I am currently studying psychology in university and we are studying psychological riddles on free time.
This is a riddle we had to do for a very long time with certain rules which wont be applied here.
Anyway, this is a very hard riddle that works the brain, so please keep this thread on topic and if u are smarter than average (looking at europeans) then this should be ezier than then the not-so-smart (looking at americans). jk jk 
OK THIS IS THE ONLY RULE-
YOU CAN ASK ME ANY YES/NO QUESTIONS, UNTIL ANSWER IS SOLVED. I really hope this thread keeps active since this is very very fun once you get ahold of it.
If you know the answer, please don't ruin it to the rest of the people -__-;
OK here is the riddle ^^
A man walked in a restaurant, took a sip of the albatross soup, calmly walked outside and shot himself in the head. Why?
no stupid answers plz-_-v

this is one of those retarded ones where you can't get the answer unless you ask 284238 questions
it's stupid and so is the answer :[
|
the longer it gets, the deeper it gets, and the better the answer gets 
It's really satisfying when you get the answer, even more than sex.

Look, you're not gonna go far in psychology unless you start reacting to unnatural/unexpected behaviour in a more tolerating manner. You're not THERE yet, so why don't you lay off the crack and assume I have a different kind of logic instead? My next question, based off of my frst one might actually surprise you and cause you a great deal of pleasure, comparable to that of an orgasm.

Did he take a trip on the Titanic long time ago ??? ;p
|
You might not realized it but that is precisely why i pointed out your exact question, it has a very deep meaning and can be used as fatal knowledge to crack this riddle.
|
He tried to kill the evil soup but he forgot it in his mouth when he shot it!
Or... I know this is 2 questions but anyway...
Did he have intention to kill himself?
and
Did he have intention to kill himself before he ate the soup?

NoNameLoser, I'm not talking to you, nor do I have any intention to, would you be so kind to respond to my gesture in a similar fashion? Thank you.

The "but" indicates you meant to say yes?

[as someone previously banned, and is not banned even after being discovered, i'd watch your mouth]

was there someone outside watching him die?

If some of you don't know what Albatross is, its a >SEA< bird. The soup is simply made of Albatross. Simple.

All asnwers were maerked as irrelevant, no rule is broken he just didnt mention it as a way of answer.

Well, albatross also means a very large worry, or huge burden. Why I asked if it was a metaphor.

was he about to have any children?
or could he have any children?
|
I just realised that I could understand the second answer in two ways, he did have intention to kill himself but not before he eats the soup or the eating soup gave him the idea of killing himself which I think is more likely.... ?
Was he trying to figure out something by tasting the soup?

Great, considering the audience you might as well ask them to friggin' ask you if he's a sailor, which still wouldn't be as relevant as my original question. OR MY FIRST QUESTION, which actually would fukin' fit.
U failed your psychology test.

got some wierd idea, was he trying to see whether he lives or dies by eating soup/amount of spoons it took to eat the soup (as if even-he lives, odd-dies).

This one seems rather easy compared the ones my teachers used to do, because answers that dont matter are "irrelevant", but my teachers wouldn't tell us when we're a mile off track (you get some funny shit at the end).

Ok so he was going in there eating some soup with no worries in his mind and suddenly he thinks of killing himself...
Does he find out something about the soup?
Or does he find out something else about something else with the help of the soup???

1. serious condition, some kind of illness, dead/coma?
2. from previous question, ther was someone else that caused him to think of suicide, was that someone else known to him?/his wife? both?
|
Had his wife died an indeterminate time ago (any time in the past) due to some accident at sea, and eating the albatross soup reminded him of it, prompting him to end his life?
|
lol Sand..was thinking that earlier
|
His mom was an albatross, and he had a flashback of her funeral, and realized he was being a cannibal, so he shot himself. GG

Did he have a flashback concerning an albatros?

Did his wife recently die?

Are you lying 'bout him being a sailor being irrelevant?
Did the restaurant feed him his wife who they just brutaly slaughetrd coz the man fuckin' looks like a bitch and then chopped her up and put in soup instead of the albatross?

