That isn't going to be 100%. What will be better is to let the knives sit out for some time and see who's knife draws flies.
EDIT: Didn't read the original riddle. Unless all three attracted flies even that wouldn't be 100%.
A man lives in a plain house. He hears a noise, looks South, hears nothing. Hears the same noise, looks South, sees nothing. Hears the same noise, looks South, sees nothing. Hears it once more, looks South, and sees a bear. What color is the bear?

Three men go to a cheap motel, and the desk clerk charges them a sum of $30.00 for the night. The three of them split the cost ten dollars each. Later the manager comes over and tells the desk clerk that he overcharged the men, since the actual cost should have been $25.00. The manager gives the bellboy $5.00 and tells him to give it to the men. The bellboy, however, decides to cheat the men and pockets $2.00, giving each of the men only one dollar.
Now each man has paid $9.00 to stay for the night, and 3 x $9.00 = $27.00. The bellboy has pocketed $2.00. But $27.00 + $2.00 = $29.00. Where is the missing $1.00?

Let's see. The men pay $10 each. $30 is with the clerk, $0 is with the bellboy, and $0 is with the men. Bellboy recieves $5, so $25 is with clerk, $5 with bellboy, and $0 with men. Bellboy pockets $2, so $25 is with the clerk, $2 with the bellboy, and $3 with the men. 2 + 25 + 3 = $30. THERE IS NO MISSING DOLLAR.
