I recently asked this riddle of Co-Pilot and Chat gpt, and after several minutes of trying to get the answer, they gave up so I thought I would post it here to see if any of our members have more luck than they had.
Lateral thinking is required.
If I give you the answer to a question, can you tell me what the question was?. I had no luck with it after a lot of thinking!!
The answer to the question is,
Nein W.

The question was asked of Mr Wagner as to whether his name commenced with the letter V. His reply, in German, was Nein W.

Thank you. I remember back to school days when a teacher would pose a question each afternoon as we left to go home. No AI or Google then. One that stumped us all was when must the answer of yes be an untrue answer. Think about it. Apologies for lack of quotation marks but on iPhone.

Are you a liar?

Well no Dorian. If the person is a liar and is confessing to being that, then the answer is not untrue.
One question is "are you asleep".
Think about it.

That's my brain fart for today. There'll be another one tomorrow.
I have seen a person sleepwalking. I don't know whether it's possible to have a conversation in that state.

Apparently when a person is sleepwalking it is sometimes possible to have a conversation or a reaction to a comment but it usually lacks any sensible meaning. It is just an automatic response that is not a conscious effort and is devoid of reasoning. So perhaps, that person could not give a truthful answer. I don't know.
