MIND OPENING QUESTIONS

[Nibz]

This one is an old one and many people will know this one (though it does open your mind):

Under the law of a certain country (don't ask which one), anyone caught poaching in the king's private garden is either hanged or beheaded. Before they are executed, the culprits have to make a statement. If the statement is true, they will be beheaded; if the statement is wrong, they will be hanged.

One day a man was caught and he made the statement: "I shall be hanged."
This is where the question is:
If he was hanged, then his statement would be true and therefore he should be beheaded. BUT if he was beheaded, then what he had said was wrong and therefore he should be hanged. Should he be beheaded or hanged?

Try to answer that! :mrgreen:

Hanged then beheaded?? :ugeek:

 

[CaptainDanger]

I guess so?

 

[hElPsEeKeR15]

Yea hanged and then beheaded or simply thrown from a cliff ;p

 

[PrInCeSs AshLeY]

He should be beheaded
Reason:
Well he said "I shall" means that he is giving his opinion about something. If he has done some kind of crime, then yes, according to that area's laws, he should have been hanged.
So his statement is not a false one.
So even if he is beheaded, this statement remains true. Because he did not say "I WOULD be hanged" instead he said that "I SHALL be hanged"
So, if he is beheaded then "He should have been hanged but he wasn't"

@Nibz, nice try
@hElPsEeKeR15, awesome!
@PrInCeSs AshLeY, you're right...........but personally, I think he should be fed to alligators for making such a stupid statement.........

 

[PrInCeSs AshLeY]

You know what? The king and this person should be forced to give CIE papers!

 

[Shahroz95]

Yeah! And the exam of Pakistan Studies with only 1 month of preparation!

 

[PrInCeSs AshLeY]

No. He should only be given one week!
And he should be scolded terribly by his parents and teachers if he fails to score an A*

 

[Shahroz95]

I think he should be.........let's see.........what's the worst way of torture?..........hmm..........need a little help here...........

 

[PrInCeSs AshLeY]

Well, he should be forced to give all the O-level subjects and score A* in all of them and should be pressurized by everyone and should have terrible teachers and..... I guess this much is enough. =P

 

[Shahroz95]

I have a question for all of you:
What does a red rock become when you throw it into the deep blue sea.

 

[PrInCeSs AshLeY]

It'll become a wet red rock

 

[Shahroz95]

You're right!

 

[PrInCeSs AshLeY]

Since Birth.

 

[Shahroz95]

I don't think so................

 

[PrInCeSs AshLeY]

Then guess you do not have enough oxygen in your brain.

a farmer wants to cross a river using a simple boat with three things but unfortunately he can take only one at a time
the things r:
1. a large amount of herbs
2. a cow
3. a lion
neglecting the lions ideas of eating the farmer.....name the things mentioned above in such order that it would be safe for the farmer without any kind of loss...

It reminds me of my childhood...

 

[PrInCeSs AshLeY]

First a lion, then herbs and then cow.
Reason is because lions won't eat herbs. If cow pehle hoti tou herbs kha jaati.

 

[CaptainDanger]

Nah... Agar lion lay jati hou tou cow herbs kha jayegi thats a loss... See its answer on 7th page...

 

[PrInCeSs AshLeY]

Agar cow pehle le jaatey hai, then lion to lion cow ko kha gaya phir?
