A New Challenge this time in Deductive Reasoning

The_Dragon_Tamer · Nov 21, 2003

Due to requests for more I shall give another challenge, not one in poetry but one in dedcutive reasoning. There is a rule to this challenge:

1. You may only ask me questions that I can answer "yes" or "no" to.

Here is the scenario:

You are called to a scene. You open the door and look around. You see John and Mary lying dead on the floor, there is water and broken glass on the floor, then you notice a cat in the room sitting on the window sill.

You challenge is to tell me what happened. Are you up for it.

Look further down for a new puzzle, one not so easy to solve.

I see thou hast heard that one. Let me add a new one then.

A bell rings, a man dies, a bell rings.

What and how did this happen? Only "yes" or "no" questions.

No. Remember the questions to ask the "w" and "h" questions.

No. You need to find out who, what, where, when, how and other things. You need to seek further information before even trying to solve what has happened.

In John Donne's time, a church bell was rung to announce another death from the plague. In your case, what's happening is you started the sequence after the bell ringing for the death of one man. Another man dies and the bell is rung again to signal his passing.

Though not a yes or no question, this is not what happened, not even close. Sorry please try again.

'Tis much more information that you all will need to find the answer.

did the first bell cause the death of the man?

Difficult to answer, but yes the first bell did play a role in the man's death.

midwestyankee · Nov 21, 2003

OK, let's try this again.

Was the ringing of the second bell brought about by the death of the man?

A blind man hears a bell, walks toward it and falls off a cliff into the sea.

The bell heard was the sound of a bouy.

Nay this is not what happened. I must be asked questions that should only require yes or no answers to. Precise and specific questions are best. My final clue I give to you. I thank you for your try.

so something happened before the first bell rang that we have to find out?

Yessssss, but there are more important clues to find out about than the bell. I promise that this will be the last clue I give to anyone. Goodluck.
