Okay. What about this?

The logicians are still numbered 1-13 but this time 1, 7 and 10 have X's.

Round one:
1-9 don't know.
10 uses the same reasoning I had for 13 in the other answer and says, "I have an X and there are more X's."
11-13 all answer "I don't have an X." because if 10 saw an X other than the X on 1 and 12, 10 couldn't have figured out he had an X from them saying they didn't know.

Round two:
1-6 still don't know.
7 uses the same reasoning I had for 12 in the other answer and says, "I have an X and there are more X's"
8 and 9 decide that 7 would only know he had an X if the only X he saw was on 1, since 1 still didn't know even though 1 was the only X 7 saw and 10 said there were more X's. So 8 and 9 decide they don't have X's.

Round three:
1 doesn't see an X but 7 said there were more so he answers,"I have an X and there are no more X's."
2-6 answer, " I don't have an X."

Exactly!

Pretty simple once you get it, but it's insanely hard to figure out. =P

Your trapped in a dungeon with two doors, two men, and a sleeping dragon. One door is the way of escape, the other wakes up the dragon. One man always tells he truth, and the other only lies. The dragon is on a spell so that it will sleep unless it has been one day after someone (other than the truth teller and the liar) have been throne into the dungeon, or the person opens the death door, or the person says (one again, besides the two men who are already there) something that is not a question, or the person asks more than one question. The doors are perfectly identical and so are the men. What should you ask one of the men (any one) to know what door to go through?

“If I asked the other man, which door would he tell me is the way of escape?”
Whichever door he points to, go through the other one.

Good riddle! Got me to think for a bit. :)

An other answer is to ask one of them "What door would you say, if I asked you, is the escape door" That way whichever door they point to would be the door you DO go in.

thinks Hey, yeah, that DOES work too! It didn't sound like it did! That's funny. xP
