Happy 4000 posts!

Would it have had the same significance if it was expected?

Hmm, that's interesting to know.

Ok, so from what I gather, noone really wanted to have their arm removed, they all consented to have it removed though, and if I remember correctly, there was no medical reason for having the arm removed.

Is that correct?

If it is, I say this is madness. <_<

CK9 · « **Reply #103 on:** December 04, 2005, 09:53:10 PM »

yes

hooman, you're going to need a hint at this rate...

yea, who the hell would have their arm removed if there was nothing wrong with it

wait a min, was money involved?

Was there any sort of requirement to having arms removed?
Was there any sort of incentive to having arms removed?

Is there just plain something about "having arms removed" that I'm not getting here?

Betaray · « **Reply #107 on:** December 04, 2005, 09:59:29 PM »

was the previous owner part of some extreame cult?

CK9 · « **Reply #108 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:01:31 PM »

yes
yes
maybe, I'm not a mind reader
no, beta

Hooman · « **Reply #109 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:06:19 PM »

Ok, I'm really not seeing why there would be a non medical reason for having the arms removed.

Was the arm trapped in something?
Did the arm need to be removed the free the person?

CK9 · « **Reply #110 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:06:42 PM »

no
no

Hooman · « **Reply #111 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:09:19 PM »

Did the arm need to be removed to save anyone's life?
Did the arm being removed save the life of the owner?
Did the arm being removed save the life of the person who removed it?

CK9 · « **Reply #112 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:09:47 PM »

wait, I lost track, which arm is this?

Hooman · « **Reply #113 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:13:03 PM »

Oh my, this is just queer.

Ok, did the receiver have his life saved when his arm was removed?
Did the sender have his life saved when his arm was removed?
Did the doctor have his life saved when his arm was removed?
Did the doctor save his own life each time he removed an arm? (Of the 3 I know about, ignoring parts of his practice irrelevant to the riddle)

Was the sender's life saved by the receiver's arm being removed?
Was the sender's life saved by the doctor's arm being removed?
Was the receiver's life saved when the sender's arm was removed?
Was the receiver's life saved when the doctor's arm was removed?

Is there more than one doctor here?

CK9 · « **Reply #114 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:16:11 PM »

Ok, summary to think about.

Sounds like the 3rd and 4th questions conflict a little. The doctor didn't save his own life when he removed his own arm, but he saved his own life each time he removed an arm. At least that's according to how I inteded the question. Are you sure they were answered correctly?

CK9 · « **Reply #116 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:24:28 PM »

well, I wanted to give you as much information as possible for an answer, and while saying no is true when it applies to his own arm, it is untrue for the other two

Hooman · « **Reply #117 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:28:02 PM »

Ahh, so really if I had asked a slightly different question.

Did the doctor save his own life when he removed the other 2 arms? (not his own)

Was the arm removal done with proper medical equipment?

CK9 · « **Reply #118 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:30:05 PM »

yes

no (VERY important)

Hooman · « **Reply #119 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:36:00 PM »

Were the sender and receiver's arms removed at the same time (or roughly, you know, one after the other)?
Were all 3 lives saved at the same time?

Was the event that endangered lives relating to...
... a high drop?
... an explosion or bomb?
... some kind of man made danger?
... equipment malfunction?
... an accident of some sort?
... bad luck?
... being put purposefully in danger?

Ok, so we have some sort of bad luck accident type of event which required the removal of two people's arms to save the life of all 3, and it was done without proper medical equipment.

Is that correct?

Is the accident related to nature?

CK9 · « **Reply #122 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:41:01 PM »

yes
yes

Hooman · « **Reply #123 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:42:26 PM »

I'm tempted to suggest they were lost at sea and used their arms as fishing bait to catch food and live!

Is that at all similar to the answer?

Were the arms removed as a source of food?

CK9 · « **Reply #124 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:43:43 PM »

yes
yes
