Default Re: Ambiguous test:

I think that concludes this test.

Dr Stevens predicted that as many people would say the “hunter was wounded” as claimed to come from cities and vice versa, and nothing else. Poll results: 28 from city, 26 hunter got shot. The converse is also true: 12 from country, 14 the hunter couldn’t hit a target, any target.

The grammar error on my behalf was a problem that may have skewed the poll results, but since Dr Stevens was not attempting to predict anything (and I was just testing his prediction) about human nature I would have to say that the results support his prediction as it did that day in class. Fyron without even knowing what could have been the prediction or the intention of this poll you proceeded to shoot it to shreds and reveal enough information that I feel it must be concluded early. Thanks a lot, I mean that, in the future before you criticize something that you couldn’t have understood (only I had the knowledge of MY intentions for making the poll), ask what is the purpose.

Lock the thread.

Fyron is an unknown quantity at this point

That would be the alternative purpose I had stated. Hmm... interesting that I understood all angles and presented both of the relevant ones. True, most of my Posts focused on one angle, but that was the angle that had problems with it.

*Fyron tragically misses several shots fired from his rifle at the gelatinous Puke as he shambles out the door.* Unfortunately, the shots hit some city people.

Hunters shooting is usually tragic. (I'm on the animals' side... those poor deer, murdered by those evil hunters! ) If the hunter missed the target, that would be a GOOD thing. On the other hand, if the hunter shot himself, well... it's debatable whether that's tragic.

I forgot that you have the ability to read my mind, and in your all powerful mind is stored the knowledge of everything anyone can ever consider from every point that could ever be posed. Pat yourself on the back some more, really you are one in a million. I feel truly fortunate to have you nearby. But next time that you want to demonstrate your superiority for me try to tone it down some, you might bruise your back in the process. Are you smart enough to read between the lines on this one baby? What? Narf, where is the popcorn, I will take some this time.
