Amorphous Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 I have a riddle for you all that I thought was pretty neat, and if you know how it works then don't tell anybody. Imagine you have no idea where you are, there is three raods in front of you. Two of those roads lead to death, one leads to freedom. A man appears and says he knows the right road. So you believe and ask him which one is the right one, but he ask you a question if you get it right then you will be lead down the right path. The question he asked was this. "There are only 2 answers to this question, with the correct answer I will point to the correct road, if the wrong answer I will point to the false one. The question is. If you are in situation where you have to pick between your son and daughter which one would you pick?" Now then people take time to consider the answer, because if this was real life it would be death that would await you.
Amorphous Posted March 9, 2003 Author Posted March 9, 2003 just answer, you will find out once I decide to tell you.
Alexa Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 [size=1]I'd pick my daughter I guess, If I had one. I don't know O.o[/size]
Angelus_Necare Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 I'd say my daughter.... and if it's the wrong answer where I head down the road of death than all the better! :D
Pressure Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 [color=purple]Hmm.. -ponder- Can you go a bit mroe in depth in this question? For example, if it was to save the life of my child, I would not be able to choose, I would sacrifice myself. If it was to have my child help me lift a piece of furniture, I'd choose my son. Then again, I'm never having children. But for me to answer this question, I need more details.[/color]
Guest cloricus Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Pressure, (double post) and that?s not the question. Think latterly(sp?). You don't need any of that information. Think out side your circle. The answer, if I've worked it out correct is very simple. Eps - I have a cool fan, do you?
Walnut Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 I would pick the daughter for a very simple reason. If you pick a son you only carry on the family name of elliot, smith etc, but a duaghter although she will change her name in time but the daughter continues on life by giving birth to the next child. Well that's my theory on it... But then again whichever one you take will lead to to death in the end. I'm confused now????
Amorphous Posted March 9, 2003 Author Posted March 9, 2003 Pressure, you can go as much depth as you want into the question. Cloricus, you might have the right answer, But I don't what your answer is, plus if you do think you know don't say anything.
Braidless Baka Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Hmm... I'm going for the "sacrifice myself" thing... Since, if I had two children, I really couldn't choose and there'd be no point asking me to... But *pauses thoughtfully* that defeats the purpose doesn't it... I guess I'd just sacrifice neither of my children and chance it without the dude's help... [b]If you are in situation where you have to pick between your son and daughter which one would you pick?[/b] But then... are we picking them for a bad thing...? *ponders* ooooh you've set me thinking now...
Lady Macaiodh Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 [color=darkblue]I guess I'd just refuse to answer. [spoiler]I don't know if this gives anything away, but the options don't match. Three roads, only two options as answers. [/spoiler][/color]
Mei Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Hm.....this is certainly confusing. I'm going to have to think this out, I'm not even sure if I understand the basic question. I want to know the asnwer though.>>
TheShinje Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 I would ask him what the secon option was, I gather that if he said pick between your son and daughter, it seems to be in context with, your son and daughter OR...." Or maybe I'm just confused o_O
Lady Asphyxia Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 [color=darkred]If there are three roads and two choices, I'm going to choose the third choice. I'll go with...kill them both. At least, I think that's what it is. Or is it kill neither? o.O I'm confused...[/color]
gohan34 Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Kill neither. Nor kill yourself. That way you live on in some form of the afterlife together .....
KittyLynn Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 I would sacrifice myself. Your going to die anyways...But in this case the odds are on the deaths side. So what's the chance of living...Thats my two cents.^_^
Cora Jane 2 Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 [font=arial][size=1] Here's my comment. There's three roads... and you need to pick from two choices... that doesn't work out.[/font][/size]
Sara Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 [size=1]Heh, I think I've got it. Unless I completely missed what the point was. :p[/size]
Guest cloricus Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 No, you don't get it. If you answer right the man will point to the one right road. If you answer incorrectly he will point to one of the two wrong roads. ...And the question does not give you the option of sacrificing yourself. Eps - I have a computer.
Mei Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 I still just want to know the answer.Oo You have two choices, but I'd rather it be multiple choice...cause I mean well, you don't exactly choose between your son and daughter do you?Oo *just confused self*Oo
future girl Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 well, um, there's three roads: 2 lead to death 1 leads to freedom what i'm thinking is, it doesn't lead to living as a free person you can die a free man so either way you die **i don't know**
Deedlit Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 [color=009966]Hmmm. Tough one.... May I ask the audience? :toothy:[/color]
Amorphous Posted March 10, 2003 Author Posted March 10, 2003 I'll give you people a little while longer to try and figure it out then I will tell you.