Ok they fed him his wife previously and told him it's albatross soup, voila, riddle solved. The man loks like a bitch coz he never knew what an albatross tasted like and thought his wife who they brutally slaughtered 'coz he looks like a bitch and fed to him was an albatross. And ate her.

I think he killed his wife by giving her albatross soup(poisoned?)and by eating the soup himself he died the same way he had killed his wife?
Am I off track?

Was an albatros somehow involved in his wife's death

Eew. Had she fallen into the net or machine used to catch or manufacture the albatross soup and been prepared in the soup?

Perhaps whoever cooked the wife [soup] isn't relevant to the riddle.

Did he cook the soup, realize that he accidentally cooked his wife (who was in an albatross costume at the time) and when he took a bite, realized that he didn't indeed cook the bird, thus shooting self?

I have to sleep, I just want to wait till the end and see thaat I was right. (That is, him eating his wife which they (ok maybe not the restaurant) fed to him, fooling him into thinking it was albatross, which he now finds out he's not because he's so smart to look for his wife by the means of comparing what the taste is like and realising the truth... sigh... He's probably looking for his wife who has been kidnapped (or just dead long ago) -_-)

Basically you can make up whatever story you want from here (the mob, his sailor m8s from the save-the-albatross clan), whatever....
It's just that I'm dealing with a retard unable to answer simple yes/no questions who is failing his course miserably atm, and am trying to find out the truth from questions I don't have an answer on.
That's psychology.

Did he know he had eaten his wife earlier before he entered the restaurant?
[Edit: sorry, the updates go too fast ]
|
is the man retarded? is he ugly? is there something wrong with him?
|
Was his wifes body lost?
Did he know she had been dead?
|
ok. heres what i gather
he was on an island. he ate his wife on this island. for some reason he thought that he was eating albatross but he was really eating his wife.
now he is eating albatross. but it tastes different than the other albatross did? so he realizes he ate his wife.
now, what makes no sense to me is how he doesnt know he ate his wife.
|
Was there any special occasion for him going to the restaurant that day?
Did he have a pistol with him when he entered the restaurant?
Did he always wear a pistol with him?
|
So if mynock is right, are you pulling our leg untill we finally realize it?

i dont know if i missed flashback confirming this, but i saw infinity ask about a someone else....
was there someone else involved?

did he do something bad to someone (killed) assuming it was the person who killed his wife?

did he ate his wife just ealier that day or several days before?

Had he gone in the restaurant with a gun planning on killing his wife's murderer?

that's what i concluded as well. Probably someone else made the soup out of his wife and told him it was albatross soup. tho that would lead to the question how he knew that the soup he had eaten on that 'island' or whereever was made of his wife after realizing it wasn't albatross

I will stop answering questions which have already been cleared in the BIGBALLS post.

so........
lets call this someone person x.
x kills man's wife. x feeds man's wife to man, makes him believe it is albatross. this saves man's life, they are on an island. man eats soup. man realizes albatross is not what he ate before.
he realizes he ate his wife,so he kills himself. gg?

Was the chef in the restaurant the one who killed his wife?

Bascially you need to answer.
Who was this someone else? Why did he kill her? How did the man eat his wife without realizing it was his wife?

Flashback, I'll reiterate (you didn't answer those):
Was there any special occasion for him going to the restaurant that day?
Did he have a pistol with him when he entered the restaurant?
Did he always wear a pistol with him?

His he a skyzo?

hmm, lets make a little story then.
a man his wife and person x are flying a plane (hes not a sailor), and it crashes into an island. the man is badly injured, but person x is not. person x kills the wife, so he and the man can survive. he tells the man that his wife is dead, but he found an albatross, so by eating the albatross, he can stay alive.
some time later, he is in a restaurant, eating albatross soup. realizes what he ate before was NOT albatross, but instead must be his wife. promptly commits suicide.
|
did he marry someone else after his wife's death?
|
Identity of someone else is not important I guess?
|
so from this we can gather that the person x likes the man MORE than his wife because he decided to kill the wife rather than the man. so maybe it is the man's brother?
|
I'd have to go with BigBalls

or perhaps his wife was killed because the someone else was in love with the man? But the question is still whats wrong with the man???

