Does the pilot realize polar bears are in the area, but can’t see any because of white-on-white? (even though he saw the hiker)
No.
- Are the animals wolves?
- Would the hiker be in the same trouble with a different-color outfit?
- Would the pilot recognize the hiker’s trouble with a different-color outfit?
- Did the hiker get on the trail with the intention of taking a recreational hike?
All yes.
So, I’m a little confused:
But the pilot also sees wild wolves endangering the hiker.
- Am I misunderstanding things?
The question was, “How did the pilot know the hiker was in danger?” and it seems to me that the pilot knows this because of the wild wolves endangering the hiker.
-
Is that how the pilot knew the hiker was in danger?
-
In my quote above, did I ellipsis some key information? (I tried not to).
-
Is there any word in the original clue that comprises wordplay?
- No you are not misunderstanding. Yes that is how the pilot knew the danger
2.Yes. - No.
- …
Ah, the white pack is ‘a white pack of wolves’.
Yes. You got it. A pack of Arctic wolves.
Sigh… gotta watch for those double meanings.
Any takers?
Doesn’t really fit the nature of the OP’s intentions, but maybe it wouldn’t be bad for somebody else’s '16 or '17 thread; that’s seven.
I think I know one person who is going to try it.
I’m.
Tell us yours to give us an idea of what is good.
A man is found dead in a room, hanging from a noose attached to the light fixture. The room is locked from the inside, and the man’s feet are four feet above the floor. There are no other objects in the room. How did this happen?
It’d prob’ly ha’e fo’c’s’l’ in’t.
-
Was it suicide?
-
Is he hanging by his neck with his feet dangling below?
-
Was anyone in the room as he was dying or when he died?
He was standing on a block of ice or CO2 or other substance that evaporates.
I think that was an Encyclopedia Brown case.
Yeah, I never said it was original. Quartz got it.
Another howdunit: some years ago on New Year’s Eve, a man fled a jealous lover and was put up for the night in the guest chamber of a set of mutual friends. It was the nicest room in the house, and featured among other things a very solid door with an excellent lock.
The man locked the door before retiring for the evening. The next morning he didn’t come down to breakfast and didn’t answer increasingly frantic knocks at the door. When his hosts finally broke down the door, they found the man lying dead in bed. The windows remained whole and locked, and it was clear nobody had entered the room during the night.
How did his lover murder him?
