Oz's QUestion of the day #202 (28/1/10)

[OZXJR]

I have one of the numbers 1, 2, or 3 in mind.
You are allowed to ask me one question to find out which of these three numbers I have in mind.
I will answer this question only with the answers "yes", "no", or "I don't know".
What question should you ask me to find out in one go which number I have in mind?

PM answers please.

I found the answer but there's no way it generated out of my own personal gray matter, Mick. Good one! I'll keep playing! :rockon:

Hmmmm that's shady. I would not answer "I don't know" if it WAS 2. I would answer "No" because it isn't higher than 2, it IS 2.
