OP should have posted this part.

Doesn't say what the riddle is though...

Oh, forgot that. The riddle is that you have to pair the three artifacts with the three gods, and those are the rules.

Hmm,
First ask "Are any of these artifacts yours?"
Get yes from Tee and no from Eff, so now you know which is which.
Then I suppose you pick artifact one and two, ask if either of them are yours.
Then take replace one with artifact three, and ask if either of those two are yours.
Then you can figure out based on the answers which is Tee's and which is Eff's, then the remaining one must be Arr's.

Oh ignore me, I just reread the rules, the questions are only to one alien.

It'd be fairly easy to learn what ulu and ozo mean by asking Tee "does three plus four equal 8?", but then you only have 2 questions left, and that's not enough to always determine which artifact belongs to whom (I mean I couldn't come up with a way to determine that through 2 questions, maybe there is one, and then the task is trivial). It seems to me that you have to come up with a scheme where each question asks about the owner of the artifacts, and after asking the three questions, you also learn what ulu and ozo mean.
It seems to me that Tee and Eff are pretty much equally useful, while Arr is absolutely useless, since his random answers carry no information, so I kind of feel like you can get away with asking all questions from Tee, maybe you have to chain them somehow ("would Arr say ... about ... and if so ..."). Rule 6 seems to suggest that you have to base your next questions on the answers you already got.

They say that, then they ask this. I think they're implying that you know which is Tee's artifact etc. but if so they did a bad job of presentation by not making that explicit.
>>
>>9121222
Also, if you don't know which artifact is Tee's etc., then it's insolvable because the first god you ask a question to could be Arr, at which point you still have 6 possible artifact-god pairings and only 4 possible responses to your questions.

TEDEd is crap. Look at this one and see if you can find the mistake in their answer:

Oh shit, so you have to figure out which alien is which, and not which artifact is whose. I wasted like an hour thinking about a possibly unsolvable version of the riddle lmao.
