Um... it makes your brain hurt?

[CloudStrife]

Nope... you have till tuesday.

[Chevalier-Ange]

I got one. What is magic about the word pund?

Do you mean pound?

[ScienceFair]

Um... your question does not deserve to wait til Tuesday, as that's way too long and it doesn't make sense to anyone who has read it.

Allrighty then, the next in my series.


This was Astronaut Jose Perez's fourth visit to Mars and he learned to speak Martian. He wanted to find his Martian friend Doman, but in order to locate him he had to know what group Doman belonged to. The Three groups in the area were: Uti, Yomi, and Grundi.
The Uti always told the truth
The Yomi always lied
The Grundi sometimes told the truth but sometimes lied.
Perez needed information. Three Martians, Aken, Bal, and Cwos, each of whom belonged to a different group, agreed to help him. He asked each one of them two questions: What group do you belong to? What group does Doman belong to?

1. Aken said:
    I am not a Uti.
    Doman is a Yomi.

2. Bal said:
    I am not a Yomi.
    Doman is a Grundi.

3. Cwos said:
    I am not a Grundi.
    Doman is a Uti.

Which group does Doman belong to?

[RedAxie]

I say Grundi.
:/

[OnewingedDragon]

Clarification:

I need the answer as well as the explanation to how you got there. Just throwing out the name will not help.

[RedAxie]

Dammit.

Well.
I don't know ow the hell I got the answer last time.
but here is me writing down my thoughts instead of just reading/thinking. -facepalm-



Well Aken is obviously a Grundi, because he said "I am not an Uti" now, if he wasn't, then he has to be a Grundi or Yomi. He couldn't be a Yomi, because he would be telling the truth, and that doesn't happen, so he has to be a Grundi, and told the truth.

That by automatic uh...uh...i dont' know the wordthe answer obiouvs

Bal said he isn't a Yomi.
Cwos said he's not a Grundi. That's true, because the Grundi part is taken. Which means he is a Uti. And it means Bal is lying. Process of elimination means Bal is a Yomi..

And Doman is Uti >>

[Chevalier-Ange]

Hehehe...nicely done. I think you are actually right ^_^

In all Logic puzzles, the easiest way to see it is, if it isn't this, or can't be this, then it has to be that, BUT, can only be that if 'that' isn't used by another part of the puzzle ^^

[OnewingedDragon]

Most excellent. Do you want to post one or should I continue?

[RedAxie]

I don't have any, so go right ahead.

...
-dances-

[CloudStrife]

Ok well i might as well say the answer to mine since no one could guess it and that was a good riddle OWA anyways the answer was that if you put it upside down then reversed it, it would be pund again.

[Chevalier-Ange]

It does indeed...however, since I for one could not even find the dictionary meaning of that word, I assumed it was a typo. Sorry Cloud, but I did think it was a typo 

[OnewingedDragon]

Cloud, next time use a real word, if you can find one.

There was trouble from the Grundi. One of them damaged the spaceship by hurling a rock at it. The astronauts couldn't figure out what the Grundi had to gain by their hostile act. Was it just vandalism, done out of sheer spite? Or perhaps not everyone on Mars was happy to see the Earthlings return.
The Martian police brought in five Grundi for questioning. Like all Grundi, they sometimes told the truth and sometimes lied. The suspects each made three statements, two of which were true and one of which was false. And the guilty one was revealed.

1. Zum said:
    I am innocent.
    I have never uysed a rock to destroy anything.
    Tset did it.
2. Uk said:
    I did not do the damage.
    The Earthman's vehicle is on Grundi space.
    Yan is not my friend.
3. Pala said:
    I am innocent.
    I never saw Yan before.
    Tset is guilty.
4. Tset said:
    I did not throw the rock.
    Yan did it.
    Yum did not tell the truth when he said I did it.
5. Yan said:
    I am innocent.
    Uk is guilty.
    Pala and I are old friends.

Who was the culprit?

[Chevalier-Ange]
