RE: Philosophical riddle challenge: One of the toughest and smartest riddles I know. Solution will be revealed in 5 Days.

in #blog7 years ago

:) hard one!

I give it a try:

"You drink when you're thursty. If you become thirsty at the West bank, then drink from the West bank, if you become thirsty at the East bank, drink from East bank and if you become thirsty at the middle, drink from the middle."

Though my answer is neither particularly philosophical nor devilish:)

Sort:  

The river is very close by and the debater is asked to refresh himself after the long journey. @pasanac actually had the the best line of thinking in the comments below. Give it another try. The answer is a genuine mic drop kind of an answer.

You drink where the water hits your lips.

:)

Nope. I'll give you a hint. Try to take down the question from the root instead of giving a reactionary answer. Try deconstructing the question.
This might stimulate your mind a little: https://steemit.com/philosophy/@vimukthi/the-toughest-and-most-profound-q-and-a-between-a-genius-king-and-an-even-wiser-priest-the-best-answer-to-the-question-who-are

my mind just drifts away and maybe I will dream an answer because the conscious me does want to distract itself from this topic. So I clicked your link and from there to the one of @creatovert where I left a comment and my own introduction article:):

Perhaps I can get myself engaged more deeply, but it is a tough work, man- can't do it without ful devotion:)
