Preserved Topic: Anyone love Conundrums like I do? (Page 4 of 6)

bugs, in your post at 01-22-2002 12:03 AM in this thread you said:
A is male
B is male
C is female

and also somewhere in here you said, that they are all human.
so, A=Peter B=Paul C=Mary
argh. i have now so many details about this situation but still no clue why all this happens.
i have to figure out what Peter(A) died of.
so, more Qs:

is Peter having an illness of any kind?
are all characters about the same age?
is Peter attracted by Mary and viceversa? (are they betraying Paul)

GRUMBLE,

Sorry we did establish all the sexes and that they're all human.

A=Peter
B=Paul
C=Mary

"is Peter having an illness of any kind?" Yes
"are all characters about the same age?" Yes

"is Peter attracted by Mary and viceversa? (are they betraying Paul)" Peter(A) and Mary(C) are husband and wife. There was no romantic involvement between Paul(B) and Mary(C).

Sorry Bugimus... doesn't look like anyone is interested in Conundrums...

Sheesh, tell me about it. LOL!

Well something tells me that 124 posts means that people who actually post in this forum like conundrums shii. Or maybe thats just me

Screw everyone else, I must know the answer!! heheh....

Seriously, though, is B a dog or some other type of animal?

Throw me a bone here, bug.

Here's what we know:

Peter(A):
- human male
- fell to his knees due to some sort of medical problem or illness
- husband of Mary(C)
- after reaching into a drawer to shoot Paul(B) in the, he dies

Paul(B):
- human male
- was on his way to attack Mary(C)
- before he could attack her, he is shot in the leg by Peter(A)
- Paul(B) did *nothing* to harm or cause Peter(A) to die

Mary(C):
- wife of Peter(A)
- she has no idea anything is happening, she is in another part of the house.

There is no family relation between any of these people.

There is no romantic issue between them other than Peter and Mary are married.

GRUMBLE had asked if there was a *physical* fight between Peter and Paul before Paul turns to attack Mary. There was not a "physical" fight between them. They were discussing something *very* relevant to the solution before Paul turned to attack Mary.

Hints: It would be very good to find out what Peter and Paul were "discussing". It would also help to know what they do for a living.

Is one of them a professional assassin? Does B have a prosthetic leg? Does A's dying have anyting to do with the solution?

Were they talkin about C?

Were they talkin about wills? if so is B a lawyer, and A knew he was dying so he had no reason not to shoot a lawyer?

Did A know he was dying?

Was Money involved?

Is one of them a professional assassin? No
Does B have a prosthetic leg? No
Does A's dying have anyting to do with the solution? Yes
Were they talkin about C? Mary(C) was part of their discussion.
Were they talkin about wills? No
so is B a lawyer, and A knew he was dying so he had no reason not to shoot a lawyer? No
Did A know he was dying? Yes
Was Money involved? No

Was (B)Paul maybe mary's X/Hudband? Did (A)Peter have a stroke? How old are they all?

I think A said to B, "please go and attack my wife," so he did, and then as a practical joke, his last one before he died, A shot him in the leg.

buggs, i am going to hunt you down and kill you. okay?

No, eye, the bug must live to tell us the end of his story. But afterwards...hhehe...well....

Okay, do A and B work together (the peter, paul and mary thing is more confusing to me)?
Does A work with C?
Does B work with C?
Does A work in a professional field (doctor, lawyer, etc.)?
Does B work in a professional field?
Does C work in a professional field?

A should be Adam
B should be Barny
C should be Cindy

You had to go and make it More confusing eh?

Paul(B) was not Mary(C)'s ex-husband.

Peter(A) having a stroke is close enough, he had a heart attack.

They are all middle aged.

"do A and B work together" Yes
"Does A work with C?" No
"Does B work with C?" No
"Does A work in a professional field (doctor, lawyer, etc.)?" Yes, knowing which one is important.
"Does B work in a professional field?" Yes, knowing which one is important.
"Does C work in a professional field?" No

Slime said, "I think A said to B, 'please go and attack my wife', so he did, and then as a practical joke, his last one before he died, A shot him in the leg." No. It's crucial to know what A and B were discussing.

Now we're getting somewhere. The game is afoot, Watson.

Are A/B doctors?
Are A/B lawyers?
If A/B are doctors, is A B's doctor, or vice versa?
Also, are they in a hospital?
B was shot with a pistol, i.e. a handgun, correct?

