Dustin Timbrook
My name is Dustin Timbrook and I'm an artist working in Huntsville, Alabama. I have a studio in a big, century-old factory space called Lowe Mill that has been converted into work space for dozens of local artists. Last year I quit my day job as a high school art teacher to move into my studio space and make a living off of art alone. It hasn't been easy, but I'm doing alright and I'm doing what I love for a living, so I have no complaints.
I've been drawing, painting, sculpting, and making music and videos since I was a tiny kid. I studied painting at the University of Montevallo, mostly working in oil. Lately though I have been hooked on painting with watercolors, and my work has become very vibrant and lighthearted. I usually work in a stream-of-consciousness manner, making things up and adding to an artwork as I go along - like incredibly detailed doodling. The little vignettes that I paint usually start with a human or animal figure and I build from there. I decide what characters, objects, and environments to add as the scene develops. Leaving the end result of a piece a mystery keeps the painting process fresh and exciting for me. Plus, it results in my paintings being absurd and comical, which is my favorite kind of work to create. I have a website to display, write about, and sell my work.
The videos got people in a frenzy about my show, and a lot of people came to help me shoot the final promo before the event. This video was shot at Lowe Mill, the old factory where my studio is located.
Since then I've been using video and social media to publicize just about everything I do.
If you want to see more of my work, read about what I'm working on now, or buy some prints or postcards, check out my website. I keep it up to date with all of my work, and sometimes I even use the site itself as a medium for crazy art experiments that you can be a part of.

The internet has been a priceless tool in promoting and marketing my work. Last year I started making funny promo videos to publicize my first solo art show and it worked like a charm (it didn't hurt that they included a super-cute puppy)The videos got people in a frenzy about my show, and a lot of people came to help me shoot the final promo before the event. This video was shot at Lowe Mill, the old factory where my studio is located.

If you ask all three guardians "How would chaos answer the question 'is chaos telling the truth today?' ", then you will always get Y, Y, N. N will be the Knave. And this will also tell you which of Ja/Da is yes.
If only you had one more question to ask the Knave which of the other two was Chaos...
Of course you might get lucky and hit an N in the first two Guardians you question; but that's not a solution.
Only one
So, the first question is "Are you a liar." All three will answer no to that, so you know what the word for "no" is. Second question, "Will person number 2 tell me that person number 3 is a liar?" If the answer is yes then chaos is a truth teller, if the answer is no then chaos is a liar. The next question is "will person number 2 tell me that person number 3 wants me to go this way?" If chaos is a truth teller then yes means that's the bad way, no means it's the good way. If chaos is a liar then yes is good, no is bad.
WHAT... is your quest?
WHAT... is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

if you ask "does ja (or da, doesn't matter which one) mean no?", and the person answers with the same word, then they're lying, so you'd be able to tell who the knight or the knave is by seeing which one is the "odd one out"
here's why:
If ja meant no, and the person answered with ja, then they'd be lying, because they'd either be:
A) saying "yes", which, if you think about it, would contradict itself, or
B) saying "no", which also would contradict itself (by saying "no", they're confirming the question, while at the same time negating it)
either way the person is lying. There will be two "knaves" or two "knights" when you ask the question to all three. Whoever is left out is the true knight or knave.
Ja=yes Knight Knave Chaos (truthful)
Are you Chaos? da ja ja
Does Ja = yes? ja da ja
Does Da = No? ja da ja
Ja=yes Knight Knave Chaos (lies)
Are you Chaos? da ja da
Does Ja = yes? ja da da
Does Da = No? ja da da
Ja=No Knight Knave Chaos (truthful)
Are you Chaos? ja da da
Does Ja = yes? ja da ja
Does Da = No? ja da ja
Ja=No Knight Knave Chaos (lies)
Are you Chaos? ja da ja
Does Ja = yes? ja da da
Does Da = No? ja da da
So if one answers the same for all 3 questions while the other two answer different for 1 & 2 then the one that answered all the same is chaos and Ja is yes, then you know who knight and Knave are.
If two answer the same for all three then the one that didn't is Chaos and Ja is no and the one that agreed with Chaos on question 2 is Knight.
Anybody see anything wrong in the logic?
If two answer the same for all three then the one that didn't is Chaos and Ja is no and the one that said Ja with Chaos on question 2 is Knight.
*********
This took forever to write out the logic in words.
What about knowing what's yes and what's no? And where do you get the part about asking as many questions as you like?
I'm sure the riddle involves the tossing of the coin somehow.
LOL, yes, exactly yes. Excellent.
What fourth path? The path you just came down to reach where they are.
Has anyone actually found a solution?
If A answers “ja”, he’s Chaos. Then ask Guardian B, “If I asked you, “Are you Knight?”, would you say “ja”?”. The answer is “ja” if B is Knight, and either way the problem is now solved.
If A answers “da”, he’s either Knight or Knave. So ask him instead, “If I asked you, “Are you Knight?”, would you say “ja”?” If the answer is “ja” he’s Knight; otherwise he is Knave.
So, now, ask him “If I asked you, “Is guardian B Chaos”, would you say “ja”?” If he answers “ja”, B is Chaos, and C is the opposite of A. If he answers “da” then C is Chaos and B is the opposite of A.
