I don't really understand the point of this puzzle because if he asks you 18 or 20 each time then you can escape in fewer days than the "correct" solution just by brute forcing the correct answer. There's only a maximum of 4 permutations that you and your friend can come up with.
[edit]
ahhh, I missed the "get it wrong and you die" bit. Thanks for the clarification guys.
- palotasb 8y agoGuessing wrong gets you locked up forever.
- rimliu 8y agoBuried. The captor says he is preparing graves.
- JFFalcon 8y agoIf either of you guesses wrong, you both die.
- benmmurphy 8y ago'Get it wrong, and neither of you ever leave.' basically, you can either pass or attempt to give a correct answer. if you try to give a correct answer and fail you are stuck forever. you can YOLO a guess but you have a 50% chance of being stuck forever.