Is it a question of guilt?

No it's question of gayness

Did the other person kill his wife, and say that she accidently died(drowned or whatever)?
Did the mystery guy secretly make soup using hidden wife's corpse?(thus saying it was albatross soup)
Then the man ate real albatross soup in restaurant and tasted different, thus realizing was his wife he ate before?
Did the man and his wife know the mystery guy personally before this happened?(as in him being a family member, or friend)

He and his wife were caught by aborigens at an island. They offered him a game. He has 2 matches presented to him, their sized being concealed. If he picks the shorter one, they feed him albatros soup, and let him go, and the wife will be alive and well, but she will live with them for a few months, and then they will let her go. If he picks the other match, they shred his wife into the soup and after he eats it they let him go. After he eats the soup, they don't tell him if he picked the right choice. Soon as he gets home, he buys albatros soup to find out that he ate his wife. He kills himself.

He killed himself because remains of his wife were in the soup?

there is something wrong with the man, you are so close.

do we only have to figure out who the man is now? or is there other holes

Person X:
Cannibals?
Someone who wanted to survive?
Psycho/criminal?

Does the man have multiple personality disorder?

So..is that it? Thought you said idenity of mystery man was important.

A man, his wife, and his friend go for a boat ride (personal boat). The main character is in fact, blind. When they on the boat ride in the middle of the ocean, the boat has an accident which leaves them stranded on an island.
In order to survive, the man's friend lies to the man saying the woman died in the shipwreck but in fact kills her behind his back and feeds himself and his friend his wife claiming it is albatross soup. They are rescued a few days later.
A few months/years later he goes to a restaurant and orders an Albatross soup, he realizes what he had on the island was NOT albatross meat therefore realizing he ate his wife.
He walks out of the restaurant realizing he had eaten his wife, pulls out a gun and shoots himself in the head unable to live with the fact of eating his wife.
I gave you a lot of hints, but good job. We could only ask 3 questions a day (well thought out questions), it took us months and was a relief to figure out the answer =)
I was planning on doing this as I do my school reading but I didnt get any reading done since the overflow of questions
|
No I think he hoped he had eaten the bird, and went to check, that's what I meant but flashback will tell us..
|
The man and his brother or close friend or son or w/e are stuck on an island and they have nothing to eat. I night while the man was sleeping his brother or close friend or son or w/e killed the man's wife and fed it to him the next day telling him he killed an albatross.
Hwne the man realized his wife was not around the *person* told him she drowned. Well, after being saved he orders albatross soup and he figrues out that he ate his wife.

The friend would not have lied if the meal had been something legit... so something else = wife.
|
fastest growing thread ever probably tho O:!~
|
okay how about a friend found a grave from mass killing of people during a conflict, and used whatever was possible to eat in the soup and said it was albatros. His wife died because of it, she was unlucky and ate a poisonous part. The friend didnt want to reveal it was his fault so he lied something happened to her. The only reason a man would kill himself is if he was playing russian roulette every time he ate an albatros meal.

Why was this blind guy walking around with a gun anyway?
|
did the guy had to visit the proctologist after the meal?

Actually, the answer is wrong. The guy did eat albatross in the island, but the cannibal owner of the restaurant served him a soup of his wife. The man reached the wrong conclusions, but was right to kill himself. >

There's a man lying naked on the ground holding a stick and he's dead. How/why?

And I too am finishing a psychology degree, and I can see no relevance in this enigma to any discipline in psychology.
Except, of course, the highly speculative, far-fetched and unsupported theories of creativity and parallel reasoning that some present as an alternative to the classic psychometric theory.

yeah, it was one of my 1st guesses when i first tryed to crack it, but its a good riddle.
heres an easy one, a man living on 10th floor walks in a fully operational elevator and presses 5th, then on 5th walks out and continues to his apartment by stairs; why?

