slacker Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 One morning a woman wrote the same note to three different people. The first was a bank robber, who laughed at the note and threw it away. The second was an Australian, who also threw the note away. The third was a reverend, who was very sad to received the note. What was happening? Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Was this one SINGLE note that passed through the hands of 3 different people? If so, did it pass from person to person in the order you typed? Or were these 3 separate notes with the same message on each to each person? Was the note specifically intended for each of the 3 people? I think I'm onto it....but I want to see some Yes/No's first.... Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Did the woman personally know all three? Did the woman personally know ANY of the three? Did the woman's relationship to the three have any bearing on their reactions? Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Were there more than 10 words on this note? Were there less than 5 words on this note. Quote Link to comment

I actually like trying to figure this stuff out. Besides, it would be more work coming up with good 'decoy' questions that would make it sound like I wasn't on the right track for $1 huskerbuck. Don't get me wrong....I like that I can get one here and there, just saying that it's not worth cheating someone out of. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 And right now I'm totally not on track. Put it this way, in my scenario I had the Australian as a garbage man. Did the woman write the exact same note to more than just these three people? Were all three of these people men? Quote Link to comment
slacker Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I'm just saying, you're either really good at these or are onto my source... Quote Link to comment

cmb23 Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I'm just saying, you're either really good at these or are onto my source... And I'm just saying that there is ABSOLUTELY no need to speculate such a thing. Like I said. If you were giving $100 cash or something it would be tempting to cheat....not for a huskerbuck. Please look through my record and I think I show I'm pretty up front and considerate of others on here valuing their opinions, suggestions and thoughts. Well....except for Husker Big Guy. If need be, I'll concede this one even if I am working towards an answer. However right now I have no clue...telling me that she wrote it to more people is a yes, but right now I still don't know what difference that clue makes. Quote Link to comment
slacker Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Alright, I believe you... I've had people cheat before, and they were obvious about it, they answer word for word how I have it, silly, and as you say, pathetic. Takes the fun out of it. What do you mean it's not worth a husker buck??? They're worth their weight in gold. Quote Link to comment

Back to the matter. Is the bank robber in jail? Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Was it a wedding invitation? The fact that it's more than 10 words throws me off...trying to think of something simple, but >10 words makes that tough. A wedding invitation could easily be more than 10 words, the bank robber ...could be "busy" I guess? The australian...could be too far away? And the reverend...could be disappointed that he wasn't asked to actually marry the couple? Haha...yeah, sounds kinda ridiculous now, definitely some loose ends...so.... Okay, better question: was it an invitation of some kind? Quote Link to comment
