The blind man question! ( COMPLETED )

Post by memory man »

A blind man is alone on a deserted island. He has two blue pills and two red pills. He must take exactly one red pill and one blue pill or he will die. How does he do it?

How would you know you were on a desert island? It could be West Wittering for all you would know.

Well done Oxfordboy. :) :)

Correct answer.


Break each of the pills in half, as you do this pop one half in your mouth and lay the other half aside for tomorrow. When he's done this with all four pills he will have consumed one red pill and one blue pill. And have the same left over.
