Preserved Topic: Anyone love Conundrums like I do? (Page 5 of 6)

No

ooh! they were disagreeing and they were talking about death and did they both know that he was dying of a heart attack? or did it come on because of the conversation? or what?

No, the heart attack was completely unexpected. It was not caused by anything they were discussing.

Key point: Paul(B) turned away from Peter(A) and then Peter(A) suffered the heart attack. Peter(A) dropped to his knees as a result of this heart attack and then shot Paul(B) in the leg. He shot him in the leg on purpose.

I think I'm going to need to hire a body guard after this is over.

Proud to have my 500'th post in this forum and in this thread!

Bugs, by any chance did B say something that startled A which led to A's heart attack?

Did B have a liter or container or surenge of any type holding a deadly disease and he said he was going to unleash it upon the world? I highly doubt it but I just finished watching 12 monkeys for the 50'th time.

edit: you posted the answere to my question 3 minuts before my post while I was still thinking and typing.... so nevermind my 1st "?"...

InSiDeR, congrats on 500! And do you know that 12 Monkeys is one of my *all time* favorite movies? I just might have to watch it again tonight!

im already so HOT on the solution of this. its making me crazy...

we're they talking about heart-attacks or other kinds of heart-diseases/illness/infarcts ?
(although Peters heart-attack came unexpected)

hmmm. no. probably not.
another idea:
Paul must have said some so shocking to Peter that he got that heart-attack, right?

No, Paul(B) did or said *nothing* to bring on the heart attack, it was a completely independent and unexpected occurrence.

Were they maybe discussing suicide or assisted suicide?
Is C (the wife) healthy?
Did B plan on harming C?
If so, was A aware of this?

"discussing suicide or assisted suicide?" No
"Is C (the wife) healthy?" Perfectly healthy
"Did B plan on harming C?" Hint: Not exactly.
"If so, was A aware of this?" Hint: A and B were both aware of what was *supposed* to happen.

were they arguing about the death of C? direct from them or indirect>?

That's very close. You absolutely need to know what they were disagreeing about to know why I can't "yes" 100% to that.

Remember they were psychiatrists and they were having a disagreement about something related to their field of expertise. You are getting very warm!

Had A not had a heart attack, would he still have shot B? In other words, was it his heart attack that made him want to shoot B?
Did he intend to kill B or just wound him?

"was it his heart attack that made him want to shoot B?" Yes
"Did he intend to kill B or just wound him?" Just wound him

were they discussing the after life?

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

Did A shoot B to bring the fact that A was having a heart attack to B's attention? *g*

LOL, raptor. do you really think shooting him was the only way to get attention?
i mean, if he could shoot he should at least be able to yell.

I like Raptor's idea, though.

Is this correct at all?

B intended to tell C something, at the request of A. However, once A had his heart attack, the thing B was going to tell C became false, as a result of the heart attack. So A shot B to keep him from telling C.

of course grumble! the best way to get somebody's 100% attention is to shoot them in the leg

"Remember they were psychiatrists and they were having a disagreement about something related to their field of expertise."

Were they arguing about the mental state of C in any way, be it schizophrenia, bipolar, sexual deviant, or otherwise?

[This message has been edited by Raptor (edited 01-27-2002).]

welll... herez for 180 posts.... lets get the answer b4 200 please!

Well bugs it looks like you are almost at 2000! And 12 monkeys was a great, mind throbbing, movie. Another I like is Blade Runner, futuristic or apocalyptic movies always grab my attention and some good drama's or murder mysteries too!

But anyway....

quote:

---

"Did B plan on harming C?" Not exactly

So they must have planned to do something to C. But B wasn't sure about how he was going to approach C.

Tell me did B end up killing C? Or does that not matter?

I just now realized bugs that you need to meet my dad, he is an entomologist and knows all kinds of things about bugs and how they are bugs themselves

nono... we are getting very close!!! i can feel it... just waitig for buggs to answer the above questions...

b and c are the same person before and after an operation?

Where's he hiding? Bugs! get here and sort this out, were're waiting on ya man

~runs round looking under rocks~

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

Im gonna squish you if you don't come out of where ever you are!

I'm here and I would love to see 200 so I'll continue here Thanks for opening it back up!

I know I shouldn't have gone out of town for a relaxing trip up the coast when we had such a great thread going. But for some strange reason, Wella gave me a funny look when I suggested we not go so I could continue with this thread. LOL!!!

I was hoping you would all solve this before I left. But I'm back and I see we're still going strong.

"discussing the afterlife?" No

"B intended to tell C something... ...So A shot B to keep him from telling C." No

"Were they arguing about the mental state of C in any way, be it schizophrenia, bipolar, sexual deviant, or otherwise?" They were not arguing about C's mental state.

"Tell me did B end up killing C?" C lived because A shot B in the leg.

"b and c are the same person before and after an operation?" No

Hint: They were arguing about what would happen in a hypothetical situation.

was the hypothetical concerning C?
did the bullet shot actually physically stop B from harming C?
did B end up reaching C?
was B's intent malicious?

___________________
b u n c h a p i x e l s

did B decide to act out the hypothetical idea and the other dude didnt want him to so he shot em?

"was the hypothetical concerning C?" Only in that B was on his way to attack her.
"did the bullet shot actually physically stop B from harming C?" Absolutely. And A intentionally aimed for the leg.
"did B end up reaching C?" No, thanks to A.
"was B's intent malicious?" Oh that's a tough one to answer. I can only say he was on his way to attack C.

"did B decide to act out the hypothetical idea..." Only partly.
"...and the other dude didnt want him to..." No. edit/hint/clarification: A and B were in agreement about what was supposed to happen.

is there anything unusual about C, or her situation; or is the 'riddle bit' primarily concerning A and B, with C as the innocent bystander?

if A had not had a heart attack, would he have followed C?
would the entire even have been fairly trivial in this case?

"is there anything unusual about C, or her situation; or is the 'riddle bit' primarily concerning A and B, with C as the innocent bystander?" YES, that is right on.

"if A had not had a heart attack, would he have followed C?" I'll assume you mean follow B and YES, he would have followed B very closely.

"would the entire even have been fairly trivial in this case?" YES, everything would have been much less dramatic had the heart attack not occurred.

I am smelling a solution getting very close now.

Is C pregnant, or in a coma or some other state of limbo and B was on his way to switch off her life support to prove she would/would not live?

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

No, C was perfectly normal and healthy.

B was on his way to attack C, but was it the vicious form of "attack"? Perhaps he was merely going to grab her up in his arms and kiss her which would also be considered "attacking".

We are closing in on the answere

um, bugs, was i 'right on' with the first half of the question (something unusual about C), or the second (innocent bystander)?
would the action that B was going to perform physically exertive (like kicking someone to death), or less strenuous (like depressing a foot pedal)?

"was it the vicious form of "attack"?" Let's just say that if A had not shot B in the leg, B would have murdered C.

buncha, sorry I answered you very unclearly. I meant that you were right on the money that C was an innocent bystander. There was nothing special or unusual about C.

b would have shot her?
now that clears things up a bit...
and money was involved right?

ok a n b were planning to get rid of c to get all her decoration, jewels and so on.
but since a was going to die he saw that this is unfair and the least he could do is to prevent c from killing his wife.
game over.
