  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I remeber this from Psyktrek 2.0 an interactive psychology course on CD i got from a family member who got a Ph D in psychology and a scienists degree.

I don't trust psychology any more... it doesn't have anything to offer me. Little Hans is a patented stereotype among with the rest of Freud's patinents...

As for me i saw the horse but i did not start weeping! The thing they do with their patients is making them be confronted with the horse, then beat the patient so much until he start cry... I think that is wicked of them! Wolves...

What about a horse like this?

"One day while crawling in the grass a bug was eaten by a horse! it was warm and dark inside the horse so the bug went to sleep. When the bug woke up it was still warm and dark, but, the horse was gone!"

would you weep? would you trust the horse after that?

I am not sure what you are saying here?!? Am i the bug?!?

I know that many psychiatrists sees their patients as "...kryp". Usually these kinds of psychdoctors like Sadomachichism! And these people are the material that is going to save me? No wonder i rely upon Jesus!

The test on Psychtrek included orcs, and i passed the test in the minimum boattrips possible and in one try!

Trust the horse for what? to eat me again?

No, I wouldn't.

An cruel dictator arrests a locks up in solitary confinement the 100 most intelligent people in his country. He explains to them that each of them has been given a tattoo on their forehead, either a white circle or a back one, and that there is at least one white (and one black) in the group.

Each person is given a folder with photographs of the other 99 people, their respective circles clearly shown.

The cells contain no mirrors or polished surfaces, there is no way for any of the people to directly observe their own tattoo.

The dictator explains that every day for the next 100 days, the cell doors will unlock between 4pm and 4:30pm. If on any one of those 100 days all (and exactly all) of the people with black tattoos exit their cells, everyone will go free. If at anytime any person with a white tattoo exits their cell (or even opens their unlocked door), everyone will be executed.

On the 40th day at 4pm all the people with black tattoos open their doors and exit their cells, none of those with white tattoos do so.

Having successfully completed the challenge, the dictator releases all the people.

1) How many people had black tattoos
2) How did the people know, and solve the challenge?

If I'm reading it right: Only 1 person had a black tattoo? In his folder he could see that the other 99 people had white tattoos so he felt save going outside?

Seems a bit too simple.. I'm probably missing something :p

You are on the right track to solving it but no, the answer is wrong.

This may help: Why did the correct number of black tattooed people wait till day 40?

Can the prisoners communicate with each other, inside or outside their cell? Can they pass each other (pages) from the folder?

I always find it very hard to think of solutions when I think that I already know a "correct" one. Could you tell why the 1 black tattoo answer is wrong? Or are there multiple solutions?

No. This is also not a lateral thinking problem, or one for which the answer is based on some kind of trick or play on words.

There is only one solution. Again, why wait until day 40, or to put it more hint like, I can tell you that the people could not have known the correct answer before day 40.

You started with some good inductive reasoning, continue it.

You have a hen, a sack of corn, and a fox.

You must get them all three across a lake - one at a time.

If you take the corn, the fox eats hen.
If you take fox, hen eats corn.
If you take hen, fox doesn't eat corn, BUT if you next take fox, he eats hen when you go back for corn. BUT if you next take corn, hen eats corn when you go back for fox.

How do you do it?


I'll give the answer to the first person to respond - that is, if you don't know the answer already.

First you wait for the chicken to lay an egg. Then you throw the egg and yell "fetch!". You can now safely take the corn to the other side while the fox is busy locating the egg, and consuming it. Even if the fox finishes quickly, it will be full from the egg, and therefore won't eat the chicken while you are away. You then take the fox to the other side and then the chicken. Problem solved.

Peter :cool:
