I would check the [b], which should have either 100 gold coins, or 100 silver coins, according to the predicate.
If it has 100 gold coins, problem solved. If it has 100 silver coins, the gold coins are in the '100 silver soins' labelled chest.
I never finish anyth

Ask ChestA what ChestB would answer if you asked it which one held all the gold.

I would take a coin from the one labeled '50 gold, 50 silver'. The label is wrong, so it must be a chest with either all gold or all silver.
If I get a gold coin, then I have already found the right chest.
If I get a silver coin, then the chest with '100 gold' must be the one with 50 gold and 50 silver, leaving only the chest with '100 silver' to have the 100 gold coins. it can't be the other way around or else the label '100 gold' would be true.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Open the chest that says 50 gold / 50 silver. If this contains a gold coin, this is the chest. If it contains a silver coin, it is the chest that says 100 silver coins that contain the 100 gold coins.

if label-50:50 has gold coin then it can be 100g or 100s both options meet false labelling rule
- option 100s is not valid - gold coin is proof
if label-50:50 has silver coin then it can be 100g or 100s both options meet false labelling rule
- option 100g is not valid - silver coin is proof

If you take a gold coin from the 50\50 then it has to be all gold - the only possible contents are 100g and 50\50 but the labels are wrong and as it is labelled 50\50 it has to be all gold, so problem solved.
If the 50\50 has a silver it must be all silver for the same reason. If the 50\50 is really all silver then the box with silver label must be wrong...the box labelled silver can't be all silver so must be all gold or 50\50....however if it is 50\50 then that means the box labelled gold is really all gold which can't be true as the labels are wrong. So the box labelled gold must be 50\50, the box labelled 50\50 must be silver and the box labelled silver must be gold, so problem solved.

I actually said what Haakon and you said

I would substitute coins for bottles of gin. Then skip the whole challenge as I know all chests will already be empty.
|
|
|
|

I would look around - and I would not give before I find the chest labeled DD.

It's the chest labeled "beware of the leopard".

Should I post so soon? (I *think* I have it)

No, if you want to win you could post it and immediately delete the message: that way the OP receives a e-mail with your answer but the game is still open.

Bad idea.
That way, it's possible that other can see the post fro a while - due to caching in the server farm - and if someone else gets it there is no proof that he "won".
Either enter, or don't - if you think you have solved it but aren't in the office the next working day then a "private message" to the setter that never appears in the forum is ok.

If you think you have it - and you can set the CCC on Monday - then post it!
There is no "lower time limit" on posts in the rules, just a maximum time in which it needs to be solved.

Dammit....so much stress!!!
It's "Apprehensive" (anagram of even sapphire), isn't it?
Yes, I will set something Monday morning for you (BTW, are there any specific rules about setting clues?)
Sometimes, it just is, OK!

pkfox says it is, so you are up Monday!
I'm looking forward to seeing some "new blood" written ones - good luck (they are harder to write than you think, I find)
