 Re: Imponderables or ponder this
Yes, the first sentence says "the last man on earth" that doesn't necessarily mean he is the last person on earth so the person at the door must be a woman. To make the knock on the door impossible, you would have to change the word 'man' to 'person' or 'human'.
I found this on a website & thought it was interesting.
While exploring the wild highlands of Scotland, Crazy Rob was captured by hostile wood fairies.
Smazze, the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die.
If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water.
If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil.
Crazy Rob found neither of this options too his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation.
What is the one statement he could make to save himself?
