Re: what is the ansion ?

I remember spending aaages figuring this out about 12 years ago.

The question is: "Which door would he say leads to freedom?"

Then you go out the other one.

Edit: Did I ruin the fun Friday game?

i could be wrong but if you ask the man who tells the truth and he says "this one" and you go out the other one you will be deaded.

Re: Waaaasssssuuuuppp and other annoying shite.

Did ye ever run up to a kid in a school yard and roar "ORANGES" into his ear. Or place your hand over his mouth and then kiss the back of your hand before smugly proclaiming "You know when you've being tangoed"?

I did it last week and the guards weren't the least bit impressed.

 

[Mormon Nailer]

A man is incarcerated in a room, out of which there are 2 exits (doors) One of the doors leads to freedom, the other door leads to his execution.
His captors place a doorman at each door. Both doormen know which exit leads to either freedom or execution.
One of the doormen always tells the truth, the other always tells lies.
The incarcerated man is allowed to ask one question only, to either of the doormen. What question should he ask to guarantee that he finds the correct door, which leads to his freedom?

"Which door will the other guy tell me to go through" and then choose the opposite door.

If you ask the guy who's telling the truth which door the other guy will choose, he will answer "the other guy will choose B"
Since the other guy is lying, B is the wrong answer.
So go out door A.

MAN IN BLACK

Really? In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits.​

VIZZINI

For the Princess?​

The Man In Black nods.
VIZZINI

To the death?​

Another nod.
VIZZINI

I accept.​

MAN IN BLACK

Good. Then pour the wine.​

As Vizzini fills the goblets with the dark red liquid, the Man In Black pulls a small packet from his clothing, handing it to Fizzini.
MAN IN BLACK

Inhale this, but do not touch.​

VIZZINI(doing it)

I smell nothing.​

MAN IN BLACK(taking the packet back)

What you do not smell is called iocane powder. It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadlier poisons known to man.​

VIZZINI

Hmm.​

CUT TO:


VIZZINI,

watching excitedly as the Man In Black takes the goblets, turns his back. A moment later, he turns again, faces Vizzini, drops the iocane packet. It is now empty.

The Man In Black rotates the goblets in a little shell game maneuver then puts one glass in front of Vizzini, the other in front of himself.
MAN IN BLACK

All right: where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right and who is dead.​

VIZZINI

But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you. Are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet, or his enemy's?​

He studies the Man In Black now.
VIZZINI

Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I'm not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool; you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.​

MAN IN BLACK(And now there's a trace of nervousness beginning)

You've made your decision then7​

VIZZINI

Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows. And Australia is entirely peopled with criminals. And criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.​

MAN IN BLACK

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.​

VIZZINI

Wait till I get going! Where was I?​

MAN IN BLACK

Australia.​

VIZZINI

Yes -- Australia, and you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.​

MAN IN BLACK(very nervous)

You're just stalling now.​

VIZZINI(cackling)

You'd like to think that, wouldn't you?​

(stares at the Man in Black)

You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong. So, you could have put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you. So I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard which means you must have studied. And in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.​

As Vizzini's pleasure has been growing throughout, the Man In Black's has been fast disappearing.
MAN IN BLACK

You're trying to trick me into giving away something -- it won't work --​

VIZZINI(triumphant)

It has worked -- you've given everything away -- I know where the poison is.​

MAN IN BLACK(fool's courage)

Then make your choice.​

VIZZINI

I will. And I choose --​

And suddenly he stops, points at something behind the Man In Black.
VIZZINI

-- what in the world can that be?​

CUT TO:


THE MAN IN BLACK,

turning around, looking.

MAN IN BLACK

What? Where? I don't see anything.​

CUT TO:


VIZZINI,

busily switching the goblets while the Man In Black has his head turned.

VIZZINI

Oh, well, I-I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.​

The Man In Black turns to face him again. Vizzini starts to laugh.
MAN IN BLACK

What's so funny?​

VIZZINI

I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's drink -- me from my glass, and you from yours.​

And he picks up his goblet. The Man In Black picks up the one in front of him. As they both start to drink, Vizzini hesitates a moment.
Then, allowing the Man In Black to drink first, he swallows his wine.
MAN IN BLACK

You guessed wrong.​

VIZZINI(roaring with laughter)

You only think I guessed wrong --​

(louder now)

-- that's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned. You fool.​

CUT TO:



THE MAN IN BLACK.

There's nothing he can say. He just sits there.

CUT TO:


VIZZINI,

watching him.

VIZZINI

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line."​

He laughs and roars and cackles and whoops and is in all ways quite cheery until he falls over dead.

Re: Waaaasssssuuuuppp and other annoying shite.

hahahah, ah christ, that made me laugh so much at the time, and so much now, as I am sitting in. ON A FRIDAY NIGHT.

Remember the budweiser ad with the clydesdale horses charging through the snow in slow motion, and the camera zooms in on one as he turns around to the other horses and goes "waaaasssuuupppppp" ?

no, me neither. but i often think Batch missed his true calling when he didn't go into advertising.

 

[frona]

Re: Waaaasssssuuuuppp and other annoying shite.

I thought "waaasssssuppppp" was pretty funny, especially the one in the japanese restaurant where the waiter says "Wasabe?"
Course, my TV-free existence means I don't get overexposed to these things, so it's rare they get annoying. Also I don't see other people much

Yeah, I thought the one where yer man and his girlfrined were watching figure skating was cute. I also don't have a telly.

D'you know what was tres annoying though - one summer of my teenage years where every single person I met seemed to do nothing but listen to Offspring and quote Pulp Fiction at each other. Being young sucked. I don't know why people romaticise it.

People who aren't french saying 'tres'?

Re: Waaaasssssuuuuppp and other annoying shite.

i remember a few years my g/f once said "i have to go the the cash mash".

i nearly kicked her in the head.

haven't heard it since

 

[dunderhead]

you shoulda rolled her up in a carpet and thrown her off a bridge

 

[Scientician 0.8]
