Let say three gods are A, B and C.  Ask B a question.  If I ask you if A is random will you say ′ja′.  If B is True or False.      Response ′ja′ will imply ′A′ is random.      Response ′da′ will imply ′A′ is not random.  So if B answer ′ja′ either B or A is random.       ⇒ C is not random.  So if B answer ′da′ either B is random       or if B is not random then A is not random.      ⇒A is not random.  Next 2 question to the god identified to be  not random (true or false)  Q1. If I ask you if A is True  will you say ′ja′.     Response ′ja′ will imply A is True.     Response ′da′⇒ A is false.  Q2. If I ask you if B is random will you say ′ja′.  These 2 questions along with the first question  will establish the identities.

Writing a few cases for first question to B.  If B is false, ja means no.  If A is random       B answer to question ′is A random′ is ja.       But the question asked is will you say ′ja′.       So B answer to combined question will       be ′ja′.  If A is not random.       B answer to question ′is A random′ is da.       But the question asked is will you say ′ja′.       So B answer to combined question will       be ′da′.  If you list all cases you will realize because  there is embedded question. False will need  to gives false answer twice making False′s answer  same as True′s answer.  So the first question can be used to filter  out random.
