一些逻辑训练的谜题：娜塔莎、十二点钟和茶
我的同事，娜塔莎喜欢小孩子，就给他们出了一些题。而我在十二点钟和娜塔莎闲谈时，总会为她补充一些，而她也觉得这还不错。到了下午，我们一起喝茶时，我们会把饼干放在鸟笼边，猫头鹰则会将其啄成碎片。我们的生活就是这样悠闲地度过的，和这所大学里的本科生的终日忙碌仿佛处在两个世界，他们没有心情欣赏校园里的建筑多么有艺术感，也看不见柳树和池塘蕴含着十四行诗——就算你不是莎士比亚也可以发现——只等着被抓出来和记录下来，但我们是刚好反过来的。
在这里，我会归纳一些我们设计的，助益于逻辑能力的谜题。

>>That's awesome, you are really familiar with slavi...
Certainly. Let me know what you think of this alternative solution:
Step 1: Word Frequency
3 nie
3 mleko
3 lew
3 jest
2 y
2 wod
2 ryba
2 pije
2 kaczka
2 bia
1 lubi
1 je
Given the only possible fragments that contain negation:
狮子不是（）
水不是（）
（）不喝牛奶
One of the words that appeared 3 times (nie, mleko, lew, and jest) must negate the sentence and mean no/not.
Step 2: Finding the negator (suppose I have no insight into any language).
nie:
wodę nie jest biały
lew nie jest kaczka
lew nie pije mleko
mleko:
ryba lubi mleko
mleko jest biały
lew nie pije mleko
lew:
lew je ryba
lew nie jest kaczka
lew nie pije mleko
jest:
wodę nie jest biały
lew nie jest kaczka
mleko jest biały
Given the fragments:
狮子—不—是—（）
水——不—是—（）
（）—不—喝—牛奶
The negator must be followed or preceded by a verb "是" twice, and the third sentence must have a different verb "喝."
Furthermore, all three sentences have the same length and contain four words: subject, negator, verb, and object.
* Note: the milk sentence could have 5 words as cow and milk could be separate. But the point was moot because there weren't any 5-word sentences in the given problem.
Hence, the "nie" pattern is the only fit.
Step 3: Pairing the negative sentences.
nie:
wodę nie jest biały
lew nie jest kaczka
lew nie pije mleko
狮子—不—是—（）
水——不—是—（）
（）—不—喝—牛奶
Looking for a 2 + 1 pattern of verbs to decode which is "to be" and which is "to drink." For the word that fits the same grammatical position, the one that appeared twice is "to be," and the one that appeared once is "to drink." Then, two combinations emerge:
Possibility A: wodę = to drink; lew = to be.
Possibility B: pije = to drink; jest = to be.
Possibility A is highly unlikely, because, if "wodę" is a verb that means "drink":
kaczka pije wodę
wodę nie jest biały
The verb switches places irregularly and break the sentences.
There are further steps here to falsify Possibility A, which I will omit.
Therefore, we hypothesize Possibility B is the case, "jest" means "to be," and "pije" means "to drink."
Then, "wodę" means water, "lew" means lion, and "mleko" means milk.
At this point, I can return to the path outlines in my previous post to double-check and decode all the sentences by filling the blanks if necessary.
Finally, "mleko" means milk.
