> Three gods A, B, and C are called, and in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter.

Your mission to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes or no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.

So... If we ask A, B & C same question...
**Are you C?**
Answer could be
A ja
B da
C ja-da
So A determine ja=no da=yes 

I let someone else carry on from here...
