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.

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

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
