- anigbrowl 12y agoThank you.
- Nursie 12y agoOf course it's nonsense. If we can deduce the answer from silence then there's no need for any of the information given in the question, it's not a logic puzzle it's bullshit. I don't assume Albert and Bernard are anything, if you've made assumptions beyond what's stated in the question then you've done it wrong. And yes, I understand timing oracles.
