Did he turn delusional after he heard about Xeno's paradox? :V

Did he think it was night as he entered the tunnel?

Did he kill himself because it was dark?

Thaws · « **Reply #758 on:** February 11, 2010, 03:46:00 PM »

Did someone told him something that made him suicide in B?

Did he realise something in the train that made him want to die?

Was there a specific reason why he had to jump off a train in a tunnel?
If so, could he have jumped off a building instead?
Could he have jumped off outside the tunnel?

Did he want people to find his corpse?

Was there something in the tunnel he wanted?

Did he specifically jumped off in the tunnel because it's dark in there?
If yes, does this implies he could've jumped off anywhere that was permanently dark?

Was there something that meant very much to him in the tunnel?

Is the gap of 2 weeks important?

Did he recently receive warnings about the dark?

If he had been on a different route would it have changed anything?

(Are all the cases death of some kind?)

Almost all, YES. Because 'A man did X, then saw Y and then broke his arm' is just not as awesome as 'A man did X, then saw Y and then DIED A HORRIBLE DEATH :V

OH~!

I just remembered the answer to this one. So, shall I give hints at some point?

Did he realise something in the dark?

Did he thought he saw something in the dark?

Depending on the game-flow, YES

Quote

Did he realise something in the dark?

Well, kind of, yes.

Quote

Did he thought he saw something in the dark?

NO

Quote

Was the man blind or partially blind?

YES, but there's specifics to that.

Thaws · « **Reply #771 on:** February 12, 2010, 07:16:22 AM »

The man went to B to perform a surgery for curing his night-blindness. On his way back, the train went into a tunnel and it was really dark. Realising that he still can't see in the dark, he concluded he has been scammed of all his money for the surgery and that he has not been cured. He suicided.

Dead Princess Sakana · « **Reply #772 on:** February 12, 2010, 07:24:04 AM »

CASE SOLVED!
Enough details have been uncovered and brought into connection to declare this case as solved. Please wait a bit for
post-game summary.

YES

The man had traveled to B for surgery on his eyes, because he was blind.
After the surgery he had to wear bandages over his eyes for a while.
On the way back to A he took off the bandages just as the train passed through a tunnel.
Convinced that he was still blind despite all promises, the man jumped out of the train.

Nice work, I honestly thought this one would take a little bit longer.

Oh, come on, that doesn't even make sense. Trains are lit up on the inside, even during daytime! :V

Don't ask me. And even if you assume that the part of the train he was in was completely dark, you normally can't open a train-window enough to jump out. So he would have had to walk to the doors, and it should be impossible to do that without passing any kind of light.

Aah, whatever, it was a good riddle nonetheless. I only nitpick because I love.

Dead Princess Sakana · « **Reply #776 on:** February 12, 2010, 07:53:33 AM »

Hey, pointing out the logical errors in those riddles is almost as much fun as solving them

Thaws · « **Reply #777 on:** February 12, 2010, 07:53:42 AM »

Ah oops. My answer is actually wrong because the concept of mine is the man was actually not cured and only realised it in the dark, while the real answer was that the man was actually cured but thought he wasn't in the dark.
So you could've given a NO and some hints.
Anyways, you've already revealed the true answer so whatever.

Mine would explain how he would still want to suicide even if he passed any kind of light though, but he wouldn't be so suicidal if it was just night-blindness. :/ Perhaps he was really poor and paying that surgery already got him bankrupt? :V

Dead Princess Sakana · « **Reply #778 on:** February 12, 2010, 07:55:16 AM »

Hm, your version made more than enough sense and it had all the basic facts. Whether he was really still blind or whether he just thought so doesn't matter that much. To me, at least.

Maybe I wasn't just paying enough attention to your exact wording :V

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #779 on:** February 12, 2010, 06:38:38 PM »

yep, I knew this one. But I had to have my memory jogged by the questions

. The blindness thing was basically what would crack it for people who didn't know it.
