Guest Zeh Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 [color=003399]I have a solution. First i'd ask which 2 roads he'd point me too. Then, i'd know one that leads to death. I'd grab the man and drag him down one of the remaining roads, ahead of me. If he lived, i'd take that road, if he died i'd take the other. [size=1]Violence solves everything. Peroid.

The Unholy Newt Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I don't think many people get the question. The man wants to know who you would pick to go down the road with you, your son or your daughter. You have to pick one and leave the other behind. ~TUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Chicken Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I would let them both die... That way, I would go with a **** conscience, but niether of my children would have a siblings blood on their hands... [size=3]Ok that was my serious answer[/size] Now, for my stupid answer! I would punch that stupid prick in the face for asking such a stupid question and for threataning to kill my children which I don't have. Then I would follow him home, and burn his house down.

Dan L Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I'd pick neither, then say "before you point to a road, bear in mind that you are going first..." but seriously.. I actually don't see how there's a right answer to this.. however, the guy never said the son or daughter was actually going to die. The question was purely hypothetical. From what I gather you're on your own (ie your son and daughter aren't there, if you have any) and a guy appears and says he'll show you the right way if you answer a hypothetical question correctly. And since it's a purely hypothetical question (within another hypothetical question.. heh). Things like "I don't want kids" don't even apply. If I follow logic.. Assuming you can't have more kids afterwards (dunno why.. maybe in an accident you became impotent or something).. the son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonstar Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 :D This remids me of something one of my friends told me, as for who I'd pick, um.... My son.. no.. daughter.. eh.. I dunno. I didn't even get the question, how is there a right r wrong answer here..!? :whoops: :D Just a thought... You answer his question, then you ask him if you got the question right or not, after he points to a road, even if you got i wrong, it increases yur chances... I have no idea.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittyLynn Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 [COLOR=deeppink]Please just tell us the answer. We are all going to be wrong anyways...Well most likely..^_^[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichire Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 uh----- in this situation, i'd answer daughter, and if the old man told me the wrong way to go, well, i might have died n-e wayz, so at least i might still have that chance to live...ne? *_* gods.... that must be horibilly wrong..... ~nichi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amorphous Posted March 10, 2003 Author Share Posted March 10, 2003 ok I said there was 2 answers, but I never said the 2 answers were wrong and right. They were actually both wrong. So everyone that answered is wrong, the correct answer would of been to say nothing, because there is no correct answer to the question. (actually Lady Macaiodh you are right and cloricus I have no idea what your answer is so you should tell us if thats what your answer was) This riddle also teaches you something as well. It teaches you that you should be prepared for the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treton_noir Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 jumping jimmy on a pogo-stick. that is one of the stupidest things ive ever read. there is no logic in this "riddle". it cant have an answer like that. honestly, i think you just made it up. you need to take some more time and put some logic into it. "be prepared for the worst..." give me a friggin break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychotik Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 I wouldn't answer the question, I'd just turn around and head back the way I came, I mean what is the point in risking your life just to walk down some road? Reverence-out>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cora Jane 2 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 [font=arial][size=1]I agree with treton_noir. No logic... and personally I don't really look at this as a riddle... just a random question that means jack squat... ah well...

Cora Jane 2 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 [font=arial][size=1]How does this riddle teach me anything.... I'm just saying... it isn't really a riddle nor did it make much sense... and I guess I didn't learn ANYTHING from it... it just frustrated me well because it wasn't a riddle.... although it was claimed to be one...[/font][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 i agree... pointless.... stupid... and oddly i agree with harry there. . . *jots THAT one in the record book* I have heard worse but never has one this pointless and stupid come to OB as far as i have seen.. and i have been here since v2 *shakes head* No lesson can be learned from that... I think i would learn more from a rock on the high ridge of my great unckle bowen's mountain... *wonders where that would have went* and i dont even have an uncle who owns a mountain.. this taught me nothing.. but to avoid worthless riddles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Chicken Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Worst..Riddle...Ever...I strongly suggest that anyone who knows the riddle, never pass it on. Dodgy things like that riddle can be stopped by us. So I beg you, keep it to yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marron347 Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 wait a second... okay, the riddle was great, i thought. it just needs a different answer. the answer should be that the two answers two the mans question, like you said, would not be right and wrong. they would be son AND daughter. ...or the answer to the riddle would be not to take any of the roads, just go straight through the forest or whatever.

Frankie Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 that would still somewhat make it a quite pointless riddle.. I mean when i first read it it said "if you had to chose between your son[b][size=3]AND[/size][/b] daughter which would you chose" that kind of question from the begginign makes little sence... if any to begin with.. for it to even seem somewhat like a question it should be "if you had to chose between your son [b] OR [/b] daughter...bleh bleh bleh" so.... a riddle like that cant have a possivle good answer.. im afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 [COLOR=blue][I]I'd have to agree with everyone, the riddle was very misleading and didn't have a good answer. I've found a good riddle, and yes it does have an answer. Seeing how this thread is about riddles, I don't think I can't put it here, but if I'm wrong, then someone can tell me. Some of you may already know this one. "You are walking down a road, when suddenly you are confronted by a strange man. The man says to you 'If you tell the truth, I will kill you with a sword, if you tell a lie, I will kill you with a spell.' What do you say to live?"[/COLOR][/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Asphyxia Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 [color=darkred][size=1]You say "Got your nose," then run away. Or you could say nothing, and run away. Or you could take his sword and say, "Got your nose," and slash him when he tries to kill you with the spell. Or you could take his sword, say "Don't got your nose," and he couldn't kill you because you have the sword. Or you could ignore me...[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treton_noir Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 *sighs* somebody took my nose. *ss-hole nose taker. *pulls out Dungeon Master's guide and blows off dust* you say,"ive got some gold coins in my pocket. may i buy you sword and spell?" you buy his stuff, kill him, and take your money back. um... that doesnt have a question to answer with the required truth or falsehood. how can you answer a question that isnt there?

Dragonstar Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 :D This reminds me of the one my friend told me, but the answer to that one won't help here.. soo... wait a minute, you can't answer this either way.. You could say that you tell the truth, but then, you could be lying.. OR.. You could say that you lie, but if you lied then you woud tell the trth, which you obviously aren't.. see what I mean, I'm goin round in circles here... :whoops: :D I coud tell ya mine if anyone's interested...?:nervous: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
