Nevermind, my solution should be amended so that the third always answers for one or two, but I cannot resolve the condition when the first two answers are the same based on whether or not Chaos is lying.

Ask each person if the third person is Chaos. If the first two answers are the same, ask the third person if the first (or second person) is Chaos. I'm not going to list out all my handwork, but I think that system works.

When I look to the prosperity of a society, I look at whether or not a particular belief is state-endorsed. You can find plenty of government sanctioned atheist states that are hell-holes, just as you can find many nations that are of a variety of faiths that are doing quite well. The amount of religion you see in a society usually correlates with their social progress. Denmark and Sweden sport a high average per-capita income, universal health care, great stance on human rights, etc. etc. The lack of a traditional religious belief correlates with these advances in many nations, but to say that their absence of religion causes them is, forgive my expression, a leap of faith.

Alice, the problem with the Loris is that it is endangered and taken from its native habitat to be sold. Often, some of their teeth are removed to prevent them from biting owners, which also inhibits their eating. They also secret a poison from their elbows which they lick and use in their bites. They also have sharp claws. While it's obvious from the video they can be domesticated, in the end, the trade is hurting an already endangered species.

That's only a problem if we start rounding up cotton factory workers as killers. The bad part of this is that potentially good samples were tainted by the factory worker's DNA.

@Gauldar

It was a joke. I had actual trash bags in mind when I made the comment. It's funny how things can seem useless on the surface. For instance, the pen that writes upside down (but the Russians used a pencil HAHA!)

I'm surprised this didn't already exist given the liquid resisting materials already out there. I'm guessing the novelty of this is both thinness and pliability of the material.

Ah, I can't help but imagine the people who jump off of perfectly functioning bridges would not hesitate in saying "Wow, look! A dirt floor! Move that table out of the way so we can eat off of it!"

@ Shawn, 35.

How is the Earth visible from the moon then? The moon has no atmosphere, yet the light given off (reflected from sun) by the earth is plainly viewable. Moreover, you can see the sun itself from the moon (given you are at the right location and proper time in orbit), where the sun has no atmosphere either. A source of EM radiation is being projected within your field of view, you can see it.

Lasers only slightly bounce off of air. If they did to any measurable extent, the diffusion caused which undermine the use of the beam. Lasers can illuminate smoke, which "reveals the beam" but mainly pass through unreflected. You need a good solid surface to reflect the light for you.

Of course, you wouldn't be able to see the entire beam (we rarely can on earth, and that's why laser shows use smoke), but you could definitely view the light at its source and destination given your field of view permitted it.

"For that matter, you'd never see laser beams in space either, since in a vacuum there's no medium to reveal them. So a real-life laser dog fight in space would be really boring to watch."

Um, what? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this is correct. Lasers are a form of EM radiation, visible to be specific, which require no medium to travel (that's how sun light, UV light, cosmic rays etc. hit earth), so what is meant by "medium to reveal them" ? This statement makes sense in the context of sound, since it requires a medium to vibrate as was stated, but I don't get the comment about lasers.
