a, b, c or d?

[Lanakila]

I went with b. The answer they tell you to pick on tests when you don't know the answer.

But what about when you don't know the question.

When in doubt, charlie out... That's what I always heard. I didn't vote tho becaue I had read the thread and I felt c was getting unfairl media attention.....

TEN!

TEN!

My first thought was D so i chose D - anyone got a problem with that?

So why did you pick D? Why not E or P or Z? He said pick one. He didn't say it had to be one of those letters (or a letter for that matter).

[Yamialpha]

Actually I was just messing too. I wanted to see if anyone remembered it from that episode of Numb3rs.

The mathematician (Charlie) watches a witness select a person from a police lineup. He explains that he believes that the system is flawed because the witness assumes they have to choose a person from the lineup just as when one says "pick a number", the other person asssumes it has to be a number from the sequence of numbers. In truth the person said "pick a number", so it could be any number. Some of the logic he uses in his explanation is flawed (come on-it's Hollywood), but the whole "pick a number" situation is interesting.

b

beer

mmmmmmmm...

 

[immortalavefenix]

HAH i knew it... C!

 

[Catholicism]

I pick A.

 

[AdamAnderson21]

I picked "a" because I'm lazy and didn't feel like reading the other choices.

 

[warghaha]

I want to pick 'e' for all of above....
but well, the teacher was so clumsy, so I pick 'd'...done!

 

[Chopinzee]

"or" by definition is inclusive. "xor" would work better.

 

[""]

I went with C. It reminds me of C++ (programming language) and vision as well.

 

[The-Doctor]

I looked at C but went for a in the end since it is the alpha

 

[FiRePrOoF_bUnNy]

C = christine

 

[Rerc]

I picked nothing, the meaning of this thread.
