I will make a little game here.

This is a psychological question, but you don't have think too much about it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

You are in a boat with your friend(your friend is animal, you have 5 animals). Tiger, Elephant, monkey, dog and a peacock.

Your ship is going to sink in 10 minutes.

Question 1:

You have to choose which one of them you want to left behind, the 1st animal you want to throw away? and Why?

Question 2:

In order 1 to 5, which one is the most important to you, and least important?

======================================================================

If anybody know already about this question already, please don't answer the true meaning behind it, I will 'reveal' the answers on June 27, here and on other thread

There is no right or wrong answer, all answer is acceptable.

This is a copy of one of my post from 'Who is your favorite mod?"

You can answer here or on that thread.

Thx for participating.

No, don't do this

1.) Tiger (wild)
2.) Elephant (a burden)
3.) Peacock (lies in beauty)
4.) Monkey (distraction from task)
5.) Dog (loyalty through hardship and wrongs)


I mean, each of that animal already has a meaning behind this, I see many users here are becomming more confused. So I will give the 'answer' now, rather than June 27.

==============================================================

Tiger represents money and power.
Monkey represents your son/daughter.
Dog represents your friend/best friend.
Peacock represents wife/husband.
I will keep the Elephant untill June 27.


=============================================================

it's not philosophical, my bad English again, it should be psychological.

Sorry for keeping the elephant (If I reveal all of them, there will be no fun)

So anyone can guess what is elephant represents?

Remember, in order 1 to 5, the the 1st one is the least important to you.

Thx goumas for participating and also thx for other users.

I see now that i completely understood you, and that it is you who misunderstand me. I know they have meanings, but i described what i see them as.

Yours don't even make sense. Also, you said in the beginning that they were all friends. Did you mean companions?

yes companions, once again sorry for my bad English that makes a lot of users here confused and make the fun go away.

but i described what i see them as.

Yes, it's my fault again, I should find some way to 'ask a question' wihtout 'reveal the true meaning behind the animal' but without making the users confused or unsure about what I ask. Thx

Also, you said in the beginning that they were all friends. Did you mean companions?

OK, this is just a story(the story is not important, don't take it literally or word by word) just simply answer it. I will give 'other 'real' story behind these animal on June 27.

If it is so deep of a question that it needs a story behind it, then the only way to answer is to have heard it previously. Why try to get us to answer something if we are answering the wrong question?

what is 2+2?

There is no right or wrong answer. All answer is right.

you mean 2+2 = 4?

I know you make you own meaning

1.) Tiger (wild)
2.) Elephant (a burden)
3.) Peacock (lies in beauty)
4.) Monkey (distraction from task)
5.) Dog (loyalty through hardship and wrongs)


But, it's already has a meaning behind it.

I have a meaning behind mine too.
Ever hear this?:
"More than meets the eye."
The secret was that i was asking you 2+2 in base-4.
2+2 base-4 = 10

base-4?

I don't know much about math.

"More than meets the eye."

I don't understand this? an idiom?

Quintuple post, how does that ever happen?

The meaning is by choosing which animal to throw off first by it's reputation, amirite? If not, i'm going to stick with my answer in the first page.

Must.... Resist.... GLaDOS quote....

Btw, trick questions are mean.

Now, completely ignoring the "hidden meanings" that's already been revealed...

Elephant (heavy critter)
Tiger (also heavy critter, and a bit too meat dependant)
Monkey (I really don't like monkeys all that much)
Peacock (I have nothing against peacocks, I just like dogs more)
Dog (as said above)

... Why do I have a strange feeling elephant is "yourself" or something like that. >_> Questions like these don't make a whole lot of sense.
