so it turns out we can just do a basic analysis to figure out which one to open so let's look at this one so let's pretend that this one is false for a second so if this one is false that means that neither of these two statements is true so then that means that this one's not true as well so this crate does not have poison in it and you should drink whatever is inside which is elixir of life so now let's pretend that this is true now if this is true then that means that one of these two inscriptions is true and this one is true so this one must be false so that means this is not have poison in it either this one has the elixir of life so either way you should drink out of the bottle that's in this crate that says this has the poison which is pretty ironic
