Is it a problem to find out everything about everyone from this information?

Is It???????.....No Prizes By The Way ;)
 
HHmm......CH not good!

The short answer to the question is yes. The most basic of reasons is because YES it is a problem to figure out the answer. This is a story problem. If I ask "is adding 1 and 1 a problem?" Yes of course it is a problem, the problem is 1+1 the solution is 2.

The short answer two, you finished your chart, then look down at the question and answer "No. that wasn't a problem at all."

I see the same problems I saw with the einstein puzzle.

The question is a paradox. You can interpert the meaning of it many ways. It is too unclear almost every part of the sentence can be read in a different context.

It is sort of like asking someone the liar question in a way. "Yes or no will the next word from your mouth be no?" can you possibly answer yes or no honestly?" I also have a comment regarding that paradox. I think I know the answer. Yeah yeah it's a paradox, there is no answer but anyways for the heck of it. Lying has to do with intent. You could say either yes or no and still be telling the truth.

If I was asked the honesty question, I would make a choice in my mind regarding what my next word was going to be. If intended to say no, I would say yes and if I intended to say yes I would say no. To lie would mean I made a choice in my mind, yes or no, then I switch my answers.

I am willing to bet money that a lie detector test would agree with me.
