LATERAL THINKING ON MARS

x
This was astronaut Jose Perez's fourth visit to Mars and he had learned to speak Martian. He wanted to find his Martian friend Doman, but in order to locate him he had to know what group Doman belonged to.

The three groups in the area were: Uti, Yomi, and Grundi.

The Uti always told the truth.

The Yomi always lied.

The Grundi sometimes told the truth but sometimes lied.

Perez needed information. Three Martians, Aken, Bal and Cwos, each of whom belonged to a different group, agreed to help him. He asked each one of them two questions:

What group do you belong to?

What group does Doman belong to?

1. Aken said: I am not a Uti. Doman is a Yomi.
2. Bal said: I am not a Yomi. Doman is a Grundi.
3. Cwos said: I am not a Grundi. Doman is a Uti.

What group does Doman belong to?

Logic on the Planet Wong: Chapter 1

After our spaceship landed on Planet Wong, we got out, climbed down the ladder and stood on the dusty planet's surface. We scanned the surrounding landscape for a few moments.

Then we started walking towards the two moons that were close together and low down near the horizon, one noodle coloured and the other one the same colour as gudeg.

After walking for a few minutes we saw a native of the planet - a Wong - and we approached her. "Are we going in the right direction for the Planet Wong Tourist Information Office?" we asked.

The Wong thought about our question, looked around for a moment, and then she rubbed her stomach.

Now we knew that the Wongs could understand some English, but were unable to speak it. And we, like everybody else back on Earth, could neither speak Wongish nor understand Wongish hand signals or gestures.

And we had a problem. We didn't know whether rubbing the stomach meant yes or no. But by asking one additional question, we were able to find out.

What was that question?

Do you know?
