New Question! I bolded the differences from the previous one.
The king wants to marry off his daughter. Three suitors apply -- a logician, politician and a lawyer. The king may ask two of them a yes/no question, for which the suitor must know the answer. The logician always tells the truth. The politician always lies. The lawyer says either randomly. The three men know each other. The king seeks only to avoid choosing the lawyer for his daughter. What question should he ask of the two suitors?
