Bar of Gold
#15
RE: Bar of Gold
The rules also say nothing of just handing him the entire bar on day one to pre-pay the labor for the week. You have effectively paid him the same amount everyday, in advance.

Would you have called 'foul' on that answer? Would I be justified in calling you out for a 'tantrum'?

In your analogy there was no rule for only carrying one item in the boat each trip.

I stand by my contention of a disingenous puzzle.


It's like the 'puzzle' (I'd call it more of a 'riddle' as yours was) that only works orally.

"If you had twenty sick sheep and one died how many would be left?" When orally presented sounds like twenty six sheep. 19 would be the correct answer.

No tantrum. Just calling it the way I see it, as a trick question.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.
