Oh. 'wrong', am I? NONSENSE.The answers Corran and myself gave with perfectly adequate answers to the riddle you gave. I cannot help it if you THINK there is only one answer, but unless the riddle is more specific that is wrong and there are several. It should have been specified that the wife had let no-one in and that the car was fully enclosed. All you said was that it was not broken into and that could be gotten around loads of ways.
Secondly, the new riddle is for me as much as it is for everyone else. You have no power to specify anything- you post here and it is for everyone.
I hope this is clear to people- it must be accepted that some riddles can be answered in more than one way, and no-one can be excluded from answering. Thank you.
Still wrong , Ush. Let me point it out this way. Lets say for the sake of arguement, in "real life" a woman is found dead in her locked apartment. Now sure "alot" of things "could" have caused her death: like aliens or she died of a heart attack, someone with a key killed her, etc. But the FACT is that she (in reality) only died "one" way. So that would be fact(how she really died). Not open to discussion or debate, she died one way and one way only!
So back to the riddle, it has but ONE answer and your's USH was not correct!
But this ISN'T real life, Omega, it is a riddle. You tell us the situation and we work out an answer from the information provided. If you have left out important information that disqualifies such answers (and you did) then the 'correct' answer is rather moot; that information should have been provided. Riddles must be clear else they have multiple answers. An ambiguous riddle is a poor one if multiple answers are not accepted.
If you can say an answer is wrong because of information you did not give us then any answer to a riddle is pointless because who knows how you might change things once answered?
I will repeat myself- riddles that you only want one answer to MUST be clear, and all relevant information must be provided.
Well, I must say that since the incident described in the riddle hasn't happened in real, then the example with the woman at the apartment is not correct. You cannot compare something that hasn't happened and something that has. In real life, there's only one outcome of an event. But the riddles should have only one answer, I do agree with that.
I think you two argue for nothing, so you could act like mature boys and leave it here.
Now, as for your second riddle, omegaman, I've read it before in Mindtrap but I can't seem to remember it! Dang! It's something weird with the date... Nah, I can't remember.
Edit: I posted that at the same time with Ush, didn't see his post.
No, it cannot be said about most riddles, as you can see every other riddle here has one clear answer. And if you wanted to 'move on' you should have stopped talking about it yourself.
But still, my point has been made. Unclear riddles deserve multiple answers and so long as they fit the facts presented they are all good.
