Chrono Community Giveaway V: Revenge of the Puzzles (CLOSED, Winners Notified, Solutions Revealed)

82

i get that’s the idea behind it, but that is based on the assumption of the cause of silence, which doesn’t leave it as “certainty”, meaning nr1 couldn’t really deduce his own hat, without luck/guess, as his deduction would be based on assumption on a scenario, which isn’t the only potential reason for the silence -depending on parameters
(at least not as i saw it)

what i mean is, nr1 only knows something when nr 3 speaks up “i’m white”, nr 1 then knows he is black,
since in all the other variations, both nr 2+3 can be both black or white at the same time, leaving them silent, but still leaves the option for 1 to be black if they are either both white or nr3black nr2 white, , or nr 2 white, nr3 black, -so he’d need boths uncertainty (in saying “i’m either black or white”) at the same time to know for certain he couldn’t be black, a wisemans person’s silence just serve to reinforce the the uncertainty of the others in that scenario-without guessing/luck
(unless i’m missing a rule or something)

Still haven’t solved the first puzzle even with the clue. I’m pretty sure I’m overthinking it at this point. Time for some trail and error! (Despite my frustration I am enjoying this.)

-i figured out my mistake :man_facepalming:
i kept changing my own scenarios/rules as i went along in the riddle/skipped to next wiseman lol
so what i thought would “fit” would only due so if i disregarded something from the riddle/rules, which means what fit in one case/“direction” then suddenly wouldn’t in the next, which ofc is messing things up lol
sorta helps solving if the rules “apply to all”, and not mixing it up as going along/to the next line lol
(don’t know what felt most awesome, “getting” the riddle fully, or spotting where i switched up the mess):smile:
see where i went wrong? :man_facepalming: -so simple :rofl: , should have been obvious to me i messed up :man_facepalming: :laughing:

Captains log 2: The first puzzle has been completed and I feel like a complete idiot. I understand what I was looking at wrong, but I wish I had started looking at other options some hours ago. Onward to puzzle 2 now.

Captain’s log 3: the second puzzle proved much easier than the first, thanks to some prior life skills. With spirits high, my journey continues.

y, in the 3rd and 6th cases, the second guy would not remain silent because he would know that he was white

I’m not looking for clues but I’m stumped on puzzle 2, I have it all worked out but what I get “does not send me in the right direction” It can’t be the puzzle because everyone else is getting it but I can’t think why its not working.

@Gnuffi
I did it all in my head though, lol, but I did have to mute Lirik’s stream about 2/3 through my reasoning and ask my wife to wait 1 min when she suddenly addressed me towards the end, rofl

Ok now for one of my favourite riddles. 30 cows in a field, 28 chickens. How many didnt?

Solution

10 because 20 chickens were eaten (20 ate chickens)

Thats more of a spoken riddle I am guessing? Or else it doesn’t really make sense.

yes it does work better when spoken, but it’s still going to get you thinking even in writing

yup, :blush:, in those last 2 cases i had disregarded the “existence” of the 3rd man, and acted as if the only input nr2 had was from what he saw in front (which ofc wasnt the case/rules, -and pretty silly considering it hadn’t been the case prior :smile:)

Riddle 1:

A pallid visage in plain sight revealed by its foe.

It does not fast, it does not feast, and yet does shrink and grow.

Much grander and yet more minute than those it stands beside.

Unendingly stalking around, a circuitous stride.

Riddle 2:

I’m left behind yet never taken, set down in a row.

Seldom seen in isolation, captured by the snow.

Set apart by haste, though immobile all the same.

When left un-defaced, a betrayal of the game.

Riddle 3:

Born of the cold and born of the heat.

Pacing the world on legs oh so fleet.

Swiftest up high, lethargic down low.

The actions are seen, the form does not show.

(and i’m ofc not entering for anything)
