This is another "yes" or "no" riddle.
My friend John came in my country, and because he loves traditional food, he ate 15 sausages. Because of that, he
lost 3 millions dollars.
If you like this kind of ridlle, try your chance. If not, ignore this post.

My first few guesses:

He was involved in a bet?
In your country, a dollar is worthless?
While eating he was robbed?

He was involved in a bet? No.
In your country, a dollar is worthless? No. 1$=30000ROL(old currency) 1$=3RON(new curency)
While eating he was robbed? No.

He was aware of the fact that, at the moment he was losing the money, he was losing the money?

Was the food that expensive?
Was he hurt when he ate the food?
Was the fact that he ate the sausages bad for his PR?
And if so, was this the reason why he lost the money?

He was aware of the fact that, at the moment he was losing the money, he was losing the money? I can't answer this question, because there wasn't exactly a moment where he lost the money. If I tell you more, it would be a hint.
Was the food that expensive? No.
Was he hurt when he ate the food? No.
Was the fact that he ate the sausages bad for his PR? If PR means Personal Reputation, no.

It means public relations, but it's almost the same...

I'll rewrite the original question a bit:

Was he aware of the fact that when he was losing the money he was losing it?
Was it directly money involved, or something else worth 3 million (for example: He lost silver/gold/platinum)? With 'money' I mean banknotes and coins, no credit cards or cheques or anything, these fall in the 'something else' category.

EDIT: Why did I come up with 15 million in the first place? I must've been confused with 15 sausages...

Sausages were the traditional food?
He didn't have 3 million, but would have got it if he didn't eaten the sausages?
Were other people involved?
Is time relevant?
Is his weight relevant?

Hmm.
Did the sausages make him sick?
Were the sausages made of some rare animal?
Did he get sued for eating the rare animal sausage?

Was he in an eating contest??

Since he wanted Traditional food he ate like really old sausages that costed a lot of money to preserve so they were heaps expensive?

@magicman:
Was it directly money involved? Money or credit cards, it doesn't matter.

@scratcher:
Sausages were the traditional food? They aren't called sauseges, but there is no English word for them. They look like sausages.
He didn't have 3 million, but would have got it if he didn't eaten the sausages?YES.
Were other people involved? Yes.
Is time relevant? Yes.
Is his weight relevant? YES.

@carrie2004:
Did the sausages make him sick? No.
Were the sausages made of some rare animal? No.
Did he get sued for eating the rare animal sausage? No.

@LadyValoveer:
Was he in an eating contest?? No.

@BeheadedDuck:

Scratcher is really good at this.

Cevapcici? (Not an actual question for the game)

I'm guessing he was in some sort of "Big Diet". That's what it was called in The Netherlands, dunno about other countries. Put 12 fat people in a house, let them do excercises, diets etc, all with professional help, and the one who's lost the most weight wins an awful lot of money.

@magicman: Nope.

Did his weight change drastically while eating the sausage?
Were they garlic sausages?
Did the man survive eating the sausages?

Did his weight change drastically while eating the sausage? No.
Were they garlic sausages? Doesn't matter.
Did the man survive eating the sausages? Yes.

- Was there a relevant difference in weight of the man before and after eating the sausages?
- Has it got anything to do with a TV show?
- Was the man in some sort of competition with other people?
- Did the other people involved get money?

Did the man have a wager to not gain any weight and by eating the sausages, lost the bet?

@carrie2004:
Did the man have a wager to not gain any weight and by eating the sausages, lost the bet? No.

@metatarastal:
Was there a relevant difference in weight of the man before and after eating the sausages? It wasn't a relevant difference for most people, but for him it was.
Has it got anything to do with a TV show? Yes, but not only.
Was the man in some sort of competition with other people? Yes.
Did the other people involved get money? I don't think so.

since this is a yes or no question the answer is YES.

Did the man lose weight?
Were the sausages poisioned?

since this is a yes or no question the answer is YES. This is a YES or NO or DOESN'T MATTER answer(sorry for use capitals). For example, if you ask Was the man blue-eyed, I would answer Doesn't matter.
Did the man lose weight? No.
Were the sausages poisioned? No.

Is this a eating contest in which he lost after eating 15 sausages and thus lost 3 million dollars?

Were the Hotdogs?

I cant be botered loggin in

Had the contest the man was in anything to do with the sausages?

I know I'm going off topic but in the previous riddle thread Milobones said "Ah... I've heard it before, but I just now remembered the answer. And yes, it is better than the diver in the forest fire. Or the frozen man in the middle of a muddy field with no tracks."

Whats that thing about the frozen man in the middle of a muddy field with no tracks? I know the scuba diver one.

Is this a eating contest in which he lost after eating 15 sausages and thus lost 3 million dollars? No.
Were the Hotdogs? They weren't but the things wouldn't be different if they were.
Had the contest the man was in anything to do with the sausages? No.

john made a 3million dollar bet that he would gain no more weight, not even one. so john decides to take a vaction to a foreign country, since hes a sucker for traditional food, he joined a sausage eating contest. he ate 15 sausages and gained 2 pounds and he lost the bet when he went back home and lost 3 million dollars.

