The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever!
Is this possible to solve?
Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular 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 all questions 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.

You should make a hypothetical question to the gods so you won’t worry about which one of the words is yes or no staring with - middle god: if I asked you that the god on my left is c would you answer ja? If ja it could be c you’re talking to which is meaningless or you’re talking a or b so if ja not c is right if da not c is left. - Tell not c: if I asked you are you b would you say ja? If ja it’s b if da it’s a. - Tell same god: if I asked you that the center god is c(or b) would you say ja? Any answer will give out the name and process of elimination will give out the next god. Ex: ja for c center is c and b is on right or da right is c and b is on center
