Dear puzzle, "The will of Allah" is, in Islamic theology, expressed by the word "kismet" (or "kismat"), which derives from the Arabic term "qisma" and the Persian "qismat", both meaning "fate" or "destiny". "Kismet / kismat" is the Turkish form of these words. Please note that the phrase "If Allah wills" is expressed by the Arabic term "inshallah". Tsar Peter III was murdered at the age of 34 in 1764. He was crowned 34 years after his death. As for "The Honest Man" - this is not easy since I do not know about the context in which this question stands. However, I will try to provide a answer to the question whether I can identify The Honest Man: No, it's absolutely impossible. Why that? The solution: Imagine facing two people. One is The Honest Man, one is a liar, but we don't know who is who. If we ask The Honest Man, "Are you a liar?" he will answer "No!" If we ask the liar, he to will also answer, "No!" Both of them, The Honest Man and the liar, will say the same thing. So we don't have a chance to distinguish between them and identify who of the two persons is the honest one.

rated this answer:![]() Pleased with answer to question one but the second answer unclear. Wondered if you could try `The Honest Men`? This is either a name change, pseudonym, nickname or title. |

um. The Honest Men are a soccer team (or football, as it is called everywhere outside of North America) in the Scottish Leagues. http://msn.skysports.com/skysports/article/0,,6310-1045588,00.html has a listing of the people who played for the Scottish cup last March, to wit for Ayr, the Honest Men: "Nelson, Hughes, Craig, Duffy (McEwan 57), Robertson, McGinlay, Wilson, Sheerin, Lovering, Crabbe (Kean 77), Grady (Sharp 90). Subs Not Used: Scally, Dodds." As to the logical problem Scriptor posited above was what you were looking for, I'd like to point out that if one man is always truthful and one man always lies, you can find out which is which by asking either "Would the other person say that you are honest?" Think it through: A always true B always false Ask A: is B a liar? yes ask B: is A a liar? yes Ask A: Would B say you are a truthteller? B would not even though A is, so A would say no because that's the truth Ask B: Would A say you are a truthteller? A would not because B isn't, so B would say yes because that's the lie . bookface-ga |

Hey The honest Man means that person who say only the truth. In old arabic culture, Saying only a lie that means peolpe will not trust you any more. If some one "never" said a lie in his all life, they call him "the honest man". Also, the most famous "honest Man" in arabia is Muhammed "the prophet because he never said a lie in both before and after the peroid of being a prophet. Hope my Comment help yaa |
