Knights" must appear before the court of Queen Bella. However, to be granted an audience, you face a gauntlet of challenges. Your trustworthy guide Lady Sabah (each of whose statements is True) will escort you through the process. A. The first challenge is to retrieve a golden coin. In front of you are two chests, the first (call it Y) guarded by Sir Yianni and other (call it S) guarded by Sir Shlomo. Sabah informs you that each chest contains either a golden coin or a deadly scorpion. No chest contains both a coin and a scorpion. She adds that the fearsome knights will each make a statement and that either both statements will be True or else both statements will be False. Here are the statements: Yianni: At least one of these two chests contains a golden coin you seek. Shlomo: Treasure chest Y contains a deadly scorpion. Which chest do you open to retrieve the golden coin? Formulate the problem using propositional logic to explain your answer. B. Having successfully retrieved the golden coin, Sabah brings you to the next challenge. In front of you are three boxes guarded, respectively by Lady Jessica, Lady Paige, and Sir Logan. One of the boxes contains a jewel that you must present to the Queen; the other two boxes are empty. Sabah informs you that each guard will make a statement and that one statement will be True and the other two False. Jessica: The jewel is not in Box 1. Paige: The jewel is not in Box 2. Logan: The jewel is in Box 2. Which box contains the jewel? Formulate the problem using propositional logic and solve using a truth table. Knights" must appear before the court of Queen Bella.
