To determine the identities of the gods A, B, and C, you could ask the following three questions:
"If I asked you whether C is Random, would you say 'da'?"
"If I asked you whether A is False, would you say 'da'?"
"If I asked you whether B is True, would you say 'da'?"
Here's how you can use the answers to these questions to determine the identities of the gods:
If the first god answers "da" to the first question, then C is Random.
If the second god answers "da" to the second question, then A is False.
If the third god answers "da" to the third question, then B is True.
If any of the gods answer "ja" to their respective question, then the opposite is true. For example, if the first god answers "ja" to the first question, then C is not Random.
Using this method, you can determine the identities of the gods with three questions.
