Riddle 13?

[pinkdaisy226]

Does the man see a long lost love in the smoking car and had he not been there he would not have seen her? No, but that would've been sweet!

Does the man see an ad that makes him not kill himself? Doesn't it work the other way around? Sorry, no!

If this surgery is to improve his vision:

did he have surgery to improve limited vision? See next question...

was he blind before the surgery? Yes

was the state of his eyes troubling enough to him to consider suicide if it didn't work? Yes

You answered yes earlier that his purpose had been fullfilled to his expectations, so should we take that to mean that whatever vision correction he had was successful? Yes...

maybe he was made fun of as a kid for his thick coke bottle glasses and wanted to kill himself if the laysik didnt work, lol

Aw... but no, he was blind

Was the man blind before he had the surgery?

Does he see something that makes him want to kill himself and then he gets on the train and the smoke clouds his eye sight and he thinks he is going blind again so he doesn't kill himself? Like, maybe he realized seeing isn't cut out to what it is supposed to be and he would rather be blind?

Was the man blind before he had the surgery? Yes.

Does he see something that makes him want to kill himself... Well, no he doesn't see something that makes him want to kill himself
and then he gets on the train and the smoke clouds his eye sight and he thinks he is going blind again so he doesn't kill himself? Uh no.
Like, maybe he realized seeing isn't cut out to what it is supposed to be and he would rather be blind? Nope.

Does the fact that he can see now make him want to kill himself?

Does something on the train make him lose his vision again?

 

[sharonkay]

OK

When he gets on the train, can he see?

When he gets off the train, can he see?

Does something happen on the train to make him think that he can not see?

Tempter! Here I am at work again, but I must ask!

Was he suicidal when he boarded the train?
If in the non-smoking car, would he have become suicidal because of something he DID see or something he DIDN'T see?
Cigarettes: is the important thing the actual cigarette(s), or the cigarette package(s)?

Does the train get so dark and he thinks he can't see until someone puffs on their cigarette and he sees the red at the end?

[ali012281]

Voila! Very good!

Now here's my issue with this riddle: the riddle states that had he been on a non-smoking car, he would've died. So you're telling me that this tunnel is SO long and there aren't ANY lights on the train that he would've had time to kill himself? Doesn't it seem dumb?

By the way, Obi is it your turn to do the riddles now? This one was hard to field questions from! Although we did get to page 7 - pretty impressive!
