    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?

    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?

    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 :)

    He seems so close yet so far from this. I think he is thinking of he got onto the plane and was killed by the plane or someone on it.

    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.

    Okay, lunchtime here. :)

    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.

    It's funny. 4 pages just seemed like a lot of questions and I started wondering if it was close to being solved. But now that I have them all listed out and am looking at them, I realize not a lot has been established yet. So I already have questions. 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?

    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 he die after arriving at the forest? Yes

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

    Did the plane crash in the forest? No

    Is the plane in the forest at this point? Not sure

    Are there any other humans in the near vicinity (in the forest), dead or alive? 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. :)

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