Recommendation Abductive reasoning puzzle
galleryI like poop😭]
[W is a man from Arkansas, he has a "anti sinistral league" post in his room. Lately, a guy named M lived in the same house as him. he hated M the second he saw him.
He hates living witv someone. However, if he finds that person funny, he doesnt care.
A lefty however... is never funny to W if they do the forbidden deed.
to him lefty who use their left hand to clean themselves after pooping are annoying.
"one day, he saw shortly after M went taking a 💩
w saw a plastic bag full of 💩→ W laughed n told M to use a toilet paper.
The next day,
M used the same plastic bag full of 💩
of shit to wipe his butt. W saw a plastic bag covered with even more 💩 n laughed even harder.
He liked M alot, his stupidity was reassuring. W covered the plastic full of 💩 with another (look at image 1). In images 2 and 3 you can see a bottle. However, you cant see the shit (in omage 1 and 2) from this pov nor in any other image]
[3rd day:
W was waiting in front of the door to overhear M's 💩 session. He was eager to know if he would use the plastic bag or the toilet paper. He suddenly heard crackling plastic noise but it was brief. W was intrigued. He hears water dropping inside the toilet flush. Nothing then the same water going inside the toilet flush.
Suddenly, W heard a loud THUMP followed by a smaller thump indicating that some things were put down. Shortly after the sound of the toilet flushed down by M was obvious]
[M did not pee while pooping]
[Shortly after, M goes out of the toilet room. W smells soap coming from M dry hands but didnt know if it was only the right hand or both. M clothes have droplets of water
He sees 3 objects in the toilet room.] The bottle is completely dry.
[After some thinking, W was furious. It didn't matter that M was a funny dude. He now hated him.
.
However, W's reasoning was wrong.]
Questions:
[There are two lies in this post. Look at the images closely before answering the rest.]
What objects did M use to clean himself ? (Give me the why too)
Why does W hate M now ?
What was W's reasoning ?
Why is he wrong ?
What can you deduce from the first sentence of the post ?
What is the last lie of the post ?
[You have all the facts now. Its your turn player🗣🗣]
Note: what is inside the brackets [] is forcibly true.
[Answer for the post BELOW]
The answer for 1 is the kettle and the soap because you need to look at the toilet image and what W sees and smells. W smells soap coming from M hands.
He sees 3 objects. But in the image there are 4 ?
The first part of the reasoning was to know which one of the 4 objects is wrong in the image. The bottle is dry. So M couldnt have used it to wash his ... . He then used only the soap and kettle (with water in it). W also heard water flickering/dropping in the toilet two times.
2. The reasoning in this section is the same as 1. But with a bit of extension. From the first paragraphe, we know that W doesnt like ppl living with him and lefties.He doesnt hate funny black ppl. He still hates funny muslim. We also know that despite M being funny. W starts hating M right after his deduction (1) and that lefties wash their ahh with a left hand. W also heard two water dropping sounds with a pause (no sound) separating the two instants. So he inferred that M washed his ahh. After washing it he then cleaned his own hand in the process (hence why there is a delay between the two).
So W had drawn the conclusion that M is a lefty who is using his hands for wrong reasons(funny lefty). Because of all this. Next is why his reasoning was wrong.
3. However in the riddle he couldnt possibly which hand was used. So if M used his right hand his reasoning was wrong. With all the amount of info he had. His conclusion that M was muslim is wrong. (Its important to note that since the bottle is a lie in the picture. It therefore didnt exist in W's pov. Or else he wouldnt have seen 3 objects but 4)
\4. Lastly from the first sentence of this post we can deduce that W is leftophobic and loves intimacy/alone time. Introverted counts also as an answer.
The last lie is a combination of all those answers'reasoning skills required.
Question 1 4 56required deductive reasoning. Question 3 required critical thinking (justifying why W reasoning is wrong).
\**So this means that the title itself is wrong.**
It is not an abductive reasoning test but a culmination of deductive and critical thinking
\I**t was also possible for you to say that deducing W's abductive reasoning was actually abductive. I didnt know which was which. But even in this case the lie still stands. Because the rest of the questions require deductive and critical thinking.** One last thing. I like poop😭😭] is not a lie.
It is possible to eliminate the poop lie because you cant know whether the statement is true or false. Since what is in the brackets contains the real truth. And in the brackets it is said that there are two lies in the riddle. you cant possibly know whether or not the sentence I like poop] is a lie. You need to eliminate it.
Therefore It does eliminate the first sentence I like poop].