It could be anything, that's true. If that's your question for the yes/no, then the answer is no. It is more interesting than that...and like the other one requires finding clues and not just guessing the scenario right off the bat.

He is a dwarf and can reach only the 5th floor button (wich is lower than the 10th floor button in the elevator), so he has to take the stairs from the 5th to the 10th floor. Cute, but old.

to answer the 1st question.. he shot himself because he wanted to shoot himself
its true, because he made the choice to so in fact he killed himself because he wanted to, what effected him to convince himself to suicide are different reasons leading up to his last one which is to kill himself.
every action has a reason of why you did it like, if rekrul dropped a bowling ball on his foot BY ACCIDENT, in someway he actually wanted to drop it even if it was obvious that it was an accident, or something like that

lool i just wasted 30 mins of my life reading this thread^^
oh well, good reading cheers :D

How come the man had a gun if he is blind?
|
Concluding all said,
a) The man who shot himself was too unlikely to have a gun at all as he was blind
b) Soup cooked at the restaurant and at the island SHOULD taste different
c) Although flashback21 mentioned that the soup at the restaurant was real albatross soup, the man could not know it. By tasting only two samples, he could only suppose that one of them wasn't real albatross. Either one could be with equal probability.
d) Anyway, this is absolutely illogical conclusion:
Taste of soup -> I have eaten such soup on the island -> Soup tastes different -> It's not an albatross soup I've eaten -> Oh that must be soup from my wife -> BANG
The man leaving elevator on fifth floor could
a) have some heart disease so he walked up 5 floors to have an exercise for his heart. 10 was just too much for him.
b) just not reach the button, as it was said
c) have claustrophobia so he couldn's stand being in an elevator longer than it took it to reach 5th floor
d) anything else
But could anyone, flashback21 in particular, tell me what all this nonsense have to do with psychology?

a) The gun was irrelevant. And what's too unlikely? Maybe he was taking his buddys X gun to his buddys home because for some odd reason his buddy X forgot it at the fisherman? Maybe he was about to go and sell his old gun from the days he was not blind, and it was just with him? I can see how you can make up a lot of shit trying to smash this riddle, yet you can't make any situation in your mind that would make him have the gun. If you can think of something as unlikely as this for the other test exapmle, "have claustrophobia so he couldn's stand being in an elevator longer than it took it to reach 5th floor" and even "anything else", surely you can give a blind guy a gun? It's easy. However, for weak minded people sake maybe the test should say "he killed himself" and declare everything conserning the way he did it as irrelevant.
b) And? So now we can't trust the mans judgement? I can recognise A LOT of foods no matter where it's made. I.e salmon is salmon no matter where it's made or what you put on it. I think he could know if he ate the same thing or something else.
c) The man believed the soup was albatross soup at the restaurant. That's all he needed. Oh and that equal probability is no way true. Prove it. Why would the cook lie? Something unusual again? What is more likely that I'm a comp AI or a real person? Are they both possible? If so, is it 50 % / 50 %? No.
d) Why?
All we need is, the man believes he ate real albatross soup at the restaurant.
He then concludes that the thing he ate earlier is not albatross, and can only figure it's his wife. Note, it is the mans judgement at work, not ours. Then the man figured about what were the possibilities of food on the island, maybe it was really small island with absolutely nothing on it, maybe the wife and the friend first established that there is no way anything to be eaten on the island and told the man and he believed it. When he ate his wife the friend "somehow catched a bird". I mean a fisherman knew it wasn't from the sea. Maybe he doubted his friend even then, maybe not, whatever? Maybe he had buried the memory deep, it was a flashback afterall.
Conclusion, you can fill in the blanks rationally the way that the riddle works, if you are not prejudiced...
"But could anyone, flashback21 in particular, tell me what all this nonsense have to do with psychology?" Well I'm interested too, but probably it's to do with more about what we answer, not the riddle itself? Us trying to find out? I don't know.
|
Not to mention all the fuckin bloddy pervious pages ! WHAT IS THE ANSWER ?
|
The answers to these kind of things are kind of dull usually, it's not about the answer but finding it. Anyway, the man remembered he had eaten his wife and that made him boohoo and he killed himself. The soup made him remember and realise it.

