Can AI solve complex riddles (GPT-3)

**Riddles and Puzzles: A Test of Logical Skills**

Recently, we came across three intriguing riddles that put our logical skills to the test. In this article, we'll delve into each of these riddles and explore their solutions.

**The First Riddle: A Woman's Guilty Plea**

A woman was in court for killing her husband, claiming she wasn't guilty and said she dearly missed him. However, during the closing statement, her lawyer made a surprising comment that left everyone stunned. The lawyer stated that Michael, the husband, would walk through the doors in about 30 seconds. The entire courtroom stared at the doors, waiting for Michael's wife to walk back through them. The lawyer concluded by saying, "See if he wears your shirt, she killed her husband." The jury then immediately gave the guilty verdict.

**The Solution**

So, how did we arrive at the solution? It's quite simple, really. We had to look at the answer before we asked the GPT-3 what it thinks. The key was to analyze the situation carefully and consider all possibilities. If the woman was telling the truth and genuinely missed her husband, she would have been watching the doors, not staring at them. This is because if he was truly missing, they would have been looking for him instead of waiting for him to walk through a door. In other words, the jury realized that Michael's wife was lying about being missing, as there was no possibility of her husband walking back through the doors.

**The Second Riddle: A Tricky Statement**

Another riddle caught our attention, which read: "A woman was in court for killing her husband. She said that she wasn't guilty and that she dearly missed him. In the closing statement, the woman's lawyer stands up and says, 'Her husband was just missing everyone looked at the doors he's going to walk through them in about 30 seconds.' The entire jury stares at the doors waiting for this woman's husband to walk back through the doors. The lawyer and the woman stare at the jury. The lawyer concludes by saying, 'See if he wears her shirt she killed her husband you wouldn't have watched me watching that door.'" Can you figure out why the jury gave the guilty verdict?

**The Solution**

We analyzed this riddle carefully, considering all possible interpretations. It turned out that the solution was quite straightforward. The key was to understand what the lawyer was trying to achieve with his statement. By saying "Her husband was just missing everyone looked at the doors he's going to walk through them in about 30 seconds," the lawyer was trying to trick the jury into assuming Michael, the husband, was still alive. If that were the case, it would mean he had committed the crime – i.e., killed his wife. Therefore, the jury realized that Michael's wife was lying about being missing and therefore guilty of murder.

**The Third Riddle: A Cartoon Character Conundrum**

Our final riddle was a bit more complex, but also quite interesting. It read: "Michael is a 31-year-old man from America. He is at a famous museum in France looking at its most famous painting. However, the artist who made this painting just makes Michael think of his favorite cartoon character from his childhood. What country of origin does the thing that the cartoon character usually holds in his hand?" We conducted a poll with 38 answers and found that 25 people thought it was the USA, 25 thought it was Italy, and 13 thought it was France.

**The Solution**

We decided to approach this riddle by breaking it down into smaller parts. The first question we asked ourselves was "What is a really famous museum in France?" We knew the answer to be the Louvre Museum, which houses some of the world's most iconic works of art. Then, we wondered what Michael's favorite cartoon character from his childhood might be. Given that the character makes him think of the painting at the Louvre, it's likely that the character is Leonardo da Vinci, also known as Leonardo. The next question was "What does Leonardo usually hold in his hand?" We knew this to be a katana sword, which is typically associated with Japanese culture. Therefore, we concluded that the country of origin of the thing that the cartoon character usually holds in his hand is indeed Japan.

