I don't have any Scouts in my dominion collection.  Every last one of my Scouts is worth 98 VP though, can you say the same? :)

I'd say that the statement, "your Dukes are worth 3 points" technically and literally says that the combined VP value of your Dukes is 3 points, which means that you CANNOT have 0 Dukes.  From the given "correct" answer, that wasn't the meaning meant, but that means the problem was incorrectly stated. ;)

"Your Dukes are worth 3 points" can mean a number of things. It can mean the value of all Dukes combined (making the three-Duke solution right), but also that each Duke is worth 3 VP.
In this case, you can either translate it "For all X goes: If X is yours and X is a Duke, it follows that X is worth 3 points" or the same plus "there exists an Y that is yours and a Duke"
In the first case, the implication is true by default if you have no Dukes, in the second it is false by default in this case.

I would suggest to read it the first way.

Hint: There's decidedly no Hamlet.

Some easy puzzles that came to me during my sleep (hey, gotta do something !) :

* I actually succeeded in getting $9 on turn 3. How? (of course with shuffle luck).
* Can anyone find other ways that would gain a Province on turn 3 (haven't been able to find any) ?
* I got the card (and NOT a copy) that I bought on turn 1 back in my hand on turn 2 ! What trick did I use here ?

1.) With a Nomad Camp and Fool's Gold on the board and you deck stacked like this: cccce cceec, you can buy the Nomad Camp on turn 1, two Fool's Gold on turn 2 and draw the Nomad Camp, both Fool's Gold and two Coppers on turn three.
2.) With Baker, Throne Room and Death Chart in the kingdom you can get 13 on turn 3 by buying Throne Room and Death Chart on the first two turns and draw them together with 3 Coppers on turn 3. Without the Throne Room and the Baker, you can get nine on turn 3 by just drawing the Death Chart and 4 Coppers.
Just with a Baker on the board you can start Silver/Silver and use a coin token on turn three with ssccc in hand.

3.) See answer number 1.

Agree with all your responses. Btw : you can change point 2 to 10 I just realized. Thx Pneumatiker.
For 3, I had something else in mind :-)

You can always buy doctor for 4, trash the top card, then draw doctor for turn 2.  (even better chances if you buy doctor for 5 on your first turn trashing two cards)

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

You can even gain a prize on turn 3 (and on turn 2 with enough players helping you).

Yeah, the player 3 who opened Remodel/nothing and got passed player 1's turn 2 Province from player 2's Throne Room/Masquerade can.

Wait, how can Player 1 gain a Province on turn 2? Don't you need an additional player to buy Noble Brigand before player 1's turn?

And you can even Remodel a Province into a Province on turn 2. Just replace "Tournament" by "Remodel" in this solution (and replace "shows province, gains prize" by "trashes Province, gain Province")
