The History Paper
Your argument is valid and the premises are correct.
“What if we strike a deal?” You asked her.
“Such as what? What could you have to offer?”
Chase gave you a warning look, reminding you to be cautious in what you say. “If I can prove to you that humans can rationalize and aren’t as stupid as you think, you help us get out.”
“And if you can’t?”
“You do whatever you do with people who died.”
She looked annoyed. “Human, you didn’t offer me anything. You are going to lose, and when you do, I’m just getting what I would have gotten if I didn’t accept.”
“Then you have nothing to lose.” You sounded much too confident for the severity of the conversation.
As she thought it over, Chase glanced at you, clearly angry. “What do you think you’re doing? Wagering with a god?” He whisper-yelled, “maybe you are a moron like she said. Do you understand how dangerous this is?”
“Chase, I have a plan,” you said carefully, “she’s cocky and arrogant – she’s going to want to pose the puzzle. If I get the answer right, we’re fine. If I don’t, I know what to do. Trust me.”
“That’s a little difficult when you’re literally betting our lives on trying to reason with a god.”
“I accept your challenge. I will propose a puzzle that will require you to use logical reasoning. If you can solve it, I will help you.” Luna said. When you nodded, she continued, “there are 4 doors, each with an inscription. Behind one of the doors is a safe passage, the others have monsters lurking behind them. On door 1, the inscription is it’s behind door 2 or 3. Door 2 says it’s behind door 1 or 4. Door 3 says it’s behind here and door 4 says it’s not here. 3 of the inscriptions are false, 1 is true. Which door do you choose?”
