REALLY annoying problem

Locust2000 · 17th February 2004, 10:35 PM

A little boy was walking along an empty street with his father. Suddenly a friend of theirs, with his son, came around the corner. There was no one else in the street. The first little boy looked up at his father and said, "Oh, that makes five of us." How can you explain this?

This has been pissing me off for hours :evil:

Matty · 17th February 2004, 10:43 PM

Well if I read it right, it's all based around what's not said in the first sentence.

Think about it. :wink:

Locust2000 · 17th February 2004, 10:44 PM

I've thought about it.
It's a problem posted on another site that I haven't figured out. Come up with HEAPS of theories but none seem to fit 100%.

Matty · 17th February 2004, 10:45 PM

Sorry *yawn* too tired to give the answer now, I'm off to bed. Night night.

Locust2000 · 17th February 2004, 10:45 PM

If I thought you actually knew that'd piss me off....

The first little boy walking down the street with his father is walking with a third person

The son is schitzophrenic and all the other people are "in his head".

Simple really.

He's carrying his pet hamster

GecKo · 18th February 2004, 07:29 AM

they've all just been shot by snipers and the little boy says that makes 5 of us meaning there was already one dead body that they were going to have a look at.

they rung their mate up first to say they were going to look at this body and thats why they met up at the corner.

no one was on the street cause the sniper was in the attic of the house just opposite them.

The little boy remember a dream that he had where his father's friend touched his special place.

They then took video's of it on 'location'. The video was called 'Teen Steam'.

The father's friend brought along his son, and asked the boy and his dad to come along as well.

From what i can see, there are 5 people:
1. The boy
2. The boys father
3. The father's friend
4. The father's friends son
5. The camera man

1st I thought it would have something to do with there ages? But then that didn't work out.
2nd I was thinking that the father and sons friend are 2 different people who both have a son. Weird but thats all i can think of.

The Fathers AND son's friend IS THE LADY! who's pregnant.

1) Lil boy
2)lil boy's dad
3)Pregnant women (friend of the father and son)
4)pregnant womens son
5)unborn child

Well thats the best answer that i've come up....and seems to be the most logical one
