Unfaithful Act Shoot
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?
Let’s try this everywhere will ask every wife how many Unfaithful man they know if the number is more than what any know then she will kill her husband.
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).
i made mistake i accept it
a wife who is not widow goes and ask every wife who is not widow how many she knows un faithful. now
let us see a case
a wife not widow ask another wife not widow about how many faithful she knows
whose number is less will kill her husband.
“There is an ancient kingdom where every married woman keeps information regarding the fidelity of other men.”
