This work addresses a niche problem for philosophers and logicians, presenting an incremental modification to an existing puzzle.

The authors tackled the challenge of modifying 'The hardest logic puzzle ever' by eliminating part of the available information while still enabling a solution, resulting in insights into the logic of discovering unknown languages.

"The hardest logic puzzle ever" presented by George Boolos became a target for philosophers and logicians who tried to modify it and make it even tougher. I propose further modification of the original puzzle where part of the available information is eliminated but the solution is still possible. The solution also gives interesting ideas on logic behind discovery of unknown language.
