    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.
