OK, I don't know if I can form this into a yes or no to clear this up. It provides an emergency service, but is not a "rescue" vehicle.
We know it's at least sort of a plane, we know it does emergencies, it obviously also does or can do rescues or you wouldn't have answered yes (even if technically incorrect). Is it relevant for us to get more technical than this?
I really don't mind asking more questions about it. Though I have other things running through my mind at the moment. (As soon as I review some answers again.)
I think it's best said that it provides an emergency service. I think that's all you need to think about.
My friend that said no said that because it isn't meant to rescue people.
I feel so dumb right now. :p
Oh hell, don't worry about it. Remember, I know what it's like from that side. In fact, that's why you'll find me asking a lot of "OK, let's clear up what this meant" kind of questions.Quote:

Oh crap, I have to work in 5 minutes. I better paste my questions in and go clock in. (Hopefully it'll be quiet. I mean, why would I want to actually have to work? :D)
Was the man's occupation relevant?
Let's clear this up:
It's relevant that they are a distance from any body of water. But it's not relevant that the lake is specifically 8 miles away? (Going off how you answered Unky's question.)
Was his death an accident?
Did he take his own life?
Did the plane intend on flying to the forest?
Was the man on the plane before he was in the water? (i.e. like he ended up back on the plane again)
Did he know any of the people on the plane?
Did he work with the people on the plane?
Was it the "fall" into the forest that killed him?
Was he actually snorkeling in the lake? Did he intend to snorkel in the lake?
When Unky asked if he got on the plane, you said technically no.
Did you mean technically not really a plane? Did you mean technically he didn't "get on" said plane?
Hmm. He didn't climb a ladder. He wasn't captured. He wasn't tied to the plane. They didn't rescue him. But he didn't get on the plane under his own power. Weird. Something to seriously consider. (I'm sure you're having a good chuckle.)
Let's clear up another one:
When you said he didn't "climb on the plane unnoticed" that you were meaning he didn't "climb" on the plane at all. Is that correct?
So, however he got on the plane, he was noticed?
I think this is a no, but was he injured before he got to the forest?
Was the man's occupation relevant? No

Well, here's one of those "I'm not sure" answers. My guess is I'm thinking too hard about it, but in the end I don't think it's relevant. If I wasn't thinking about all the possibilities I could just say no.Quote:

Work was busy for a while... I'm going to mull over this for a while, and you can go laugh your behind off over it.
Quick one... did anyone on the plane know he was on it (at some point)?
Just as a note... when Unky asked "Did he climb on the plane unnoticed..."
If the man didn't climb on the plane, especially considering he wasn't noticed, that's a good place to say an assumption was made. i.e. It was never established that he climbed on the plane to begin with, so the question can't work. It's especially confusing if one part of the question is incorrect and the other part is correct.
(And I'm not getting on your case... just pointing it out. I think people think I'm being a snot when I just come back and say "assumption made," but there's a good reason for it.)
Did the man know the plane would be flying to the forest?
Did the plane have a reason for going to the water first (and not just because it was enroute to the forest)?
Was the man ever actually inside the body of the plane?
Was anything on fire?
Quick one... did anyone on the plane know he was on it (at some point)? No
Makes sense. I should have used that a couple of times. I feel like many of the questions are so close but I need to change a thing or two. :oQuote:

Was the forest on fire?
Was the man's ending up on the plane accidental?
Was it one of those hydroplane thingys? (Did that get asked?)

