Would it have saved lives if the doctor had chosen to remove his arm instead?
Would the removal of the doctor's arm prevent him from doing something to save lives that the other two couldn't do?

yes

Do the above two questions relate to why the doctor later removed his own arm?

CK9 · « **Reply #130 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:56:06 PM »

yes, in a way

Hooman · « **Reply #131 on:** December 04, 2005, 10:56:47 PM »

Did the doctor remove his own arm in a way of saying thanks to the other two people?

Did the doctor remove his own arm for any sort of medical reason?
(And why the heck would the doctor remove his own arm, and do it with proper medical equipment. Why not get another doctor to do it.)

Do I need to guess the natural event to solve this riddle?
Was the natural event at sea?
Was the natural event on land?
Was the natural event underground?
Was the natural event in the air?
Was the natural event in space?

Were they stuck on a raft?
Were they stuck on some other floating object?
Were they stuck on an island?

Did they come from a ship?
Did they come from a plane?
Did they get swept into the sea some other way?

Did the doctor remove his arm out of some kind of promise?
Did the doctor remove his arm out of some kind of necessity? (not including a promise type of scenario, which I don't consider necessary)

Ok, was the promise used to get the other people to agree to have their arms removed?

So far I get that the 3 were stuck in a raft at sea, and two of them had to get their arms removed for food. The doctor made them some kind of promise, and later removed his own arm because of it. The removal of the two arms saved all their lives.

Is that correct?

Did the doctor directly promise to remove his own arm?
Was the promise something else that could be fullfilled by the removal of an arm?

CK9 · « **Reply #138 on:** December 04, 2005, 11:17:11 PM »

I don't need to answer anymore questions, you have the jist of it

The three were on a ship at sea when a storm hit. They were the only three survivors on the only life raft that wasn't destroyed as the ship sank. They were at sea for days when they made a pact that they would each remove an arm so that they could eat, as they had only water in the rations locker below a raft bench. The other two went first, as the doctor was the only one who could do it safely. Before the doctor's turn came, they were rescued. The doctor, being a man of his word, later amputated his arm and sent it to the others to show that he kept his promise.

Ok, I get it. But that's just sick.

Couldn't the other two people have understood? That's more than a bit odd.

Btw, I've heard stories of people being lost at sea like that. But they only cut off their fingers, and then used them as fishing bait. And only one joint at a time too.

CK9 · « **Reply #140 on:** December 04, 2005, 11:21:42 PM »

well, that's not the point. The point was the doctor was a man of his word, and for him to be able to sleep at night, he needed to do it, so

Betaray · « **Reply #141 on:** December 05, 2005, 12:47:33 AM »

I couldnt sleep at night with only one arm, hell its hard enough wakeing up and not being able to feel my arm because I slept on it (ever happon to you? its freaky!!)

Hooman · « **Reply #142 on:** December 05, 2005, 12:51:49 AM »

Yeah, I'd personally rather break a promise than cut off an arm. Especially if there isn't much point in cutting it off. I would have thought the arm amputation for food would be conditional on them not getting rescued. And how would they stop the blood?

Well, I guess that's why it's considered a bad thing to make oaths.

lmao, I haven't seen that in well over a year, we had that posted at another forum I go to, it was pissing me off, 'cause I understood what it was dependant upon, but there was a part I didn't get

Hooman · « **Reply #148 on:** December 06, 2005, 07:05:06 PM »

Heh. That was dead easy to figure out. Interesting though I guess. I got it after like 2 or 3 dummy tries to see what pattern was showing up.
