The liar, the truth teller....and the random answererThere is a truth teller (always tells the truth), a liar (always lies), and one that sometimes answers
truthfully and sometimes lies. Each man knows who is who. You may ask three yes or no question to determine

questions and to whom will you ask them?
"They can conquer who believe they can."
