Deep in the forest was found the body of a man who was wearing only swimming trunks, snorkel and facemask. The nearest lake was 8 miles away and the sea was 100 miles away. How had he died?
I'm new at this, so we'll see how it goes. I think it is a lot easier than Morgaine's train puzzle :)
Mythbusters!
Was the man killed?
Were the facemask and snorkel still on his face?
Was his swimsuit cut at any place?
Did the man have any weapon with him like a knife?
I find myself second guessing how to answer some questions. Bear with me. :)Quote:

Darn. I was looking forward to you playing. :(Quote:

You might solve this before Morgaine gets a chance to play. Maybe Adam will have to look for a puzzle for her.Quote:

Is that it? :)
No. I think you'll need more questions.Quote:

Was the man's suit wet? Yes, it was at one time. May have dried out by the time he was found.
Is it relevant that there is a lake 8 miles away? Yes
Is there any cliff nearby? Irrelevant. (haha, I feel rude saying that)
Is there any mountain nearby? Irrelevant.
Lol, it's good to know that something's irrelvant :)
Ok, so, did the man get on a plane?
Or a helicopter?
Did he slip because of his wet feet and fell down down down in the forest?
Ok, so, did the man get on a plane? Technically no, he did not get on a plane. I'm trying not to mislead you here. :o
Or a helicopter? No.
Did he slip because of his wet feet and fell down down down in the forest? No.
Hm...
Is it relevant how he got up in the sky?
Yes.Quote:

Is the vehicle relevant?
Did the vehicle fly high enough to avoid the trees?
He climbed on a ladder attached to a flying vehicle? No
Did he get on the vehicle? I think I did mislead you. He somehow got on the vehicle. Try to figure out how.
Is the vehicle relevant? Yes
Did the vehicle fly high enough to avoid the trees? Yes.
I need to get some work done but I'll check back in a while.
Does the vehicle has wings?
Is the vehicle a seaplane?
Is the man a secret agent? (:p)
Oh I thought it was a helicopter. Maybe I am wrong on this one. Or maybe different versions. I will pm you J-Lo.
Does the vehicle has wings? Yes
Is the vehicle a seaplane? I know I misled you. Let's say it's a plane. That why I said "technically, no". It was the way your question was worded.
Is the man a secret agent? (:p)
There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
Secret agent man, secret agent man
They've given you a number and taken away your name
Umm - no. :p
Oh, I understood it another way :o
Okay, back on.
Did the man have a relevant task to do at the lake?
Does the man want to prove something by going to the lake?
Is the plane with which he flew his?
Did the plane (pilot) expect him?
Sorry. I think you're on the right track now.Quote:

Hm..
Did he climb on the plane unnoticed?
Did someone in the plane notice him when they were over the forest?
Did the plane rotate, so that the man could no longer hold on to the plane?

This is fun - don't you think? :D
Did he suffocate?/lack of oxygen?
Yes it is! No's also help in eliminating possibilities :)
So it seems he was killed then...
Was the man captured by the person/people of the plane?
Was he tied to the plane?
Did the person/people push him when they were over the forest?
EDIT: Okay, my last post of the day. See you later Bear and JLo :)

Good night.Quote:

I know, but he is making progress. I'm glad he didn't guess it right off, and he's so fun to watch playing this.Quote:

Two things:
Now you know what it's like from this side. LOL. It can be very difficult answering things, figuring out how literally to take it, how they mean it isn't how you took it, will it be misleading. Then the questions out of the blue that you never thought about and are not sure are even relevant, but they might be. Some are obvious and easy, but some I think about for a long time.
But you also see how terribly amusing it can be. :D
As for finishing before Morgaine gets there, you have to remember Morgaine doesn't do mornings. (I don't know where you're at, but the time you posted this was morning for me. I've also had a bad day thus far and didn't get on here until later than usual.)
I copied everything into a Wordpad file (trying to not really pay attention to what I was copying), and I'm going to try going back and seeing what I can come up with. But I do have other things I need to get done for the moment, so it will be a little while. But Unky's asleep, Adam never posts this late... I should be safe for the moment. ;)
P.S. You're not supposed to feel bad answering irrelevant. All answers are important.
I'm Pacific time, but I'm an early riser so I usually come on around 5:00 am for the first time... and then I usually wake up in the middle of the night and I'll also come in somewhere between midnight and 3:00 am.
It has been fun doing this. Unky's such a sweetheart. I can't help but want to help him. I hope you have fun with this. I'll be looking forward to what you ask or conclude.
He's smart too. I have full confidence that he'll get it.Quote:

I'll throw a bunch out, try to force myself to go get my stuff none, and pop back in later.
He was in the lake prior to being in the plane, right?
And he was in the forest after being on the plane?
Is it relevant that the sea is 100 miles away?
Did someone in the plane just spot him in the water while flying over?
Was this plane a rescue vehicle?
Even if not, did someone in the plane rescue him?
Did he enter the plane under his own power?
You never answered this: Did he die of some kind of suffocation/lack of oxygen?
Was he dead before he was on the plane?
Did he die on the plane?
Did he die after arriving at the forest?
Did the plane land in the forest? (Guess that would be difficult.)
Did the plane crash in the forest?
Is the plane in the forest at this point?
Are there any other humans in the near vicinity (in the forest), dead or alive?
Trust me, my head is full of a million more, but I think it wise to get some of these facts established first, so I'll stop.
Hmm, I just re-read about him falling out of the sky.
Did he fall into the forest?
Did he fall into the water?
Was there a boat involved at all?
He was in the lake prior to being in the plane, right? Yes
And he was in the forest after being on the plane? Yes
Is it relevant that the sea is 100 miles away? It's relevant that water was a distance away, whether the sea or lake.
Did someone in the plane just spot him in the water while flying over? No
Was this plane a rescue vehicle? Yes
Even if not, did someone in the plane rescue him? No
Did he enter the plane under his own power? No
You never answered this: Did he die of some kind of suffocation/lack of oxygen? Hmmm... I didn't see that. No.
Was he dead before he was on the plane? No
Did he die on the plane? No

Did the plane land in the forest? (Guess that would be difficult.) No

Trust me, my head is full of a million more, but I think it wise to get some of these facts established first, so I'll stop. Well, it was quite an impressive list. :)
Did he fall into the forest? Yes
Did he fall into the water? No

I just asked someone else for their opinion on this and was told I should have said No. How's that for confusing? :o