2Nevera:
The gun thing was kind of a joke, just to show that this whole story is far-fetched. That's not the point.
The point is (Terminator style):
- Soup tastes not as that soup on island, although both were made of albatross -
Obvious conclusion: the two soups were made of differend kind of meat.
Possible reasons:
(1) the soup on island is not albatross
(2) the soup in restaurant is not albatross
(3) neither soup is albatross
In case of (1) FOR ME conclusion would be (pretty much considering PSYCHOLOGICAL factors, such as I would never think of my close friend being able to kill my wife, eat her and also feed her to me - it would be a totally fuc*ed up psycho - cannibalizm/ murder of friends' wife... if that's common for you, I'll just STFU and go take a walk. Not only that, but I wouldn't even think of him to trick me for some reason, I would assume he was mistaken) :
- Friend mistook some bird for albatross.
In case of (2) - I can think of some reasons it could happen, like there was no albatross in stores and cook just made soup from some other meat not to get screwed by boss.
Possibility of your being AI is very close to zero because there is no known existent AIs. Possibility of cook for some reason or by mistake making wrong soup is much much higher. And its *psychologically* a lot higher than probability of eating your own wife.
Case of (3) would mean either conclusion relating to case (1) or to case (2).

It would, but not like flashback did it. He just hasn't got any damn clue about what psychology is about, else he would have administered the flow of the riddle properly. If only he had taken the time to realise as to WHY I asked those questions instead of just foolishly assuming my intentions judging off of his own infantile self, he MIGHT have realised that those 2 simple phrases are a work of fucking genious. I'm sorry, I can't put it otherwise, but I pressed like tons more meaning into those words than this whole riddle contains by itself. They are friggin' perls with at least 3 different levels of interpretation, and all this dumb american ignoramus managed to assume was that I wanted to destroy his precious thread.
Fuck you.

Maybe the psychological moral of the riddle is that people with disabilities develop realllly warped psyches?

Why, exactly. You see, and all this to only ONE way of the riddle. All the other possible and also viable solutions would have lots of different ways to contain all other kinds of different information. The problem here is that flashback just used PRECISELY the same information base he received from his previous riddler, who on the other hand may or may have not used it to his own liking, passing the riddles check-points according to the questions he received. Since at some point in the story the details become absolutely succumbed to the speculation of the questioner there is NO point to get glued to the one and only solution you have heard elsewhere.

Also correct. While flashback u might practice your most powerful attribute to date (your deaf and blind ignorance) as much as you wish, the facts are still there, and you are only depriving yourself from maybe understanding something that you don't. Not that I see much hope in you, it's just that you COULD.

imma edit this before I get banned =]

but Mynock, seriously, you're really stubborn and really arrogant, and no offence but you sound like a 12 year old kid with nothing else to do. There is only one answer to the story. Sure, it could end in different directions but that would be a different story, no? I wish I had the time to flame you for a couple hours but I don't. You're really getting on my nerves kid.
btw- Who are you in the BW community? Do you even play BW? Do you just go to random forums and annoy people claiming how you are better? I didn't write this riddle and stay on answer the questions.. I did it for people who had interest in the riddle.
I seriously don't understand how you are not banned. If I >KNEW< I wouldn't get banned for personally flaming you, instead of a educational debate, I would go all out. But if you can debate about psychology and the relations to this riddle, go for it. I know it might be hard since it is an _educational_ riddle, but try ur best.
annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd I just wasted a lot of time writing this im out~

Looks like Rekrul was right after all, and you are - indeed - a dumb american high school kid. I mean all the signs are there - and after what you've just posted I don't know if I should laugh or cry about it. Could you HONESTLY not find anything better than to say i'm 12 years old? Did you pick this line up from somebody who had some valid reason as to feel entitled to use it? I mean what you said is constructed so poorly I can't even find a reson to feel offended about it. It's just crap. Like the part about BW iiissss... WTF? It's just like a brick, and so is your brain-work. Educational riddle? Then wtf won't you learn something from it already? I actually told you WHAT I think about it's phsychological aspects, but why should I do it when you're too stupid to see it?
Nah, what the hell, this isn't going anywhere. Learn to communicate on a human level first, then, maybe, talk.

