Tomorrow is a big event at my university. I’d like to make a fun thing where the people of the Board Game society I am in can try to find me for a riddle, kind of a Where is Waldo in a place where there is a crap tone of people to find the NPC that’ll give them a Riddle (Maybe something to win? No idea how I could do that detail)
It doesn’t lead to a destination, and maybe isn’t even a riddle, but a sentence I like is:
Is your answer to this question the same as if I had asked you to give me a dollar?
This is a fun one that can be adapted to all sorts of questions where you want a yes answer.
For me, unless I’m missing something, that’s an easy “Yes”.
If someone randomly asks me for a single dollar they probably need it more urgently than I do. And if it’s some kind of weird scam? I’m still only out $1.
(No, I will not be sending $1 to people that reply to this, but I pre-acknowlege that you’re very clever for thinking of that)
You can use this question with $100 for example.
Sure, asking for a single dollar isn’t the best use of the question. You could ask for anything, not that the recipient would actually deliver on it.
Undecidable
yes,no, maybe, I don’t know, can you repeat the question?Exactly. The correct way to answer is to not “yes” or “no”.
