The Return of My Apple Challenge

[AV1611VET]

I create an apple ex nihilo into the palm of your hand.

What evidence would you use to convince your friend I did this?

I create an apple ex nihilo into the palm of your hand.

What evidence would you use to convince your friend I did this?

You'd have to do it first so that I could examine what you did. I can't answer your question until you actually do it.

What evidence would you use to convince your friend I did this?

Without him seeing it for himself or having a video recording of it happening (in which the video would have to be analyzed for any evidence of tampering) there is no evidence. The only evidence would be me claiming you did so.

What evidence would you use to convince your friend I did this?

I'd take him to Guam, where you will repeat the process in front of him.

Failing that, video tapes of the creation process, together with written affidavits from a variety of professional magicians and physicists that they saw the apple materialising would suffice (I guess).

Why would I try to convince a friend of what happened?

I'd be more interested in finding out how you did it.

I can't make this challenge any simplier, Phred.

Oh noes! Will you call my parents?

 

[AV1611VET]

Oh noes! Will you call my parents?

No --- but I'll let your distant relatives know when I visit the zoo next.

 

[MrGoodBytes]

No --- but I'll let your distant relatives know when I visit the zoo next.

Unless you get a complete DNA exchange the day before that, they are your relatives too.

Besides, care to tell me what's wrong with my answer?

 

[AV1611VET]

Nope --- my distant relatives were made upright.

Show me video tapes, written affidavits, or anything else you added to my scenario, in my scenario.

 

[MrGoodBytes]

Nope --- my distant relatives were made upright.

[bible]Ecclesiastes 7:29[/bible]

With a pelvis and backbone made for quadrupedal gait, no less.

Show me video tapes, written affidavits, or anything else you added to my scenario, in my scenario.

Then do it again in front of my friend.

 

[AV1611VET]

Then do it again in front of my friend.

Nope.

 

[Tomk80]

Botched challenge. Again.

When will you finally come up with a relevant analogy, AV1611VET?

[MrGoodBytes]

Nope.

Any particular reason for that? Is creating apples such an exhausting process that you can't do it more than once a week? Are there sanctioned limits on the number of apples you may create?

 

[AV1611VET]

Any particular reason for that?

I can't answer that without adding to my own scenario --- nice try.

The grade stands.

Unlike your analogy.