OK so first of, the point what I was trying to make is this: If you can make up ANY sequence of events that will make the riddle rational, you should give it benefit of a doubt. Just find out that one set you believe in and then, after then you have absolutely no need to question the riddle, it makes all the events that lead to illogical riddle useless.
So, in my point of view, your (1) (2) (3) don't mean much, because I think the man convinced himself of that the soup he ate at the restaurant is infact albatross soup, he also gets obviously very emotional, has flashback, sees earlier events in a different light, concludes the facts or his fears or his emotions and then kills himself.
I still don't see that the man _should_ be stupid or irrational to think this way, I think he just might had had enough evidence now. He just finds out the truth, maybe he didn't want to confront it before or didn't remember at all, who knows.
We don't know:
How the friend told the man about the bird, was the whole story "fishy".
Maybe they both knew damn well what kind of bird is albatross.
How fucked up the man was when he was starving, after that and so on, and none of other unknown situations that were going on in his life.
And a lot of other stuff too.
I don't think the mans friend has to be evil either, desperate is desperate.
The riddle can be filled in so that it works just perfectly, and done right it doesn't need any very unusual stuff.
Yes, me being comp AI is not impossible, but very unlikely. The point was precisely that, I have 0 incidents where my chef has lied to me. The probability for that is higher than me being comp AI, but still not too likely. The cook may have been pathological liar, and just lied out of his ass, but all I need is the riddle that works, in my version (if I tell this to my friends maybe), the cook will be honest, and the man will trust the cook should they ask it.
One last thing, "I would never think of my close friend being able to kill my wife, eat her and also feed her to me". How many times and which friends of yours you have been in a situation like that? It's called conflict of interests, he want's to live but it comes with a price. It's easy to give and not take when you are rich and well. I might not do it, but I don't think it takes a devil to do such a thing.
|
If you think the man that shot himself was convinced that he ate his wife, then you are irrational or the guy is irrational
|
|
|
Because the man is blind so he didn't know he ate his wife and his conclusion was irrational. If you believe he came to this irrational conclusion then you are irrational whether he did come to the conclusion or not.
|
So what can blind people know, figure out or conclude? Nothing?
|
...
The simple fact that the two soups taste different is not enough to conclude that he ate his wife. Any conclusion that he formed may have been right (depending on author) but it was still irrational thinking.
|
What the hell are you guys quibbling about.
Its a story that we are supposed to find the answer to by asking questions. Obviously flashback is not a psychologist (althougth he may be taking a class), nor is he going to psycho analyze us because of the questions he is asking.
He just provided a stupid game for us to play that he found fun. Who cares if there is no psychology involved. Who really gives a shit if he ignored your question because it had to do with psychology. It was a fun game to play, and thats that.
Obviously there can be multiple interpretations to what happened, but there is a story and we are supposed to figure out what happened by asking questions. WHO CARES IF ITS NOT EVEN FUCKING PROBABLE. AND WHO CARES IF ITS NOT EVEN FUCKING RELATED TO PSYCHOLOGY. IT WAS FUN, it induced 335+ posts and it was the best thread on the site since the korean dream team one.
so end the mindless bickering. All i see is mynock flaming flashback because he ignored the psychological aspects of the game. Well, if this were psychology class, and he were our teacher, you could take this before the tenure committee and try to get him fired, but thats not the case here.
the fact that he ignored your questions was more rude than ignorant....bringing in psychology with a forum of 120 active users at a time is difficult, especially for someone who is just taking the class.
chill guys, its just fun.

how sad, the faster growing thread on the history and its about a suppoused riddle that lacks of any intelligence in it.

