The Warden, On A Good Day
It is Sunday morning, when the Warden makes the following announcement over the prison loudspeaker system:
"The 4 prisoners, locked in cells 1,2,3 & 4, will be executed next Sunday at exactly 1:00,2:00,3:00 & 4:00 pm. Schedule shall be random .."
The 4 prisoners, while having their final breakfast outside the cells, were informed that they all must guess, before taken out of their cells : Who is 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th to hang ? in order to be pardoned by the warden.
But any communication among them forfeits their chance of survival.
One of the prisoners told the others that he have observed,every 12 noon, the 4 white pigeons that always feeds on bread crumbs he places on his cell's window sill. And they can be caught if wanted to. That's how he finds out there are 2 females among those birds..
After a brief planning they pocketed some bread and returned to their cells where they were asked to draw stick for the time of their own execution..
What is their scheme to get out alive and free?

ABC are TLR in some order, to be found.
Here's the method, step by step. Q1 identifies R. Q2 identifies T.
Ask A Q1. If Red
then ask B Q1. If Red
then C is R. Ask A Q2. If Red
then TLR. 3 questions.
else LTR. 3 questions.
else B is R. Ask A Q2. If Red
then TRL. 3 questions.
else LRT. 3 questions.
else A is R. Ask B Q2. If Red
then RTL. 2 questions.
else RLT. 2 questions.

I don't understand that at all.
If the light comes on red you only know that the robot has answered, not whether they answered Y/N so how can the questions possibly identify TLR?

The clue is the first word, which tells you that you need to change the words to alter/slant reality. It's easier if you lay it out on a piece of paper:

Ask Robot #1: "How would Robot #2 answer the question: 'Does 1+1=2'?"
Truth or Liar would respond with a White light if Robot #2 is Random, or a Red light if Robot #2 is Not Random. So ask your next two questions to Robot #2 if the answer was Red, and to Robot #3 if the answer was White. You can be sure that you're not talking to Random with the next question.
Robotic Enigma
If you asked that first question to the Random robot then it doesn't matter how he answered: since your next questions will not be directed to the robot you were initially talking to anyway, you will still be sure that you're not talking to the Random robot.
Second question (to Robot #2 if the first response was Red, or to Robot #3 if the first response was White): "How would Robot #1 answer the question: 'Does 1+1=2'?"
If the answer is White, then Robot #1 is Random. If the answer is Red, then Robot #1 is Truth or Liar and therefore the robot you haven't talked to yet is Random. Now you know who Random is, and you just need identify one of the other two robots.
Third question (to the same robot you asked the second question to): "Are both of the following statements true? A) You would answer 'Does 1+1=2?' with a 'Yes'. B) The Random robot would answer 'Does 1+1=2?' with a 'Yes'."
The Liar knows that A is not true, and therefore regardless of the outcome of B he knows that it's impossible for both statements to be true. So to answer the entire question, he would lie about it and reply with a "Yes" to produce a Red light.
The Truth teller would know that A is true but cannot answer B, so he cannot answer the question of whether both A and B are true. So Truth would reply with a White light.
Truth or Liar would respond with a White light if Robot #2 is Random, or a Red light if Robot #2 is Not Random. So ask your next two questions to Robot #2 if the answer was Red, and to Robot #3 if the answer was White. You can be sure that you're not talking to Random with the next question.
