Puzzling Asked by Mariia Mykhailova on October 1, 2020
Three evil queens, accompanied by their magic mirrors, go for a girls’ night out. At some point of the night they decide to finally settle the eternal question: who’s the fairest of them all? Of course, the best way to do that is to ask the mirrors! But nothing is ever easy, especially if by this time none of the queens is quite sure which of the mirrors is theirs, and no mirror is crazy enough to tell any evil queen that she’s not the fairest…
The queen’s mirrors look identical but have different approaches to answering the questions: one of them always tells the truth, another always lies, and the third one will tell the truth to the owner and lie to anyone else. The queens decided that each of them will ask each of the mirrors one question, and they’ll use the answers to figure out who owns each mirror and who is the fairest of them all.
Here are the questions they came up with, and the mirrors’ answers to them.
And here is a "checksum" for the answer: if you got all connections right, you’ll get the name you’re looking for.
So, who’s the fairest of them all?
Truthfulness: T(ruth), L(ies), F(aithful)
Let's start with Mirror 3. It
With only 2 truthfulness options left, Mirror 1
And with that, Mirror 2
Summary of findings so far:
With our good friend the checksum (thanks for that, OP!), here's what we get.
So this is where I'm scratching my head. If I go by the connections being the letters to look at, I get
And if the lines are strike outs, I get
Based on a comment from Exal and clarified by athin, using the strikeout method, you can simply read the name
