First of all, the joke makes no sense if you put a logistician instead of logician. Second, if you ask one person a question related to the opinions of all others, logically they can't answer yes or no, the only possible answer is "I don't know." Only when you reach the last person you have a chance of giving a definite answer.
Note the first logicians have to answer "I don't know" even if they don't wan't it, otherwise their statement becomes untrue.

No. "A && B && C" is only true when all three are true. If A knows it does not want, they can answer "no", because there is no way "ALL want" is true in that case.
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoCorrect. I missed "all" in the joke.
