(The edit was because in real games of Dethy, self-targeting isn't allowed, which I admittedly didn't make clear at all.) Anyway, your answer is exactly correct and what I intended. | |

Minor edit: previous edit made everything spoiler-boxed.

| Aug 21, 2022 at 20:13 | comment | added | Braegh | Not if self-targeting is legal. (The question was edited: "a player" -> "another player".) If the Goon claims a self-target, the two are switched. | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 20:11 | comment | added | Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica | Don't you always know that anyway though? If the three results on the same person are innocent, then the Sane Cop is one of the three and the Insane Cop is not, and if guilty, then the Insane Cop is one of the three and the Sane Cop is not. | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 20:10 | comment | added | Braegh | @JosephSible-ReinstateMonica At the time of my answer, the question did not specify "another player". This means you can no longer disambiguate Sane or Insane Cop being present in the three, because the conflicting target could be the Goon. Thinking through it, I believe that scenario can still potentially be solvable - you'd just need to be able to determine which of the Sane/Insane cops is present outside of the conflict. | |

| Aug 21, 2022 at 19:28 | comment | added | Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica | @EdMurphy While you would indeed not be able to prove who the Mafia Goon is in that situation, both the premise and conclusion of the sentence I'm referring to still seem to be true. | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 18:57 | comment | added | Ed Murphy | J S-R M: Consider the first example again, except that Bob (Insane) claims Alice is guilty. In that scenario, the cops can't deduce which of Alice/Dave/Eve is the Goon (Alice can rule out herself but not Dave, and Dave can rule out himself but not Alice). | |
| Aug 21, 2022 at 18:48 | comment | added | Joseph Sible-Reinstate Monica | "if the conflicting results are on one of the two confirmed innocent players" When is that ever not the case? | |
