[Action/Video] Shot in the Dark log/ A test of reason. Or psychopathy

Action, Closed - Shot in the Dark



[Two weeks have gone by, which means it's time to catch killers once again. A bandit this time; likely a highwayman. Which means he's probably got his eye on trade routes in and out of the city to rob unsuspecting people with currency in their keep.

Which means Ted's there too, threads on every road as he checks into all of them like security cameras. He's hanging out in the epicenter of all these watchful black tendrils, ready to swat any suspicious arrows should they come flying into the breast of the innocent. And he has a few vials of antitoxin too, should they broach his precautions.

All he had to do was play his least favorite past-time: the waiting game. He's grown calloused and bored enough as of late that he finds himself almost praying the criminal outs himself soon. He's got stuff to do! Well, so long as no blonde, innocent children show up to give him a heart attack, all would be well...]


Video, Open - Crazy cards

Let's play a game; a test of your reason. Look at these cards. Each one has a color on one side, and an alphanumeric character on the other.



Here's a rule: If it has blue on one side, it will have "5" on the other. How many cards--the fewest possible--must you turn over to check whether the rule holds fast? Which ones?

Don't worry if you get it wrong; I'll give you another, simpler question to answer. If you fail that, the worst that'll happen is being dubbed a psychopath.

Oh! Oh oh oh! I know! One! The blue one! Or the five? Or if you flip them both over, then you'd know for sure. But what if the person who made the cards is lying? What if there's a five on the back of the purple one?!

FLIP 'EM ALL OVER SO WE KNOW FOR SURE!

Pretty good, I beat the heat with my water puppies!

[ She snatches a puppy from the floor, holding it up to show it shooting a healthy stream of water from its mouth. ]

Okay, if it's not a trick, then... Flip the blue one!

Puppy or card? Because no, and yes!

[ :( ]

Uhhhh.... Tina! If someone didn't borrow it, then they don't have to return it, and if someone didn't return it then they didn't borrow it.

Am I right? Am I right? I'm not a psychopath, right??

[ She's getting worried, and the internet here is different from Earth so she can't look it up! ]

The blue and the G. Simple logic.

[Now does he get a prize like the newspaper puzzles?]

But, the rule!

[ She doesn't want to be a psychopath! ]

I'll never trust rules again.

[So there was a bounty in Fayren about some guy killing people with poison arrows. This person had to be stopped, and Bridget haven't done bounties in a while.

Fayren has one nun-looking child exploring the road with a stuffed bear wedged between a handcuff around the waist. Bridget asked around certain taverns, he knew. After gathering some information, Bridget was on the road and boy was it hot. Bridget hung forward, arms dangled, sighing heavily as he dragged his feet.]


So hot...

[He managed to finally said, exhausted.]

Mr. Poison Murderer. Are you around?

[He looked half-asleep, but quite determined.]

If laziness were at play you wouldn't have a feline at all.

[Because this feline would be asleep.]

Do you have a muchier one?

Mary!! Dirty sweater thief!

Oh, OH. I thought that if you told the truth about the cards you would tell the truth about the rules! This is really confusing.

[ She MIGHT just be gullible and not completely bright rather than a psychopath... Maybe. ]

Mmmm...that's a good one! I guess the blue one and the G, since the rule is 'if it's blue, then it has a five on the other side.' So you don't have to check the 5 because there's no rule saying a 5 can't be a different color, but if the G is blue, the rule is broken.

Mmm?

[Ted's shout shot electricity down Bridget's back. He stands up straight again after that alarm.]

Mr. Ted. Ha... It was just you.

[He wipes the sweat off his brow.]

I'm on a bounty hunt. What are you doing out in the--

[A faint whistle catches Bridget's ear as he turns towards the direction. And he sees two objects coming their way.]

Ted!
