XD Is that the real answer? I figure its got to do with maths because of the rope measurements, but I study arts not engineering and I don't know how to apply it >_<

, that riddle is quite old! I use to use it when storytelling.

But putting it in a primary school quiz? Nah... don't think would be a good idea.

Anyone knows the answer?

"The man who hanged himself

There's a large wooden barn. The barn is completelly empty except for a dead man hanging from the middle of the central rafter. The rope along his neck is 3 meters long and his feet are 1 meter off the ground.

The nearest wall is 6 meters away from the corpse. The man hanged himself"

BTW, they forgot to put a very important hint (highlight if you can't figure it out)

"The ground is a bit wet.... strange."

(fuck it, there's no font with the same color of the background layout) :mad:

That one is a classic puzzle, the "wet" ground gives it away.

Anyway, I can't believe idiot parents are saying things like:

"I had to sit down with my young child and explain suicide and what it meant."

Wow, how terrible for her, she had to actually sit down and talk to a child to explain something that she probably should have explained anyway....

It seems to me that when a child is confused in a bad way due to ignorance, it is the parents fault that they did not educate the child properly. In fact, I find it laughable how the retarded parents of today expect the world to be all "harm-less" for their children, when the idea is for them to prepare their children for real life, which as we know, is a female dog.

Parents of today, tch. :lame:

Chibi K:
Wet ground implies water. One of the form water takes is solid and can be stood on. Pretty common lateral thinking solution.

EDIT: Gawddamnit, I actually did not see the small text by Eczema. My bad.

Poor Eczema.

My hope for the generation coming up dries up just a little more.

Poor Shiny. Unable to completely read posts before posting and making a fool of himself. Moreso.

And I weep for nights on end. I still think you're ignorant though.

Reminds me of first grade, when the teacher made sure to tell stories about death and a mechanical bird, a superhero who didn't know how to read and died on a fire (with drawings of the carbonized fellow), about a kid who got his tounge removed for speaking to the king, and the like...
