The Hardest Logic Puzzle Ever

I usually post logic and math puzzles in the Easy Math Puzzles thread, but this one merits its own. Here is the Wikipedia wording:

Quote:

Three gods A, B, and C are called, in no particular order, True, False, and Random. True always speaks truly, False always speaks falsely, but whether Random speaks truly or falsely is a completely random matter. Your task is to determine the identities of A, B, and C by asking three yes–no questions; each question must be put to exactly one god. The gods understand English, but will answer all questions in their own language, in which the words for yes and no are da and ja, in some order. You do not know which word means which.

I hesitate to give a link because it explains an answer.

I'd add to that wording you can't ask the true or false god a paradoxical question. The random god will not even listen to the question but answer "yes" or "no" randomly when you fishing speaking.

An easier version of this has recently been asked in the Easy Math Puzzles thread, in which the question of language was omitted.

There are many possible solutions.

The question for the poll is what are your thoughts?

Where's the box for "I've seen harder logic puzzles"?

The hardest one I can think of is The Riddle of Dracula, in Raymond Smullyan's book What Is the Name of This Book?

Sorry to see this problem didn't get much traction. I have been working on it for days. Here is my 9-page solution (PDF).

I think its requiring 9 pages and days (and for you, who probably work more concisely than most of us) might be the reason! Reminds me of exams I took where you will fill up a blue book with each derivation.

With puzzles like that it's never clear to me how many logical elements I can have per question, and how to phrase them in English and not Boolean notation. Like: "If I were to ask god A if god C is a liar, and da means yes in English, or if you answer randomly, would his answer allow me to eliminate two possibilities for the solution?"

Since it's in a book that is still in print, I don't feel it's right to break the author's copyright on it.
