You forgot to ask a question Muzozavr.

Dizzy1 wrote:Ok we know there is an arm in the box. But we are supposed to guess what happened. Right? And I have no idea what to ask, but I'll try.

Right!

That's exactly the way it's supposed to be. Even if you have no idea what to ask, just do, just try!

And it's logical too.

1. How far away did A, B and C, live from each other?

Although this is not really a y/n question, it's a very good question though. It's an important question for this story too, for if they all were living in the same town, this riddle shouldn't make any sense. They lived pretty far from each other, let's say more then 1000 km.

As for this is not a y/n question, it's possible to get the same answer with a few y/n questions, that's what matters.

2. Were they Surgeons?
3. Were they all 3 working for the same business/company?
4. Does their business have something to do with the box?
Very good questions too.

Yes, one of them was surgeon, and that has defenitely something to do with the box. About the business/company of the others doesn't matter.

5. Was the box/hand/burial a personal revenge for one of them?

Not really a revenge, but someway it was to equalize or make balance.

How's that for questions?
As I said before: Perfect!!! Mwa

you two just crack me up....lol

Thank you!

As I said before: I really like to ask questions about your riddle but I think it's a good idea to wait with that, until my riddle is finished. Now and then an "off-topic" post between it, really doesn't matter. No single problem! But I think, two long stories at the same time, that will be a bit confusing. Maybe there will not be asking questions about my riddle then. And if there are no questions, there will be no story.

But let me tell you: I really like your riddle and I'm sure it will be interesting.

Funny how you two chat all the time but never invite any of us to join you

So cute

You know Robyn, I think this chatting is just like sending PM. If it would depend on me, we all write everything on the forum, open and clear, no secrets. But unfortunately, not everyone has that opinion.

Mabye before A got it the got who packed it got his arm jamed in it and it broke off the person

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 12:25 pm

Oh I see, you want the who, the what and they why...ah--ha

Did the arm belong to a man?
Was it diseased? as to why it was amputated

rescuefire · Post by **rescuefire** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 1:17 pm

ROFL!!!!

Just invite me to chat once in awhile and I'll be happy hehehe

No Sir, I didn't!

It was a new post...not an edit. But thanks for keeping an eye on me!

dizzy1 wrote:1. How far away did A, B and C, live from each other?

Yes, this was an incorrect question. I will not do this in the future and please accept my apology.

dizzy1 wrote: 2. Were they Surgeons?

Same with this one.

NEWS FLASH!!! I was just playing around with rescuefire.

I thought what she wrote, was FUNNY!

I wasn't in the least bit upset, but in a silly mood.

And Robyn, send me a gmail and remind me of your chat name. We need to talk about when we're going to see Pandybear.

Mwa! EDIT: Nevermind...I don't need your chat name; I already have it!

Ok, now for my questions: (these are y/n questions)

1. Was the Surgeon the one who cut the arm off?
2. Was the reason the arm was cut off, because that person had more than 2 arms?
3. Was the reason the arm was cut off, because that person was a thief? (they used to do that in the olden days)

2. EEEEWWWWW
3. GOOD question

<sitting here anxiously awaiting the answers>

Peegman: To be honest I've no idea what it means what you were asking. Maybe you or someone else can explain it in easy English. Or, even better, in Dutch.

Monica, Yes it was an arm of a man. And probably it was diseased, but that was not visible. It was just an arm, amputated in a hospital, and the exact reason/disease is not important.

Robyn, we'll think about it.

Juliet

I accept your apology, sure, but actually it was not needed. Your questions were really good!

1 Yes, the surgeon, Mr. A. was the one who amputated the arm.
2

3 No, the reason why the arm was cut off doesn't matter. It was just that they needed an arm for some reason, so they used one from someone who's arm has to be amputated in the hospital.

This is not about answers, it's about questions.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 2:41 pm

2. Was the reason the arm was cut off, because that person had more than 2 arms?

I was going to ask that.

1. Was the arm used in an experiment?
2. Did the amputee grow another?
3. Was the hand still attached to the arm?
4. Is the man who surgically had his arm removed still alive? (may not be relevant) (I'm curious)
5. Are you enjoying keeping us in supense? (again...I'm curious)

6. Was the arm possesed and that's why they cut it off?

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 3:07 pm

1. Was the arm used in an experiment? No
2. Did the amputee grow another? No
3. Was the hand still attached to the arm? Yes
4. Is the man who surgically had his arm removed still alive? (may not be relevant) (I'm curious) Indeed not relevant
5. Are you enjoying keeping us in supense? (again...I'm curious)

Well, a little bit maybe, but the puzzle itself is most important and fun to me. Not the story, but the way to think out what to ask (green rock story) and the way to think out good answers, to tell not too much at once so it's too easy, and not too few, so no one doesn't like it anymore.