My post was just a joke anyway =)

Hey, wait, I bet B was telling A a conundrum, and A was so confused by it that he had a heart attack, and since he wanted his wife at least to survive, he shot B in the leg before he had a chance to tell it to C!

(Another joke, because i really can't figure this out =)

So, C was part of the discussion, Was the discusion mostly about her? Was she only mentioned in the discussion? somewhere inbetwixt?

Does there location matter?

Ok

What were A & B discussing?

What proffessional feild did A work in?

Note: I didn't type their names bugs because thats just typing more, it makes me want to hurt people to type more, why do you want me to hurt people?

another little riddle:

what is it that no man wants, yet no man wants to lose?

(i have two good answers to this riddle)

oh, and one question for the current riddle:

is A dying of natural causes?

"Are A/B doctors?" YES. What type is important.
"If A/B are doctors, is A B's doctor, or vice versa?" No
"Also, are they in a hospital?" No
"B was shot with a pistol, i.e. a handgun, correct?" Correct

"Was the discusion mostly about C?" No
"somewhere inbetwixt?" That's probably the closest way of looking at it.
"Does their location matter?" No

InSiDeR, there's no need to hurt people Peter, Paul, & Mary or A, B, & C makes no diff to me.

bunchapixels, we have established that Peter(A) was dying of a naturally occurring heart attack.

And I would have to guess "responsibility".

bugs: hmm... responsibility doesn't fit as well as the 'real' answers...

and did B tell A something new about C?

is there anything unusual about C?

are A and B medical doctors? are they general practicioners? specialists?

does InSiDeR know how to ask a close-ended question?

oh, and a few more for those who give up on bug's:

riddle b2:
a man lies dead next to a rock.
explain.

riddle b3 (apparently true):
a man lies dead, in the forest, in a wetsuit.
explain.

"did B tell A something new about C?" No
"is there anything unusual about C?" No
"are A and B medical doctors?" Yes
"are they specialists?" Yes, you're almost there on this detail!


I know the rock one but I'll let someone else answer.

I haven't heard the wetsuit one so I think he was a scuba diver and ran out of air and settled in a forest of kelp.

Bunchapixels, Riddle 1 - his wife

bugs, were A and B heart surgeons?

~We're not here for long, we're here for fun~

A and B were not heart surgeons. They were both medical doctors and specialists of some kind.

The wetsuite one:

The scuba diver was accidently scooped up by the water container of a chopper fighting a fire in the woods.

Release water over fire in forest-> scubadiver falls to his death.

were they orthopaedic doctors?

the man next to the rock, is the rock a gravestone?

~We're not here for long, we're here for fun~

never mind...

[This message has been edited by DigitalUbiquity (edited 01-25-2002).]

"orthopaedic doctors?" No

BAH!!! This is doing my nut!

Q, Bugimus, Bin Laden and Bill Gates are in a room. you have two bullets. who do you shoot?

A, Bugimus first. then shoot him again to make sure

~We're not here for long, we're here for fun~

Should I give hints?

well, seems as if we have to get through all possibilities

are they dentists?
are they gynocologisits?
are they opticians?
are they psychologists?
are they therapeuts?

(argh, i dont know the english names for all those specialists)

Yeah, maybe a hint would help. Not a little bit, not a big bit, but a middle bit. Something to keep us going.

God Damnit Nimraw & Morph, I hate school, I always miss answering the easy ones when I am at school. There was a fire in the forest and a helicopter was sweeping water from a near by lake to dump, the man was scuba-diving and was accidentally dropped in the fire. And yes, the guy was in his coffen not yet barried lying next to his tombstone.

Bug yes you should give hints because I seem to be the only one figuring things out just kidding, but I did find out about the heart attack! Thats important you know!

OK ok ok. This should be a hint that will knock this thing out once and for all.

"are they psychologists?" Close enough. They were both psychiatrists. They were professional colleagues. They were having a lively but gentlemanly argument about something related to their field of work.

they were discussing about the sense of life.
Peter was suffering of "suicidia" (=higly suicid endangered) and said to Paul he is going to kill him self, there fore Paul went to tell Mary, but Peter didnt want that, fell on his knees to reach in the drawer for the pistol. and you know the rest...

Sorry, that's not it.

not even close?
so what were they talking about?
Sigmunds Freuds theories?
anything related to death?
sex in modern society?

None of those things. Although "death" was certainly part of it.

Once you find out what they were disagreeing about, you should be able to piece the whole thing together.

Was A trying to do B a favor when he shot him?
