The soup had mind-control serum in it and the other guy told him to shoot himself?
The soup had acid in it and he wanted to end his misery?
He ticked off the Dark Archon sitting behind him? (don't feel like you have to answer this unless it IS the answer)

Did the other guy eat any?

Post by: Hooman on November 30, 2005, 06:02:33 PM
Yeah ok, this is just odd. I don't see how you can make any sense in just up and shooting yourself for any reason, never mind it being because he had some turtle soup. But then I'm rather against the idea of suicide. And this is CK9 after all. But still, I think your riddle makes no sense!


Would he have shot himself over any other kind of soup?
... beverage?  :P
... food?  :P


Is this "turtle" soup really made with turtles?
Is there any other significant ingredient in the soup?

Ok, there is more significance to one part of the turtle than the others, but none of the turtles anatomy that I've named are of any significance. Doesn't seem like I forgot any of it though.

I also noticed two seperate questions that only got one answer above. (on the first page)

Is it important that there are 2 people in this riddle?

I also noticed that question about him expecting something else than what he got. Sounds important. I think CK9 is being really technical on some of his responses in this area.

Also I cut out a few questions that didn't really get an answer or who's answer was irrelevant. I kinda wonder if one of them was on technical grounds though.
Is the wording "bite" in the question of any importance? (As in, is there a reason for this word as opposed to "he consumed his first small portion of")

Title: Turtle Soup
Post by: Hooman on December 04, 2005, 11:15:06 PM
Well, it's just really odd since you said he took one bite and then shot himself. But to have eaten both soups, which were mixed together seems a bit odd. How can he do that while only taking one bite of soup? I just don't get it. I'm just wondering if the riddle is phrased correctly.

Did he realize what he was eating when he ate the kid/spouse soup?
Did he realize he ate kid/spouse soup when he ate the other soup?

Hmm, still gotta figure out the other person.

Did the man shoot himself out of guilt?
Did the man shoot himself to save someone else?

Would you say the man he ate with was a "bad" person?

Title: Turtle Soup
Post by: Hooman on December 04, 2005, 11:27:40 PM
Oh typo. I meant to say two soups that weren't mixed together. Which is why I'm confused about the whole deal with taking one bite and shooting himself.

Ok, so the man ate his kid/spouse in soup form. Then later ate the other soup and realized what the first soup had been. Then he shot himself out of guilt.

Is that correct?

Is the significance of the shore-side restaurant that they have turtle soup for sale?
Is there other significance to the restaurant?

Is the man he ate with the grim reaper?  :o

Ok, did the kid/spouse die of natural causes?
Did the kid/spouse die other than by someone's hand?

Was the soup made out of kid/spouse made out of some sort of respect for them?
Was the soup made out of kid/spouse made because there was available meat to eat?
Was the kid/spouse killed for food?

Was the man fed kid/spouse soup by someone who didn't want him to know what it was?
Was it assumed he'd know what was in the soup when he ate it?

Was the manner of death for the kid/spouse important?

Gah. Why would he be fed that stuff and have that hidden from him.... Very odd.

Is the importance of "turtle soup" that he was told something else was turtle soup, and when he recognized the difference in tase, he realized what the first soup was?
Is there other significance to "turtle soup"?

Hmm. And now I gotta think what the significance of the restaurant and the man is. :(

BTW, I told Eddy on IRC before that there was a connection between this one and the other in the answers.

Gah. When Eddy asked on here if there was a connection between the two, you said irrelevant! Bah, ok. I'll take what I can get.

So is the only thing left to figure out who the man he ate with was?

Edit: Err, who he ate with was and the significance of the restaurant?

There is one question I'm very dissapointed that hasn't come up
Title: Turtle Soup
Post by: Hooman on December 04, 2005, 11:51:16 PM
Well, if the riddle is why he shot himself. The answer would seem to be out of guilt.

Do I need more details about the restaurant to answer the riddle?
Do I need more details about the man he ate with to answer the riddle?
Do I need more details on something else to answer the riddle?

Would any other type of restaurant have worked?

Do I need to know more about why the man felt guilty?
Do I need more details about the soup to answer the riddle?
Do I need more details about the gun to answer the riddle?

Do I need more details about anything other than the gun to answer the riddle?

Is the gun (at least) part of the reason why the kid/spouse is dead?

Grr. That's more taunting than helping.

Did the kid/spouse die at the restaurant?
Did the kid/spouse die in a restaurant?
Did the kid/spouse die at sea?
Did the kid/spouse die on a beach?

Was there anything special about the ammo in the gun?
Was there anything special about the gun physically?
Is there something special about where the gun has been?

Has the gun been in the sea?
Is there anything important about what the gun has killed? (Not talking about the man who shot himself here)
Is the gun wet?
Is the ammo wet?
(I know, I'm grasping there)

Was the gun fired at something that was responsible for the kid/spouse being dead?

Damn you!

Has the gun been in the possesion of the dead person?

Is the amount of ammo in the gun important?
Is the size of the gun important?
Is the purpose of the gun important? (It's physical design)

Was the gun designed to kill a special type of animal?

(Before the man shoots himself...)
Is the gun missing one bullet?
Is the gun missing two bullets?
Is the gun missing three bullets?

Is the number of bullets missing important?
Is the total number of bullets in the gun important?
Is the total number of bullets the gun can carry important?

Am I correct in assuming this gun carries bullets?

Title: Turtle Soup
Post by: Hooman on December 05, 2005, 12:18:04 AM
Is the ammo lethal to people?

Is the total capacity of the gun 6 or more?
Is the total capacity of the gun 8 or more?
Is the total capacity of the gun greater than 10?

(You know, I could almost swear someone asked about the ammo before. Guess I was wrong).

Is the gun a flare gun?!  :o  
Title: Turtle Soup
Post by: CK9 on December 05, 2005, 12:19:56 AM
yes, it is a flare gun :P
Title: Turtle Soup
Post by: Hooman on December 05, 2005, 12:20:53 AM
Dont flare guns only contain one round?

If so, was the gun empty when the man shot himself?
 
Title: Turtle Soup
Post by: Hooman on December 05, 2005, 12:26:00 AM
Ok, I'm starting to think that last question may be irrelevant.

So, should the person who died as sea have had that flare gun?
Is the reason they're dead because (possibly) they didn't have the flare gun on them?
Is it the man's fault or the gun's fault, or the location of the gun the fault of the person being dead?
 
Title: Turtle Soup
Post by: CK9 on December 05, 2005, 12:26:51 AM
yes, they only hold one round at a time

no, it was loaded, which is odd..

anyway, as with the other riddle, they were out on a ship and a storm came, yadda yadda yadda.  The Man's spoce/son died after a bad blow to the head from a random piece of metal.  The other guy said, "You've been through a lot, get some sleep, I'll take care of the body andcatch some turtles to make some soup."
Immediately after being rescued (strenge, eh?) they went to get a bite to eat in the shore-front resturaunt.  When he ate the soup, the man realized it was his loved one in the first one, pulled out the flare gun, and shot himself (ouch!)

Geeze, and we were supposed to guess all that? (If you answer yes or no, I'm gonna kill you!  <_< )

So what was the significance of the gun then? Just that this happened at sea? Geeze, even the answer leaves me with questions.  :blink:
