S1x's miniature puzzle (Oct.) - includes small survey - VGF

**S1x** · 10-13-2004, 11:44 PM

"The one that struggled drowned, but the one that did nothing survived."

What you are supposed to do is figure out how this situation is possible. You have to find the predetermined answer; creating your own one may be the correct one, but it usually isn't. Get thinking. If you wish, you can also try to "deduce" what the answer might be by asking yes or no questions that could narrow down what the possibilities are. Be creative. (I know there used to be something similar in this style, but I forget exactly what it was...)

Also, I know I've been making several forum games around. I've accidentally let some of the popular ones die out, and some members want me to revive them. So, for people that have seen at least a few of my games, please do this small favor that'll let me know what games to continue and stuff. I'm trying to devote as much time as possible to this stuff, but my free time gets quite limited, especially since I'm a junior now.

Of all the forum games of mine you've seen or played, just rate them from 1 to 10 (1 lowest and 10 highest). Don't worry, I won't get depressed if you rate it low; it'll just push me in a new direction. Also, if you want me to try reviving any of these things, please say so as well. This is the list of what I've made so far:

Many Marios (all versions)
NC Racing
Bingo (all versions)
NC Cards
Identify The User (The Mystery Name)
Ultimate puzzle
Superior puzzle
Match Game

Did they both drown in water?

**S1x** · 10-13-2004, 11:47 PM

It seems one of them survived. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

>.>

I mean, were they both in water at the time?

**S1x** · 10-13-2004, 11:55 PM

Yes they were.

An... interesting suggestion was given to me. Even though it's not correct, I like it:

They were two Pikmin - one was blue and the other wasn't. Heh.

So yeah, they're not Pikmin.

Were they drowning in quicksand?

That's what many people came up with. Although it's already stated that both of them were in water at the time, not quicksand.

Are they old or young?

Quicksand is sand saturated with water. Thus, I figured it might still count.

They're both something air-breathing that's out swimming. One of them gets caught in a net or something and struggles, and can't reach the surface. The other is not caught and doesn't need to struggle.

**S1x** · 10-14-2004, 04:11 PM

^ Nice try, but it isn't that easy.

Questions that can be answered with a "yes" or "no", please.

So, then, technically, yes, they're either old or young. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

**Prince Toad** · 10-14-2004, 04:30 PM

Are they both humans?

**S1x** · 10-14-2004, 04:41 PM

Yes, both humans.

The Doctor · 10-14-2004, 05:00 PM

Is it something to do with the sea that they're in?

**S1x** · 10-14-2004, 07:49 PM

Now those kind of questions are hard for me to answer, due to the awkward way it's structured. A word of advice is to never assume anything not already answered when asking your questions. In a very general sense, though, the answer would be "no".

**Prince Toad** · 10-14-2004, 09:00 PM

Was either one caught in something?

**S1x** · 10-14-2004, 09:02 PM

If you want to think really abstract, one of them was kinda "caught" in something, but for the most part, not really.

**Prince Toad** · 10-14-2004, 09:03 PM

Were other animals involved? (Like, besides the two.)

And was each aware of the other's existence?