**Conclusion**

These three riddles presented us with a challenge to test our logical skills and think creatively. While they may seem simple at first glance, each riddle required careful analysis and consideration of all possible interpretations. We're glad we got to share these puzzles with you and explore the solutions together!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: entoday we will be testing how good AI is at solving riddles and some logical problems we will be using the large language model gpt3 to test this and I will be tracking how well the AI did perform anyway let's just get so before we start looking at the riddles let me just go over the rules we have set for this test so we have about 10 I think there's 10 riddles and it will be increasing in difficulty the AI will get 5 attempts on each riddle so that's going to be like a re-roll uh I'm gonna show you this uh the temperature of the model will be set to 1 to be most creative and finally I will be calculating how many percentages of these riddles the AI actually did solve in five attempts so now let's just go over to dipty3 and start looking at some riddles okay so now we are in gpt3 and let me just uh read up what I have written here so I have told the model you are a riddle solving expert that knows all about riddles and logical math problems answer the following riddle so I think we just start with the first one I found so that is who is stuck with the neck and no head two arms no hands what is it so let's see so this is going to be like the first reroll okay so the answer to this riddle is a shirt that is correct so that's uh first time first answer correct okay so this might be more of a logical problem than a riddle so the ages of a father and son adds up to 66 the father's age is the son's age reversed how old should they be three possible solutions so let's see what the AI found out there the father could be 36 the song could be 30 39 and 27 51 and 15. okay so let me just check up the answers okay so the answers was 15 and 15 42 and 24 60 and 06 so I guess he got one correct so I guess I have to give it this answer correct it was strange that got two wrongs so but it got one right so I guess this is a pass too so for the third riddle we have what flattens all mountains wipes out all species destroys every building and turns everything into pieces so let's see the answer to this riddle is time yes that is correct so I guess that's three out of three so far not bad okay so the next riddle we have is what was never scared but became petrified can't make a bird but can't make a bet can't live in a house but would die to have one what is it let's say yeah that is correct I guess this was kind of easy so three was correct so I guess that's four out of four okay so the fifth one we have is I'll be a bit surprised if it uh gets this because let me just read it up you see a boat filled with people it has not sung but when you look again you don't see a single person on the boat why so I know the answer to this it's a bit strange but I'd be very surprised if it Nails this okay so let's go the boat is filled with people brothers and sisters same color clothes no that's not it okay so that was one reroll this is the second one there's a hole in the boat um the people of both have gone below deck no I don't think he gets this one because it's a bit clever the boat was filled with fish so that's the fourth reload so I got one last chance the people got off the boat no it didn't get this but it's a bit let me see if I change this to uh capital s no I don't think that changed anything try now no okay so this is a bit tricky because I guess it doesn't understand like so the clue here is single so the answer is that everyone on the boat were married you get it so single has like a double meaning I knew this kind I would understand this no so that's the first run I guess okay let's move on to the sixth grid also Lily is a lily pad in a small pond Lily double her size each day on the 20th day she covers the whole pump on what day was Lily half size of the pawn this is again more of a logical problem I guess than a riddle so I don't know how good this is gonna be at this but let's see on the 10th day nope it's not right and they you know yes that is correct actually okay so that was not bad um let me just give you an answer here so the answer is day 19 it's not 10 like she tried like the egypti tried two first attempts because on day 20 she doubled from day 19. so 19 must be half the size of the pond you get it okay so that was kind of impressive um so I guess that was correct then so it does five out of six down okay so the seventh I would say is more of a riddle it says I am an eight-letter word I'm a kept secret from everyone my second third and fourth letter spells an animal my fourth fifth and sixth and seventh and eighth letter is a weapon my first second and eighth letter is used for writing an exam a third and fourth letters are the same who am I okay so this is a riddle so let's see seminar nope that's wrong re-roll number two examination oh sample oh okay so we got two more attempts I'm a Blackboard no examiner okay so this is the last attempt kind of thought they would get this but maybe it's to examination nope that was a fail the answer is password so like it's a sport sword it's yeah you get it I'm a kept secret from anyone so that was a fail so I guess we now have five out of seven correct okay so number eight I would also say it's a riddle so let me just read it out I am the black child of a white Father Like A wingless bird flying even through the Clouds Of Heaven I give birth to tears of mourning in pupils that meet me even though there's no cause for grief on my birth I am dissolved into air what am I I think I remember the answer to this so let's go you are smoke yeah that's correct maybe that was too easy I don't know but okay first time first uh first time correct so that's now six out of eight so the next one I'm I'm not sure if this qualifies as a riddle but anyway let's just read it out a woman was in court for killing her husband she said that she wasn't guilty and that she dearly missed him in the closing statement the woman's lawyer stands up and says her husband was just missing everyone looked at the doors he's going to walk through them in about 30 seconds the entire URI stares at the doors waiting for This Woman's husband to walk back through the doors the lawyer and the woman stare at the jury the lawyer concludes by saying see if he wears her shirt she killed her husband you wouldn't have watched me watching that door the jury then immediately gave the guilty verdict why Okay so okay I don't really remember the answer to this but um let me check that out okay so here I think we have to look at the answer before we ask the dpt3 what it thinks so the answer here is the woman was watching the jury and not the doors because she knew that her husband wouldn't walk through them because she had killed him if she has if she has really missed him like she said she would have been washing the doors okay so I guess the answer here is what we gotta look out for is uh like the GPT has to say that she would have been watching the doors if she was telling the truth Okay so let's see if we can get that answer here okay or that go the Yuri saw through the lawyers it was dead no that's not what we're looking for that she would have been staring at the door the woman was lying and her husband wasn't missing he was dead the jury knew this because if he was truly missing they would have been looking for him they would have been looking for him instead of watching the door that was horrible what oh God okay that's second okay so the woman husband was really missing but they sure didn't know did you already assumed that the one was dead she was guilty the lawyer's statement was a way of tricking the jury and to realize that they have assumed so no remember we are looking for that she would have been watching the door if she was not guilty the jury game against the verdict because the woman's lawyer was trying to suggest that her husband was still alive which means that he must have killed him oh God no okay final attempt the reason the jury gave the guilty verdict is because they were expecting the husband to walk through the door oh which would have meant that the woman was lying about being that now that was horrible okay so that was a big fail I guess but it was really complicated funny answers though okay so that was wrong so I guess we only have one left then okay so the final one is quite an interesting one I actually found on Reddit uh okay so here it goes Michael is a 31 year old man from America he is at that famous really famous Museum in France looking at its most famous painting however the artist who made this painting just makes Michael think of his favorite cartoon character from his childhood what was the country of origin of the thing that the cartoon character usually holds in his hand okay so I did a quick poll on this yesterday very small sample size but 38 answered Japan 25 USA 25 Italy and 13 France so I guess it's skewed towards Japan so let's see what the AI thinks above this one I can't really okay let's just try it France nope that's wrong that was roll number one America no America nope that's third just these parameters twists there's not enough information that's not good enough what do you mean there is okay so I guess it just gave up then but we are gonna dissect this because I have a nope it didn't get this so we are gonna dissect this now I think I found a way to do it so let's just do that before we reveal the answer so how are we gonna decide dissect this is I have prepared a lot of questions about this riddle so the first one goes what is a really famous Museum in France yeah that's correct the loop and what is his most famous painting Melissa correct who is the artist DaVinci correct cartoon character name is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle yes what does Leonardo usually hold in his hand his word what kind of sword a katana and then it what is the origin country of katana so the answer was Japan see when we did it like this it kind of got it but I guess it didn't from just this maybe if we worded it out differently I'm not sure but uh yeah that was a lot of fun actually so it was very interesting testing ai's logical skills uh check out this video if you want to know