So then it's not _just_ the simple fact now is it? Now you're using your brains (maybe)?
Also now suddendly it was not about him being blind? You still don't know why it's irrational, you just like to think so. Oh well... gl hf

i misses this thread, so i started at page one, after some pages i already thought the man was blind, so he didn't know he ate his wife...but i was @ page 11 (or something) and it ends @ 17, and then bigballz guessed it too my english sux a bit sorry :-)
|
Lemmee get this straight. They had a boating accident....meaning they had to swim to shore somehow...meaning the wife got to shore somehow.
Err I think if I was the husband I'd know that my fucking wife got to shore and was alive. I mean she did make some swimming noises or something.
Or did buddy there kill her right at the boating accident thinking ahead that the island had no food source and drag her dead carcass back to shore....afterwards telling him she died. Yeah right. This makes no sense.
Am I totally off? wtf?
|
Dont know if this already was posted, dont have the energy to read all of the pages... But did he want a last meal?
|
Haha tango, the answer has already been found

Albatrosses and wives taste the same. I've tried it.

Wtf are you talking about? Read all of the posts that tell you why it is irrational if you still don't understand because I don't fell like repearing it

did the mans wife commit suicide?
did she drown in an accident?
did the man want to follow his wife into death?
|
Did InsanitY read the thread?
If he did not, should he just be forced to stick a fork in his own eyes, eat his girlfriend and a bowl of albatross soup?
If he doesn't kill himself afterwards, are we allowed to kill him?
|
Now that im home I was about to get technical to proove Mynock wrong but after I read BigBall's post, I don't think I have to anymore._.;
logic.
|
His wifed died out at sea and the albatross reminded him of it so he became depressed enough to end his life?

flashback21:The riddle is to obserse the process the brain process of elimination and to examine process order D:~ ^-- Ok that one doesn't even make sense, but we understand what you were TRYING to say.
flashback21:it is an _educational_ riddle
flashback21:sorry this goes really deep
flashback21:we are studying psychological riddles
flashback21:Psychological Riddle
I must say after BigBalls post it has crossed my mind that you might leap at the opportunity to take it as your dry way out of the water, but then again I also thought you might wanna reconsider it knowing what crap u've blabbered here about before. Since you DID take the first option however, I feel - even tho I consider it weakness from my side - entitled to remind you about what a pathetic mental midget you really are.
Enjoy the experience.

"A man walks into a wall then stabs himself with a knife. What happened?"
He saw a crack on the wall and realized that the crack was not straight but jagged and it reminded himself that he was gay(crooked) thus stabbing himself because he couldn't live with the moral terror that his mother would find out and kill herself(she specifically said, "If i had a gay son i'll kill myself) so he killed himself.

Mynnock is a hot head. He is also right in about everything he posted. If the riddle was just meant to be fun, why mention (pseudo)psychology at all? And he cought you in that last post, flashback. Still, the riddle was fun.

wtf are you retarded? We are doing these kinds of riddle in psychology so i put "psychological Riddle". and read my posts u idiot, it says the riddle has >NOTHING< to do with psychology, the questions asked are.
dude seriously, this forum is like filled with retards. this is really frustrating and im a really bad mood if u didnt mean any harm.

That's interesting.
I did read your posts flashback, from wich I got the impression you were against flaming. I mean, that is the reason you ignored Mynock, right? I sense a lack of coherence in this last post of yours.
I don't have anything against a little flaming myself. It stirrs things up, and keeps out of forums people who take themselves too seriously.
It's not just the riddle that hasn't got anything to do with psychology. People's questions and answers to the riddle haven't either, unless in the banal and uninteresting sense that whatever behaviour people (or animals) produce is psychological. If this is what you mean, all topics in this or any other forums are "psychology".
If you're not using psychology in the uninteresting sense, you must mean that there is a psychology theory you have learned in your class whose implications are specially present in people's questions concerning the riddle. This is where I break it to you: your teacher is bullshiting you. Or you are bullshiting us. If you disagree with me, please feel free to quote a single psychology article from a scientific magazine. Or ask your teacher. I'm waiting.
Hope your mood is better now.
