Jan 12, 2016 at 11:09 comment added CJ Dennis How many logicians must be drunk at a minimum? Why do you have to drink logicians?
Jan 11, 2016 at 17:30 comment added Corey Ogburn This site needs a no loopholes tag so that answers that turn this into a trick question wouldn't be valid.

Jan 9, 2016 at 3:56 comment added njzk2 @GOTO0 either way it's obvious. they either don't know anything about the other and can't drive themselves or know that they have to be drunk
Jan 8, 2016 at 22:00 comment added Jonathan Pullano A (slightly) more interesting puzzle is if the bartender asks if they are all drunk.
Jan 8, 2016 at 21:47 comment added GOTO 0 @njzk2 Actually logicians don't assume anything they don't know for sure. Because they are logicians. But I'm impressed by the popularity of this puzzle. Apparently, assumptions make better jokes.

Jan 8, 2016 at 20:50 comment added njzk2 I would like an answer to Ninety-Three's question
Jan 8, 2016 at 19:34 comment added Brilliand @11684 Being drunk is not the only way to be unable to drive. Taken to an extreme, it's possible for an individual sober logician to not know whether he will be able to drive home. See the "zero" answers below.
Jan 8, 2016 at 19:28 comment added 11684 @Brilliand If zero logicians were drunk, wouldn't all logicians answer "yes" since any one of them would know that they themselves would be able to drive home?

Jan 8, 2016 at 19:10 comment added Brilliand Downvoted because the question allows the unsatisfying "zero" answer to be correct.

Jan 8, 2016 at 18:02 comment added Ian MacDonald Thank goodness none of them are drunk enough to think they can drive home.

Jan 8, 2016 at 10:19 comment added Alex I think the question is meant like: "Is anybody of you three sober enough to drive back home?"

Jan 7, 2016 at 23:35 comment added Michael Lorton People who supply answers like "the third logician does not know whether there is gas in his car" would probably be happier on a different site.

Jan 7, 2016 at 21:25 comment added Ninety-Three Is it intended that a logician is unable to drive back home if and only if he is drunk?
