The parents take the girl to visit a music hall and meet a conductor? No. (Missing the obvious.)
She asks what the stick is for? No.
Or she has previously seen a conductor waving a stick whilst the music plays? Yes. (Just so that's not misleading, "previous" to the time of our original statement.)
She therefore thinks the baton makes the music happen? Yes.
Is this what is confusing people?Quote:
You asked "Were the orchestra musicians present?" Our scenario is about him handing her the baton - there is no "before" in your question.Quote:
She didn't get his attention... he wasn't practising, it was irrelevant whether there was an orchestra before...
So... she saw him waving the baton, and thought the baton was what made music happen.
When her parents told the conductor about how she liked his magic musical baton, he presented her with one of her own.
When the music didn't play when she waved it around, she thought it was broken.
Did the girl think the stick was working during the 1-2min she had it before it "broke"?
Was there music playing in the background during the 1-2min?
Did the music turn off thus "its broken"?
Did the man turn the music off?
Does the girl have any psychological problems?
Does the girl have a wild imagination?
Is why the man gave her the stick relevant?
Is why the girl there relevant?
Are the girls parents relevant?
Do her parents have anything to do with the man giving her the stick?
Synn's got it.
I think something that has confused people is missing the obvious that they had been at a concert. Our little scenario takes place after the concert, and no one really asked much about what happened prior to the stick-handing. The girl didn't "borrow" the baton, and no one asked the conductor to do this. The parents simply told him the girl liked it, and he chose on his own to give her one as a gift - he wasn't asking her to "try it" or even use it at all - simply giving it to her.
There didn't need to be anyone present at the time, other than the man, the girl, and presumably her parents. Thus, the question "Were there musicians present," is answered correctly, as they didn't need to be present at this time, though I think that confused people. As I said, no one really dug much into what happened earlier, before this happened.
Now theoretically, this could have happened anywhere, at any time. I changed my mind on location and decided to place it in a music hall since that would make more sense to the average person. (Now me, I'm a musician, have a friend who's a conductor, am acquaintances with others, I've been all over with them, including their houses, etc. So I had to force my mind into placing this in a music hall, since your average person doesn't run around with conductors.)
So... how's everyone's schedules? Is anyone game for another one? In another couple of days my schedule will finally lighten up just a little bit (except for those nasty Saturdays). It's not important that we do them quick, in case folks like Unky who want to have a break from studying here and there want to continue.
Kgp0001, welcome! Unfortunately that one got solved just as you were starting your questions. Didn't mean to ignore you - you're welcome to play.
Anyone else want to host? Unky, you've never hosted. :) Adam, jm, you around?
Or does everyone need a break? I'm always game - up to you.
These are a great little break in my days. I never really have the time to host, but it's fun to help solve them!
Been busy, today was my first exam day. I feel I aced them, lol :p
But... I feel it's only calm before the storm (difficult papers) :eek:
I'm always happy to have a look in. Don't always have time to do much but it's fun to see what's going on anyway.
Good stuff with the exams Unky. Go you. :)
Way to go, Unky!
OK, I can post another. It doesn't matter if it goes slow - just whenever anyone has time to come on. I'm kind of busy myself the next couple of days, but I'll get one up either later tonight or tomorrow night.
Here's a little short easy one. This one somebody with a reasonable imagination could probably just come up with, but you can ask questions if you like:
Wilma looked outside the window of her apartment and saw a man in the building across the street straddle a woman on a couch, stab her in the chest, clean up the blood, and take her money. It was the third woman Wilma had seen this man do this to, and the man did not see Wilma, but she still did not call the police.
Is the man giving these women tattoos?
Accupuncture?
Is he giving them adrenaline for drug overdoses?
This would be the one. (Somehow I knew you could do this one.)Quote:

How come?
This one harder, but with your imagination...
Is the location relevant?
Is it late at night?
Is it early in the morning?
This is a little graphic but I heard a story of this guy who cheated on his wife, came home and went to bed with her, woke up in the morning and got into the shower with her only to find out that he had forgotten to take the condom off from the night before and she saw it. Thus one glance and she knew he was unfaithful.
Is the location relevant? Not really.
Is it late at night? Irrelevant
Is it early in the morning? Irrelevant
That works, but not the answer. (Although I place no faith in a condom staying on at all, let alone all night. :D)Quote:

Was it a facial expression that gave it away?
Did she spot him somewhere he shouldn't have been?
Is she telepathic but only if she is looking at the person?

Was his clothing somehow the issue that gave him away? No.
Was it a facial expression that gave it away? Not a facial expression exactly. (I'll admit that's a bit of a trick answer.)
Did she spot him somewhere he shouldn't have been? No.

Did some part of his face give it away?
Did some part of his face give it away? The literal answer is no, and it's not what you think. But there is something to this.
He had pubes that weren't the same colour as his wife's in his teeth?
He has put his toupe back on backwards in a rush to cover the evidence?
I think I just put myself off sex with those images...
LOL. Yeah, the teeth thing didn't do much for me. But big fat NO to both. :pQuote:

It was a bit of a trick puzzle. If Unky had been here, he probably would have eventually asked if they were human, since that has become a standard question. No, they were not.
They are praying mantis's and his head was bit off. Hence, the "facial expression" thing being a bit of a trick answer.
Clever puzzle, I would never have got that one.
Sorry to hear you are going.
Wishing you the very best out there in the real world.
Thanks for all the fun.
Ow... I've been busy again :(
Sorry to hear you were going, if you go somewhere, leave a notice, okay? :)
