Source abstract

In his New Pathways in Science (p. 121) Sir Arthur Eddington propounds the following problem “If A, B, C, D each speak the truth once in three times (independently), and A affirms that B denies that C declares that D is a liar, what is the probability that D is speaking the truth ?” and he has dealt with it further in the Mathematical Gazette for October 1935.