6. Was the arm possesed and that's why they cut it off?

Actually I don't know what that means but it's not relevant.

The arm itself and what happened before with that arm and with the man who's arm it was, doesn't matter anymore.

It's now important to know what happened before with the three men, and why they did such strange things.

EDIT:

The arm itself doesn't matter anymore, except for:

-The fake tattoo
-It's a man's arm.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 5:40 pm

Question:

1. Did they use the finger prints from the hand for something?
2. If #1 is 'yes', was it slightly illegal.

('slightly' meaning not a big crime, but a small crime)

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 5:47 pm

Sorry but it's no.

Remember, B and C only looked at it, but they did nothing more with it.

Hint: I said it was no revenge, but sort of equalize though. They had an agreement.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 5:55 pm

Grrr! I'm wrong again!

1. Was there anything else of importance in the box, with the arm/hand?

Lutz · Post by **Lutz** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:01 pm

Does/did the arm belong to a famous person?

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:08 pm

Good one Lutz!

Another one:

Did the arm belong to one of the 3 men?

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:13 pm

Juliet: No, the box isn't important anymore either.

Lutz: No, the person from who the arm was is not important.

Juliet again: No, but you're coming pretty close

I may say very close.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:22 pm

Close? Das ist gut!

More:

1. Did the arm belong to one of the 3 men's father?
2. Did the arm belong to one of the 3 men's friend?
3. Did the arm belong to one of the 3 men's relatives?

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:33 pm

Was the fake tattoo a map?

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:49 pm

Juliet, I say it once again, (don't lecture me

) the man from who the arm was is not important. You're close at a different way. Think about that fake tattoo.

Monica, the tattoo was your idea, so you tell me.

In fact the fake tattoo could be a simple fake birth mark.

Another hint: Juliet, your last riddle about how many heads.

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:58 pm

OK but you played along with the tattoo....

I give up........

Marinus wrote:Juliet, I say it once again, (don't lecture me )

Yes, you're lecturing me again!

Tatoo, heads, birthmark, tatoo, heads, birthmark!!!!

Man overboard!

S.O.S. Now I'm REALLY confused!

EDIT:

Questions:

1. Were there more than 4 fingers and 1 thumb, on the hand?
2. Were there less than 4 fingers and 1 thumb, on the hand?

Geez, I don't know what to ask, so these questions probably sound stupid, but my GOSH!!!!

No they are not stupid, the only thing is, you're asking about the wrong hand.

The correct answer is:
On the hands of the three men are together 16 fingers and 4 thumbs. And it really doesn't matter if you ask: how many fingers, instead of asking 2 or more questions.

Please ask questions about the three men instead of the one arm. By example ask: Did they meet each other face to face, and is that important. Answer: Yes they did and it's very important. Please ask about that situation. Start asking more general questions. Like the question: Does it have to do with their profession or such. It didn't. But does it have to do with their......?

Sweet Juliet, Please don't feel sad or upset about it. I can't make such wonderful levels as you make. Finally you get it!!

1. Did A put the "fake birth mark/tattoo" on the arm? Or was it someone else?

2. Did they need to verify that the arm belongs to the correct person?

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 8:44 pm

Muzo: Yes, Yes

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 8:56 pm

For 1: Yes what? Yes A put the fake mark, or yes someone else?

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 9:04 pm

1. Where did they meet each other?

PS. I'm not sad. I just threw a little tantrum and pouted for awhile, but now I'm fine. Thanks!

EDIT: Well POOP, I didn't ask a y/n question!

Ok, I'll try again:

1. Did they meet in the hospital?
2. Did they meet in school?

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 9:07 pm

I put the fake tattoo on the arm in the box.

1. Will the three men ever meet again after the box is buried?
2. Did the three men ever exchange any money after the deed was done?
3. Forgot to ask...did all three men really have a total of 16 fingers or were you just kidding about that?

I guess that's two questions in one but I think you can handle it.

Your driving me mad....mad I say...

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 9:46 pm

Muzo, sorry I read to fast. Mr.A put the fake tattoo. And both questions are very good!!!!

Juliet,

they meet each other at a much more nice/fun place then the both you mentioned.

Monica, very good questions!!!

1 Forget about B and C, but A is supposed to meet the others never again!!!!!

2 No, when it was done, it was done.
3 To be a little bit more clear: A had 2 arms, B and C only one!!

uneekrose · Post by **uneekrose** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 10:32 pm

Are ya ready for this

B and C were siamese twins who had five arms and A was the sugeon who surgically removed it and unjoined the twins.

Dizzy1 · Post by **Dizzy1** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 10:41 pm

Cute dance!

Aren't Siamese Twins conjoined? Then how could they send a package to each other?

EDIT: But they could have moved apart, after the surgery!?!?!? And maybe they had the tattoo on the arm which conjoined them!?!?!?
