicts his own assertion or if A, like B, is simply ambiguous. At least, we both believe that C is th...

I had the same thoughts about C. A is a liar, and B is ambiguous , so I believe C is the lone truth-teller. But I was wondering if I had properly writ...

Okay. I will be more clear. Yes.

B says the truth or not but not both. B says the truth often. B also lies often. B doesn’t say both. The ambiguity of B is the core of this riddle. I ...

Why does it take so long to understand an axiom that appears so simple? I once read Bertrand Russell's works, and one of them was Principia Mathematic...

:up:

Could it be defined as "equals to..."?

Are you referring to 'is' in terms of identity or value? For example: 5 is 5 in both mathematics and in our understanding of numerical systems. Meanwh...

The brightness of Bellingham terrifies me more than any referee error. This boy is exceptional. He scored a key goal in the last minute against Barcel...

Well, fate has put us against England in the Euros final on this Sunday. I am already nervous. I never thought Spain would face England in a final foo...

Thanks! :heart:

I didn't expect the opposite from you, irmão. :strong:

You are right. I am the one who apologises for derailing the topic in an inconsistent scenario. I thought the non-existence of a dog was a fascinating...

Don’t get me wrong. I explained myself mistakenly. It is true that you didn’t mention the non-existing dog, and I think Athena never thought about it ...
