Abstract

The problem is to determine which processors are reliable in a remote location by asking "Yes or No" questions. The processors are of three types: those that always tell the truth, those that always lie, and those the sometimes tell the truth and sometimes lie. Using self-referential reasoning, along with earlier techniques, we can regard both the truth-tellers and liars as reliable and thus the tackle situations when fewer than half the processors are truth-tellers.
