Unfaithful Act Shoot

466.2K Views

There is an ancient kingdom where every married woman keeps information regarding the fidelity of other men. However, what they don’t know is the fidelity of their own husbands. Also, there is an ancient belief that they don’t tell each other about the fidelity of their husbands.

On a certain day, the queen of the kingdom declares that she has identified at least one unfaithful man in the kingdom. She allows the wives to identify and gives them authority to kill their husbands if they are unfaithful at midnight.

How will the wives manage it?

    This will work ONLY IF EVERY WOMAN knew about EVERY MAN‘s (other than own husband). But the question does not say so. It is possible that, the wives know the infidelity of different sets of men.  e.g. say, there are 10 couples, out of which 6 men – let’s call them A, C, D, F, H, and J are infidel.  A’s wife knows that C, D, F, H & J are infidel. That’s 5 persons. But B’s wife (whose husband’s fidelity is NOT questionable) is not that much informed. She only knows about A, C, D, & J, (i.e., she doesn’t know that F and H are infidel, but since the count she knows is  less than the count of A’s wife, she will end up killing her innocent husband, B.

     

    I’m not saying that the answer is wrong. The problem lies not with the answer, but with the question – or, rather, its wording. But you “assumed” the correct version of the question and gave the answer (may be because you have heard /seen the correct version of the question elsewhere).
