Can you solve the three gods riddle? - Alex Gendler


You and your team have crash-landed on an ancient planet. Can you appease the three alien overlords who rule it and get your team safely home? Created by logician Raymond Smullyan, and popularized by his colleague George Boolos, this riddle has been called the hardest logic puzzle ever. Alex Gendler shows how to solve it.

Experienced Teachers

Our goal is to use our love of teaching to foster a love of learning in our students. Our preschool teachers have an average of ten years' experience in the classroom. They've seen trends in early education shift over the years, but understand the need to focus on educating the whole child and how to do that. In addition to the teacher, each preschool classroom has a minimum of one teaching assistant. Our prekindergarteners also visit weekly with the librarian, technology specialist, music teacher and physical education instructor.
