Here is the new Paper Boat Challenge. A real one again. You know the rules: Try to find the solution until Monday next week (9th July). You can ask questions, I'll try to give hints. There are no excuses this time;-) (The cartoon is not part of the puzzle.)
Once there were two nuns. The first one was called Sister Mathematics and the other Sister Logic.
One day they left their convent together and went to the nearby town in order to sell vegetables from the garden of their convent. On their way back…
M: It’s already getting dark and we are still far from the convent.
L: And, my Sister, look, there is a strange guy half an hour behind us.
M: Yes. What do you think, he wants.
L: It’s logical. He wants to attack us.
M: Oh my God! According to my calculations he will reach us in half an hour if we continue at this pace. What could we do?
L: The only logical thing to do is to go faster!!!
M: It doesn’t work!
L: Of course not. He did the only logical thing. He began to walk faster, too.
M: And now? What shall we do? In one minute he’ll reach us!
L: The only logical consequence for us is to separate. You go that way I’ll go there. He cannot follow both of us.
The strange guy decided to follow Sister Logic.
Sister Mathematics got to the convent safely but worried a lot about Sister Logic.
A few minutes later Sister Logics came to the convent, too.
M: My sister, thanks to God you arrived as well. But tell me. What happened?
L: It happened what was logical. The guy couldn’t follow both of us and chose to follow me.
M: And then, what happened?
L: That’s logical. I started to run as fast as I could. He did the same.
M: And?
L: Again that’s logical. He reached me.
M: My God! What did you do?
L: I did what’s logical. I raised my habit.
M: My God, Sister!!! What did the guy do?
L: He also did what was logical...

As a good catholic the man closed his eyes and let the nun go????
Well, as far as I can guess I can see from what happened before, the man is always copying the actions of the "logical" nun. Consequently when she raised her habit, he also has to do that - but unfortunately he does not have one. Am I right? I might be on dangerous ground here, but I remember the exhibitionist here at RMS 5 years back, so maybe he let his pants down.
If he did so, the nun with her habit raised can run faster than a man with his pants down.
Is that logigal???
You really believe that???
No, I don't, but it was worth a try until I come up with something else!
If "good catholic" doesn't work here, I guess he ran back to get a Gilette Quattro Fusion Ultra Power (whatever this is called now...) - anyone seen Scary Movie? :-D
Mmh, close... ;-)
He lowered his pants, logically.
She got away.
Because a nun with a raised gown runs faster than a guy with lowered pants.
:-)
ok, close... since today is the deadline i'll have one more shot (which in my opinon is even logical!!!):
she's trying to make him drop his pants so he can't follow her when she starts running again. (might only work if the nun still has her own teeth and no wooden leg... ;-))
I guess this puzzle was quite easy. And it seems to be easier for women to guess the right answer... (although 3 entries is not a really reliable statistical basis)
Nadja, you were first (very quick) so you won. Congratulations!
Dana and Michael you were right, too. Well done!
