Shark Attack! [Solved]
« on: August 09, 2005, 05:26:21 am »
My brother told me this one. Well, something like it, anyways.

Imagine yourself swimming in the ocean. Suddenly, 5 human-eating sharks start circling around you! If it wasn't for the gaping cut in your leg, you'd be fine. However, they smell your blood and within a matter of seconds will devour you if you don't do something...

How do you save yourself from being killed/eaten alive?

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Stop imagining you're swimming in the ocean with a huge gaping cut in your leg being circled by 5 man-eating sharks.

But the question doesn't say you're imagining the sharks, just swiming in the ocean.  Therefore, since you're not in the ocean, neither are the sharks.  I'd say: GET OUT OF SEA-WORLD!

Silly iago, it implies it does.  Sharks can't smell blood if you're not in the water, which means they must be sharks in the ocean you're imagining you're in, which means they aren't there (except in your head).

The answer is obviously "do something"

Those kinds of riddles don't work when you can re-read them.
