Extra activity: How logical are you?
In this chapter you can see that Christopher has a very logical mind. How logical are you?
Read the logic puzzle below. You might be able to work out the answer, but, if not, it is given at the bottom of the page.
Once you know the answer, draw a diagram, like the one Christopher uses to explain the Monty Hall Problem, to help you to understand the answer, or to explain it to someone else.
Now try explaining the problem in a few sentences of writing. If you are good at maths, you could also explain the answer using a formula.
A traveller stumbles across the legendary treasure house of the lost city of Tenbar, guarded by two immortals, each standing in front of a door. There is only one problem: behind one door she will find the piles of gold she has heard such incredible stories about; behind the other, poisonous snakes. She knows from the legend that one guard will always tell the truth, and one guard will always lie, but she doesn’t know which is which. She can only ask one question of one guard to help her decide which door to open. What should she ask?
(Answer: she asks, ‘Is the guard who tells the truth standing in front of the door to the treasure?’ If the answer is ‘Yes’, she opens the door behind the guard who answers. If the answer is ‘No’, she opens the door behind the other guard.)