Nope. Not even close.

Was someone hurt due to the fact that he had eaten the sausages?
Was something broken due to the fact that he had eaten the sausages?
Was the competition a physical one?
Or was it more a mental one?
Or maybe both?

Was someone hurt due to the fact that he had eaten the sausages? No.
Was something broken due to the fact that he had eaten the sausages?
>Was the competition a physical one? Yes.

He was in a competiton where he had to eat 15 sauage then lose the weight he had gained. Since the sauages where tradtional he couldn't refuse. If he lost the weight he would get 3 million dollars but he was unbale and lost the competition.

OR

He was in a triathlon or something where the prize was 3 million dollars. He was going to win but since he was a sucker for traditional food he stopped and ate 15 sausages. He then didn't have the strength to carry on racing and lost.

The competition had nothing to do with eating, and it didn't involved running.

He ate the biggest sausages ever to be made, which were very expensive too?

The sausages were normal, and they weren't expensive.
Hint: You realised he was in a competition. Try to figure out what competition was.

He was in the great race or watva its called?

Had the competion anything to do with time? (like having to be fast)
Had the competion anything to do with strength?
Did the sausages have a negative effect on his fysical abilities?
Was the competition an existing sport?

traditianal snags cost more

Was the competition for 'whoever makes the most sausages wins 3 million'?And by eating some, he lost the contest?

He was in the great race or watva its called? Not really.
Had the competion anything to do with time? (like having to be fast) Yes, but it wasn't essentialy.
Had the competion anything to do with strength? Yes.
Did the sausages have a negative effect on his fysical abilities? No.
Was the competition an existing sport? Yes.

P.S. The competition had nothing to do with sausages.

The prize money of the competition was 3 million?
The number of sausages (15) doesn't matter?
He ate the sausages while he was competing?

The prize money of the competition was 3 million? Yes.
The number of sausages (15) doesn't matter? It doesn't matter if there were 10 or 20, but it matters if there were only 2 or 3.
He ate the sausages while he was competing? No.

Did the guy have to eat like 30 traditional sausages in a game show that if he won he'd get 3 million dollars but he only managed to eat 15 and lost?

um.
about half of Cypry's posts says: "the competition had NOTHIGN to do with sausages." so i would stop asking whether he ate or even touched sausages in the competition.

It's not that hard, belive me. Just try to guess what competition it was.

Ok I'll ask about the competition:

- Is it a teamsport?
- Is a bal involved in the sport?
- Is it a fightsport?
- Is it an outdoor sport?
- Is it a form of athletics?
- Is it a wintersport?

Is it a fightsport? YES.

When participating in the competition, someone knocked him out and robbed him from the 3 million $

Ahh. So those sausages knocked him into the next weight category and he got disqualified?

Ahh. So those sausages knocked him into the next weight category and he got disqualified BINGO!!

You have to pay money when you get disqualified? wt.

No, I don't think so. since the prize money for the competition was 3 million. And he lost 3 million. So if you had to pay money if you get disqualified he'd lost more then 3 million.

Ahh, right. "Lost" in another context, then.

Want another YES or NO riddle? Or maybe a classical riddle?

I think that the interest in yes or no riddles is waning.

Not surprising, considering that we've had these threads for nearly two months now. I think we should let it die now.

Indeed. Though this is less annoying than the Never Ending Stories by far.

This is not a "yes or no ridlle". It's the hardest riddle I know:
Three persons are sleeping in a room. Someone enters and paints their faces, then leaves the room. The tree persons awake in the same time, then starts to laugh each other. Nobody realises he is painted. Suddenly, one of them realises he is painted and stops laughing. How did he realized?
No simple solutions, like he felt something, or somebody told him, or he saw a mirror. The solutions should involve only logic.
If someone finds the solution(alone, not by reading it, or beeing told), he is a true genius.

he feels his face is painted,
he sees his face reflect in the eyes of one other persons,
he sees a trace of paint in the room,
there is paint dripping in his mouth as he laughs...

i dunno

Maybe the one who realized it painted the others faces in the night, and realized that the others faces were painted differently, which means someone else must have come in the room and painted everyone's face?

Right, but the person that entered the room could have only painted the first two.

The people are part of a male school team on a roadtrip, and they fell asleep before the others did, 'cause they passed out. They couldn't hold their alcohol.

Incidentally, they all had a symbol of masculinity painted on their foreheads. In permanent marker.

They knew they were drawn on for any of the following reasons:
The door was open/unlocked.
They saw the marker uncapped.
There was no one else in the room.

Maybe he realized that his face must be painted too since the other two were laughing and pointing at him.

EDIT: oooh, maybe the paint was still wet and dripped off his face?
or maybe a fly suddenly ran into him and stuck or
maybe he had an allergic reaction and his face started to get all puffy...okay I'll stop now.

This riddle is only about logic, not senses. And the man was 100% sure he was painted.

He took a nap by an atomatic painting machine?
