I had this puzzle in a notebook from a while ago, came across it yesterday and solved it.
The version of the puzzle I was given they don't have feathers they are sitting in a circle in thrones numbered 1, 2 and 3, and you have to ask each Chief the same question (so asking one chief multiple questions is out), it has to be a yes/no question so none of the "answer only if your ...". AND I managed to solve it by asking only two of the three Chiefs.
The version I was given:
You arrive on an island that has three tribes: the Truthies who must always tell the truth, the Falsies who must always lie, and the Unpredictables who can say what ever they want. In order to continue on your quest you need to figure out which tribe is which. You are taken to a tent where the Chief from each tribe is sitting in a circle, we'll say in thrones numbered 1, 2 and 3. They are busy so you only get to ask each Chief one yes/no question, the same yes/no question. AND even though they understand your "pig snout language", as one of the locals put it, they refuse to speak it. So they will answer DA or JA, their words for yes and no BUT you don't know which means which.
What question do you ask to find out which Chief is from which tribe.
Can you do it asking only 2 of the 3 Chiefs?
