So rather than puzzles that involve trying to shoo away pigeons with a balloon version of Frost, it's like Shivers or 7th Guest or 11th Hour in which you literally solve puzzles like "reverse the positions of these 4 knight pieces on this odd shape of cardboard in 40 moves or less". Yeah, I can get into that.
Personally I wish all society interacted in that fasion.
3 gods appear before you. They will answer any yes or no question and understand your language perfectly. One will always answer truthfully. Another always lies. The last always answers in a random fasion, in that it will randomly decide to tell you a truthful answer or a false answer. They are lined up as 1, 2, and 3, and which one is which is determined randomly before you meet them. They will answer your yes/no questions only in their own language, which consists of "ba" and "ja", but you don't know which one means yes or no. Figure out their identities in 3 questions.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
