I have been presented with a dilemma

Blackhawk · **Posted:** Mon Jun 26, 2006 1:58 pm

Everybody knows what a wyvern is I take it?
A dragon with no forelegs yadda yadda..
When I read one of my friend Aiolos' posts the other day,she said that wyverns are smallish dragons with hands on their wings (where a European's thumbclaw would be)
This is what presented a problem to me,as the dragons' wing anatomy suggests that they have wings like a bat:the thumb sticks out as an aid to hold onto things (walls etc) and the long fine fingers are the rest of it's hand and what supports the membrane and stops it from ripping mid-flight.
If the wyvern has a hand where the thumbclaw on a European would be,does that mean it has two hands on each wing?
I'm sorry if it's difficult to understand,it made perfect sense to me one night when I couldn't sleep.^^;

I always draw and describe them with three fingers where the thumb claw would be....three or two....

That's not a dilemma, that's a matter of opinion...

A dilemma is this...

*clears throat*

You find yourself at a cross road, with each side having a man on it. One only tells the truth, and one only tells lies. You want to get to get to a certain town that lies in the direction of one path, but you don't know which. You can only ask one question, which both will answer. What question do you ask???

Answer below...

You ask "which is the path to that town", and ignore the man with the beard, because he is clearly evil...

is that the actual answer to that

wut2say · **Posted:** Tue Jul 04, 2006 8:54 pm

Akira · **Posted:** Wed Jul 05, 2006 3:12 am

i found a good way anyway to get past it
you shoot one of them in the foot and then see what they say^^ i got that of off a webcomic

a wyvern is not like a European dragon so it is possible for it to have a hand there...though i cannot find a picture drawn by man or computer that has one

Aiolos · **Posted:** Wed Jul 05, 2006 10:40 am

We known what a wyvern is; Blackhawk was confused about the 'hands' on the wingtips.

And hey! That picture is by Ciruelo!

Dragonlore_Ridders · **Posted:** Wed Jul 05, 2006 10:43 am

First of all, Dragonlore_Ridders, you're new here so it's understandable, but plz dnt typ like this, 0r t415. Please use full words, sentences, and punctuation, and place numbers wherever appropriate...

Secondly, I see what Akira's saying. If you shoot one and they respond "YOU SHOT HIM, YOU SHOT HIM", he is the liar, and you follow the advice of the other. If you shoot one and they say "YOU SHOT ME, YOU SHOT ME", then do the opposite of whatever the unshot one says...

Once again you have diluted the flow of pure posts, good job Firuweata. Now, I don't really care, but I think anouther solution would be to simply ask wheather they were dead or not. walk past the one who says no.

Akira · **Posted:** Thu Jul 06, 2006 2:40 am

but then you dont get to shoot anyone you have to shoot someone :twisted:

wut2say · **Posted:** Fri Jul 07, 2006 2:23 pm

yeah but if u can find a way without violence then it's better because u dont haveto worry about the police or anyone coming after u because u shot someone. but either way would work.

u could also ask of they are standing there and the one who says no u ignore.

Firuweata · **Posted:** Sat Jul 08, 2006 12:37 am

But If you ask that dead question, then you still won't know which town to go to, since all you found out is which is the liar, and that you used up your one question...

Blackhawk · **Posted:** Sat Jul 08, 2006 11:18 am

*sigh* I can see you've really taken the biscuit when it comes to going off topic,firuweata.You're worse than me in the Artistic Sub-section..
