There's a man who hanged himself in a room. There are no pieces of furniture he could have climbed on. The only things that are on the floor are a bucket and some detergent.

How did he do it?

You can ask questions, i'll answer with yes or no, or tell you if the question is relevant for the case.

A farmer challenges an engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician to fence off the largest amount of area using the least amount of fence.

The engineer made his fence in a circle and said it was the most efficient.

The physicist made a long line and said that the length was infinite. Then he said that fencing half of the Earth was the best.

The mathematician laughed at the others and with his design, beat the others. What did he do?

Bucket & soap relevant?

Is the one with the mathematician a simple concept? i'm overthinking it here.

Did he ask all the people in the world to hold hands and just placed one board somewhere between them, thus covering the Ecuator?

lol

You could technically make a super small circle and say the space in the middle was what is uncovered and everything outside of it has been fenced off.

Ok . I'm taking a stab at yours.

Superman flew to the rooftop, fell through the ceiling and got his cape caught on a 2 by 4, thus hanging himself šŸ˜›

Heheheh

The aqua and the virgo with the crazy conspiracies.

No, he was a normal guy.

šŸ˜‰ they aren't crazy, I thought that was a very rational explanation!!

I would have never gotten the ice!

we virgos don't understand this imagination thing you speak of.

You have a room with one lightbulb. Outside the room there are three switches, out of which only one will power the lightbulb. You are allowed to place any of them in whatever position, and go inside the room once. When you come out of the room, you have to point to the correct switch, without changing anything on the switches.

How do you go about it?

A woman shoots her husband.
Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes.
Finally, she hangs him.
But 5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together.
How can this be?

i just point at any of them. any switch will turn on the bulb šŸ˜‰

another answer is to turn on the light before going in, then turning off when I get out.

Nope, only one of the three turns the bulb on

the second thing makes no sense...you mean you'll flip all the switches on? how will you know which one is it when you go outside

or

Ok, so she's shooting blanks.

And then she holds him underwater (him being the penis) and then she hangs him (again the penis)

Overwhelmed with joy over their kinky shit, they go out and have a wonderful dinner

nope. I simply turn on the switch that is connected to the blub and turn it off when I get out. besides you didn't say if the switches are doing an actual switcharoo while I'm inside

You don't know which switch turnes the lightbulb on.

The switches outside stay in the position you put them in when you enter the room, and remain in that position until you go outside.

And the 4 walls, you trying to lock me up?!?! 😈

Ok hmm.. you can only go in to check the light once?

Yes you can only go inside the room once to check the light. even if it's on or off you should know with certainty which switch turns the lightbulb on.

Before entering the room you can play with the switches any way you want, but without entering the room
