Sonu will asks Martin the following: "I have the number 1 or 2 in mind. Is the number that you have in mind larger than the number I have in mind?"
The answer "yes" means that Martin has the number 3 in mind,
The answer "I don't know" means 2,
The answer "no" means 1.

The answer "yes" means that Martin has the number 3 in mind,
The answer "I don't know" means 2,
The answer "no" means 1.

Why would he say I don't know if the number is two. He can also say 'No' since 2 is not greater than 2 ...

Another approach - " If you subtract two from the number, do you get a positive number?

If yes, the number is three
If no, the number is 1
If Don't Know, means number is 2, since zero is neither positive nor negative.