I have an idea, but I don't know how it would actually work cause I don't know enough about it, so my explanation is not going to be very technical:
The plane somehow has maybe like something attached like a huge tank sort of thing. (Ha - I'm thinking of the big whale tank in Star Trek IV. :D) And somehow they swoop over or hover over the water and get the tank thingy full of water. And the snorkler happened to be there and got scooped up with the water. Then the water gets dumped on the forest fire and he went with it.
I'll hide the info below in case Unky wants to play.
I googled the subject and found there are several different types of fire fighting planes, including video. They looked different than I had imagined them while doing this puzzle. I was discussing this with my fiance and he wondered if Unky would know about these planes where he lives. I'm thinking he would???
I'm kind of relieved this is over. :D
Okay, time for bed again.
I didn't know about them, so obviously that doesn't make any difference. I knew there was stuff like it, but certainly not specifics. I tried to google it right before I posted that answer and I only read about planes dropping some red stuff, and the water coming from these special helicopters, not planes. But I thought what the heck, it sounds good.
I'd actually thought a long time ago about getting caught in a rope or net or something like that, but couldn't make any sense of what the plane was doing. I was so busy concentrating on the stupid plane that I missed the obvious question of the forest being on fire.
That post looks funny.
So, does this mean you don't like doing this side? I can do another once Unky is done. In fact, this may be good timing for me cause my lighter summer schedule is coming to an end, and I've got just enough time left over to be available to answer questions. After that, I'm not really sure of my availability. And then Adam can do one. :)
By the way, I think no is the best answer to whether he was injured before he fell into the forest. (Though I see what you mean.)
Oh, and yeah for me! Cause I've never actually solved one of these before. (Although I probably could have solved the fish one if it hadn't been done before I got on that day.)
Just for the heck of it, for anyone who wants to jump on it, this is lateral thinking, but is not a yes or no kind. You just have to think about it and find a solution.
You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus
* An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
* An old friend who once saved your life.
* The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Knowing that there can only be one passenger in your car, whom would you choose?
The friend!
I would do one again, but I did feel uncomfortable with some of it. I just wanted to do it right, and was surprised at the difference the wording in a question could make as to how comfortable I was with an answer. Often just a couple of words would throw the question off for me. I tried to go with intent mostly.Quote:

Well, being the romantic that I am, I wouldn't have given up on the perfect partner. However, you can't ignore the old lady who is struggling, so I'd get my friend to drive the old lady home and I'd go make time with the perfect partner... I mean, catch a bus together.
PS - To be honest, my fiancé came up with that answer. I thought it was the perfect solution. :)
Okay - attempt #3 at getting some sleep.
Ah, really, you can only do the best you can do. The wording can be tricky yes. Sometimes I stare at something for quite some time, trying to see if it's true exactly as stated. I take them in context of questions around them, which can tell me what they might be getting at. And I qualify answers a lot. There's occasions when I'm convinced someone's going to kill me over an answer once they get it solved.Quote:

Uh, not really. I've "hosted" more often. I haven't tried solving that many, which is why I wanted to do it. I know how to ask questions, but that doesn't mean the right thing is going to pop in my head. There's also been plenty of times when I've had a good idea, or been close, but someone else solves it.Quote:

That's exactly it. Well, almost - the friend drives the old lady to the hospital. Now this one I solved fairly quickly. I didn't want to give up the perfect partner either. ;)Quote:

You must not sleep very well. That's got to be a real bummer. I don't sleep early, but once I'm asleep, I'm normally out like a light, and hard to wake up.
Darn I missed that last one, I figured it out before I got to the end of this thread but then it was answered. I will try and come up with one in another thread so Unky can still answer this one. I will post a link once I do.
All right, here you go guys. Sorry if it sucks or if you have seen it before.

Don't tell me that the plane was supposed to be throwing water on the burning forest and thus took water from the lake. But something unexpected happened; the plane took a diver (our dead man) in its water tank/reservoir by mistake with his suit and threw him over the burning fire!
Poor diver :(
I guess that he could have died in the plane itself perhaps, because with a snorkel, one cannot stay underwater for long... When morgaine asked for the forest fire, all the things fitted.
Ok, off to the next one then.
PS. I once got a mail with that same very question about the 3 people under the bus stop. I didn't answer but scrolled down to see what was it... and by the time I saw your question, I have already forgotten lol :p
Hey you, try this latest one:
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/games/...ml#post2519564
For anyone still reading this thread, new one here:
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/games/...-506400-9.html
Post #88, page 9.
(And sorry, I posted it before I knew jm had another thread going. I didn't recognize "it doesn't add up" as being one of these.)
I also just realized from reading it, that it appears nowhere near solved. So we can finish it first, and I'll put the link in to this when it's done. (Unless someone wants to to try to do two at once - fine by me.)
He was a snorkeler he had a wet suit on and the helicopter went to stop and suck water in its tank he got caught in the tube due to the suction and got dump onto the fire
