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.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't base four when you count:
1 2 3 10 11 12 13 20 21 22 23 30 31 32 33 100 101... and on, only using numbers under 4?

Questions like these don't make a whole lot of sense.

Zoph in the house! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... It doesn't have to make any sense(it's like Cinderella story, it doesn't have to have any sense)

At first, It is just a simple game(it's because too many users here ask this and that, but they can't simply answer the question 1 and 2, don't focus on the story, it's not important)

simply answer like firetail does

1) Elephant
2) Tiger
3) Monkey
4) Peacock
5) Dog



Well, actually the animal already have the meaning behind this (why? because this is my game). OK, this is their true meaning (I keep the elephant until June 27)

Tiger represents money and power.
Monkey represents your son/daughter.
Dog represents your friend/best friend.
Peacock represents wife/husband.
Elephant ????
but still you can make your own meaning(which is not what I mean in this game, but once again sorry for my bad English that makes all of you confuse)

So

In order 1 to 5, which animal will you throw first (pretends that you don't know meaning behind it)

The first animal you throw is the least important to you(for example, if you throw a tiger that means money and power is the least important for yourself)

so, next post please simply answer like firetail. Thx

Since you, uh... Started out by quoting me, I'm kinda wondering if that post was aimed at me.

In that case it was a waste of a post, because I understood all that straight from the OP (I've seen things like these before).

When I said that "questions like these don't make a whole lot of sense", it's because this does not accurately reflect real psychology.
Especially not when you've already given away the "meaning" of four of the critters.

so, next post please simply answer like firetail. Thx
I did; just with a note about why I picked that order. Which has to do with what is dragging down the most, and what would be my preferred company to have left.

Not only Zoph but also for others.

this does not accurately reflect real psychology.


Yes, I make a wrong title, I should just 'little fun game'

and I should just ask 1 question 'order it from 1 to 5'

And I need too improve my English.

Thx.

Btw, can you give me recommendations where to take M.M Master Degree?

Hmm. Well, If I were going to throw one over, I throw the elephant first. There is no possible way, if the ship were sinking, to save it without throwing over the elephant, so if throwing the elephant over wills ave the ship, then I'd do that. In order of importance to me:

1.) Tiger. If it hasn't eaten me yet, it must be special.
2.) Monkey. Out of all of them, (if hte elephant has to die anyway) it's worth the most.
3.) peacock. There are plenty of dogs int he world.
4.) dog.
5.) elephant (I'm getting rid of it because it will sink the ship, otherwise it would be at the top.



Unless of course the ship is sinking anyway, in which case I would throw them all over and swim away with them to avoid the suction that the ship will create... =P

Well. You said that you had the five animals on the ship. But there is one thing that I'm not sure about: What are the ages/sizes/genders of the animals? If it was a female baby elephant and a large male tiger, I would throw the tiger out of the ship. If it was the opposite, I would throw the elephant first. As for the importance:

1.Monkey-they are usually small, which means they are not really heavy
2.Dog-Although I do not like dogs a lot, the dog will still keep the ship floating, even if it is like a German Shepard
3.Peacock-I don't think it is as heavy as a tiger or even an elephant, no matter the size
4.Tiger-As I said, it depends on the size, and I'm thinking that an adult male elephant and baby female tiger are on the ship
5.Elephant-In my thoughts, this is the heaviest animal on the ship

OK, it's a grown-up male tiger. All of the animals are adult.

You can also think like this:

Why not keeping all of them?

Elephant could be useful, it can help you 'ump' the water from the boat with his trunk.
Dog can help you swim to the nearest island.
Monkey can help you grab the coconut in that island.
peacock is a good decoration lolz.
Tiger, it can help you to survive longer in that island, and you will become Tarzan.

There is no right/wrong question, use your imagination, you are free baby! you are free.

this is just stupid


Please don't just say one sentence, why this is stupid?

1st animal would be the Elephant because in my mind that represents stress, a weight bearing down on you... so i would get rid of that

1. Dog (considering it's domesticated) would be the least hassle
2. Peacock would be the easiest to kill and eat
3. Monkey is an overall annoyance, like a little sibling
4. Tiger is 2nd most dangerous so i wouldn't want something that i know can kill me easily
5. Elephant is most dangerous because of trampling and would give the most relief to the weight of the ship

Well, it's both game and 'story' behind it.

It should be a nice game if not any users ask unneeded question like 'is the tiger an adult' or 'how can I throw an elephant, it's too heavy'

Real meaning (this is the real meaning behind the animal, but just pretends that you don't read the bold part below and you don't have to ask why, because this is the exam, you don't ask why this or why that, just try to answer your best):

Tiger represents money and power.
Monkey represents your son/daughter.
Dog represents your friend/best friend.
Peacock represents wife/husband.
Elephant ????


Don't ask why Tiger represents money and power(it's like you have an IQ exam, don't ask why, just answer it)

The game should be like this, order it from 1 to 5. First animal you throw is the least important, for example

1. Tiger
2. Monkey
3. Dog
4. Peacock
5. Elephant

So, it means that money and power(also your son, your friend, and your husband) is least important from the elephant(which I kept the true meaning behind it until June 27).

It doesn't mean you hate or you have to throw away your money, son, friend and your husband in real life, it just a game, but somehow what you choice reflected your trueself, got it now MagiX?

btw, your armatar is so cute.

f the ship really is going to sink, why throw any of them?


Exactly. Psycological games are usually overthought though...

Yay, finally found a net cafe.

The true meaning:

Tiger represents money and power.
Monkey represents your son/daughter.
Dog represents your friend/best friend.
Peacock represents wife/husband.
Elephant represents your parents


Hi, sorry for the wrong title, it should be just 'riddle game' rather than psychological game.

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

This game have one purpose, too reveal your trueself without you notice it (try to ask this question to your friend and see his opinion).

For some of us, money is everything, for me? it's the last, friend is the 1st.

I'm far away from my home, I born in Indonesia, now in China. When I came here, I was so excited and forget my family so quickly. But no matter how good your friend, your parents is the most one that loves you, even sometimes they angry on you without reason or doing things we don't like.

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

I hope this thread useful.

Thx for all your comments and critics.

lol -- hated the monkey for annoying, mischevious, cruel, it would always ignore me, and believes acts and persistsw it is the most important of all things and the world if not the universe revovles around it if not out right bow and grovel at its feet when not serving its every desire imaginable -- cast the elephant overboard to begin with [as my rowboat was in ruins (termite eaten and rotting away)] to save the boat - most important dog as always kind (in all ways); loyal, trusting forgiving, ever friendly and playful, forever happy never sad - then tiger, with elephant tied with peacock - peacock save no matter what . . . LOL LOL
