One man is a giant, a midget, a fat man, and a skinny man all at the same time.

How is this possible?

(please rate the riddle)

[Guest]

you know what Ledger...

That's what LIS said at the beginning... just in another way!

[Guest]

no he said he simply looked like that next to other people

and the height differences for japan and wales or whatever isn't that much

[Guest]

true... sorry

[Guest]

another riddle awaits

naturally you would think that your version is correct. I'm sure at least 90% of people would, but 90% of people would also be able to admit defeat

closer then what ever lost was tryin to say

a short athlete who plays for either the San Francisco Giants or New York Giants.

He is fat but his hair is thin.

[Guest]

That's pretty much it.

he is the world's shortest giant, the world's tallest midget, the world's skinniest fat man, and the world's fattest skinny man

congrats and welcome to brainden

I too prefer Lost's answer.

He is either a giant or a midget* the only way he could be both is if you said "Compared to midgits, he's a giant, but compared to giants he's a midget.**" Otherwise any reasonable definition of "giant" (eg 'born to two giants', 'taller than average', 'at least 2m tall') would exclude him from being a "midget" ('from a family of midgets' , 'smaller than average', 'less than 4 foot tall')

* {Giants} ∩ {midgets} = Ø

** which is what Lost said, except he said 'compared to japanese people he's a giant...'
