Brainteaser: The Truthteller and the Togglers

[Osensitive1]

Yeah. Thinking you're trolling me again. It's in plain black and white. Toggler, whether telling the truth, or telling a lie, identifies the truth teller. It's simple. The question isn't are you a toggler, but who is a toggler/ who are the togglers.

No, you said the question is 'are you a toggler?'

Even the question 'who is/are the toggler(s)?' won't give you the answer you want on the fiirst question.

Why do you accuse trolling when someone disagrees with you?

Like I said, not reading my posts. My first correct solution was to ask, are you a toggler. This required two questions. I've since come up with a better quesiton which requires no second question, and that question is who are the togglers. On the assumption of full truth and lie. My answer is correct.  Not thinking you disagree, but aren't reading.

You know, I love this thread, nice thinking exercise. But I think it was fluke that I solved it because usually I'm supposed to suck at brainteasers lol.

It depends on how a lying toggler answers. If he's going to be completely lying, then yes, one question only is needed. If he's going to mention himself as a toggler along with the Truthteller, then yes it becomes a problem.

Both of you are right.

Thanks.

It really is a tricky conundrum, one that can keep people going for ages.

Where did you find that one, MC?

To be honest, I actually didn't expect such enthusiasm. But I'm pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, it's a brilliant exercise, isn't it? I got it from one of the brainteaser videos at Khan Academy. But even the guy speaking in the video seemed to have been confused by this problem.

If that were asked at WP, you'd get responses like 'what's a toggler?', 'autistics don't lie!', 'Autism Speaks will find a cure!' etc. I would say this is the thinking-persons' forum, alright.

It kind of pissed me off a little.

That's what brainteasers for.

Not me, I just posted a bonehead response and let the smart ones figure it out. 

[Osensitive1]

Toggler. You knew the answer the whole time.

[The_Chosen_One]

Nah, I've never known PPK to lie, so he can't be a toggler.

Unless you're suggesting.....

[ProfessorFarnsworth]

...We're all togglers?

[Calavera]

Well, think about it this way.

Only 5 have posted here in this thread. This matches the number of the 5 men in that riddle.

Therefore, four of us are Togglers and one of us is the Truthteller.

The question is ... who's who?

The truth hurts.
