The full setup is that they can both tell you about the setup, but for the One Question, they follow the rules stipulated. Neither is actually bound to always lie and always tell the truth outside of the One Question.

To actually make it a puzzle, the trick is that you get only one question. Ever.

I’ve been using TickTick for a while now. It syncs with my Android phone and work computer pretty cleanly. It handles notifications, recurring tasks, skipping a task until the next time, habits tracked differently than tasks, etc. I don’t use the premium stuff and it doesn’t have ads in it. So, it’s free for me.

I’ve got a keyboard shortcut on my computer ,so I can quickly add new items on the fly. The entry has basic language parsing to pick out the date and things. I can just enter “every monday check the mail #life” and it’ll set up and tag the task automatically.

I’m working on finding good ways to make sure that I actually follow my to-do at work instead of latching on to the top item and getting lost on it for the whole day, but it’s working for now.

I set my wife’s phone up with the MyTherapy app. I like (and she hate-likes) that it has its own notification rules separate from the built-in alarms, so her meds notifications are set to make noise every 5 minutes until she actively dismisses it (usually once she’s actually gotten around to taking what she needs to take). Doesn’t always work, but tends to work. I haven’t tried messing with the refill reminders; I should look into that for her.
