Im not sure if my answer breaks this rule , but here goes...
Working left to right: false , random ,truth
1) point blatantly at the first one and ask him "If I ask the middle one , 'am I pointing at him, how would he answer ?"
false couldn't answer this , so we know that middle is random in one question.
2) point blatantly at the first one and ask him "is 2+2=4 "?
he answers No (Ww)
3) point blatantly at the first one and ask him "Does Ww mean yes ?"
he would now switch his answer to Yes "Uu" cos he is a born liar
So in the order
left to right: false , random ,truth .
I can get it in 3
Through years of alcohol abuse my brain has gone fuzzy. Ill try another permutation soon

left to right: random ,truth ,false
1) point blatantly at the first one and ask him "If I ask the middle one , 'am I pointing at him, how would he answer ?"
2) point blatantly at the first one and ask him "If I ask the RHS one , 'am I pointing at him, how would he answer ?"
If he answers both times , that makes him random.
3) point blatantly at the middle one and ask him "is 2+2=4 "?
he answers Yes (Ww)
4) point blatantly at the middle one and ask him "Does Ww mean yes ?"
he would NOT switch his answer .
So left to right: random ,truth ,false
I can get it in 4
I think this thread now needs locking , bring on the green boxes.
