OK, since this one seems to be dying out I'll point the way. Yes, there are 2, maybe more, ways to read the second line. The intended direction is toward the living. But the duality was intended to make the riddle more difficult.
I'll tell you why people (myself in this case) thought it may have been a trick question. Probably 1/10 of the riddles I've read/heard are trick questions... What is spelled incorrectly in this sentence?, What is the man's last name?, How many days was Moses on the Arc?, etc...
I Dug this one up from the archives, but it's pretty clear the OP will not be around to post the answer he/she had in mind:
I'm also interested if there are any other new ideas for this one. I'd have to say...
I couldn't help but notice that nobody solved this one. The answer is Ohio-5. There is a typo in the OP though. It should be South Dakota-6. The numbers represent the number of states each particular state borders.
I think you're a little off Nikyma. For 2 you put C, meaning B for question 4, meaning there are 2 answer Ds. But you only have 1 D. I originally thought this was right too.
Agreed. Even if the point is that we don't know which pills are sugar and which pills are real, the double-blind test with 200 people will still prove the effectiveness by the number of participants who show the desired effects of the real pill.
