Can You Spot the Lie? - A Game of Truths and Deceptions

[lisab]

I had a good laugh @ the hammers dance answer. OK Zshoe, I'll follow your steps :p

1- I had a car accident 10 weeks ago.
2- I didn't blink for a straight 10 minutes.
3- A needle stayed inside my foot for at least 10 days.
4- 10 guys asked for my hand.

Guess the lie.

This made me lol!

Can't say why, but I think the lie is 2.

 

[drizzle]

That's right! :)

 

[lisab]

That's right! :)

I knew you were a heartbreaker .

OK, I'll try to think of something:


1. I once literally ran into a moose.
2. I have a very poor sense of taste due to a tongue injury.
3. I slipped and fell on a banana peel in front of a crowd of people when I was in middle school.
4. I have had an iPhone for over 5 years, yet have never bought an app.

Numbah 3.

I think #2 is the lie. Lisa has several times mentioned fondness for certain foods over the years.

 

[Borg]

I don't think that it's number 1 unless she hit one in the last five days. I'll round out the guesses with number 4. No apps for you lisab!

You can only guess one.

 

[StatGuy2000]

Nope, #1 is also true. Sorry, I corrected above, #3 is false. I did learn CPR, luckily never had to use it.

Next!

Hi Evo! I just noticed this thread and saw the 4 things you wrote about yourself (with #3 false). I'm wondering what happened with #1 and #2, as both would make for a great story!

 

[Borg]

You can only guess one.

I meant that I didn't think that number 1 was the lie because she had already stated that it was true. I have no idea why I wrote that sentence the way that I did.
I'm sticking with number 4 as the lie.

 

[lisab]

Numbah 3.

You're right, #3 is a lie.

I ran into a moose while racing one of my brothers down the driveway in the middle of the night.

I severely burned my tongue drinking "free" coffee at Jiffy Lube, and it was never the same. I still love food, though!

And I just don't see the point of apps...does that make me a Luddite?

On foot?

That's sad. :(

Nah, you fine. With so many free apps you'll probably never need to buy one in a lifetime.

1. My smell sense can identify family members and their branch.
2. Went home by foot on a rainy day from shcool, got all wet by splashed water from passing vehicles, got followed by a bee colony and finally got chased down a street by a cow.
3. Once forced my body to run for so long that a few minutes after I stopped running I puked and then fainted.
4. Fell highspeed down a cliff in a bycicle, hit a lemon three, got the thorns all over my skin, and got bitten by fire ants below that tree.

 

[drizzle]

Lol! I sure hope it's #4, Psinter.

 

[Psinter]

Nope. Original story here: https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=733176 7th post.

But I'm somewhat grateful to the lemon tree for if it hadn't stopped me, there was a high speed river waiting for me at the bottom of the cliff. Hihi, got lucky. Plus my grandma treated me and gave me cookies.

 

[drizzle]

Haha. Well, glad you're ok. :)

 

[zoobyshoe]

I think #2 is the lie.

 

[Evo]

It really needs to be verifiable events, #1 doesn't qualify, well, actually several don't.

 

[zoobyshoe]

It really needs to be verifiable events...

What are you talking about?

 

[Evo]

What are you talking about?

Well I guess nothing said so far could be easily verified, bit it should be more than

My smell sense can identify family members and their branch.

It should be something unique and unusual.

But that's just me.

I can smell when an animal has less than 48 hours to live, never been wrong, freaks people out, and actually it can be verified, I've even told people here when I smelled death on my cat, for instance.

Just thinking that the facts should be more interesting.

 

[Enigman]

There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact.

 

[Psinter]

I think #2 is the lie.

Nope.

Hint: According to logic rules, a conjunction is making the whole statement false.

I can smell when an animal has less than 48 hours to live, never been wrong, freaks people out, and actually it can be verified, I've even told people here when I smelled death on my cat, for instance.

Not freaked out, I actually understand. We should join forces and do great things together with this power of smell. But I'll understand if you prefer to work alone.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Nope.

Yes, I think #2 is a lie. Bees don't come out on rainy days.

 

[Psinter]

Yes, I think #2 is a lie. Bees don't come out on rainy days.

Those did because me and my friend touched that brown thing where they hide on our way home.

I'm a little tired. :zzz: Let us finish this please. I'm about to spill the beans and give it to zoobyshoe.

 

[alpha3031]

I'm going to go with one because I have no idea what this means

and their branch.

 

[Psinter]

I'm going to go with one because I have no idea what this means

Oh, sorry. By branch I meant whether they come from my mother's side or from my father's side. Each family branch has a different characteristic smell.

Everything but the correct one was guessed. Number 3 was the lie. That never happened. I thought it would sound too dramatic so it would be obvious it was a lie. But it appears I wasn't dramatic enough. :(

Well, first come, first served.

*Bump*

I figured #3 was totally believable for someone who experienced #2 and #4!

 

[lendav_rott]

1. I blew up an old car with explosives I made myself.
2. I refused to have sex with someone half the school wanted to bang.
3. I outran a city cop car and lost them in the haze of the traffic.
4. I have suffered 230V electrocutions for nearly a minute on a few occasions and nothing happened to me.

 

[DennisN]

4. I have suffered 230V electrocutions for nearly a minute on a few occasions and nothing happened to me. (my bolding)

Well, I'm sure something would have happened. . But anyway, I guess #4.

 

[lendav_rott]

#4 is true - The first time was when I was 14, we had an electrical lawnmower, I was detangling the coord which was faulty, grabbed on to it while I had already inserted the coord in the plug and boom, I locked and fell on the grass, but I managed to pull the cable out of the socket somehow. Went to a doctor later on, they said as if nothing had happened, everything was normal.
The second time was when I was 17, during renovations I was drilling a wall (the power was out, but this line was separated somehow and ran through the neighbour's supply - USSR construction , don't ask) the drill's chassis was metalish so I was electrocuted again, it had been roughly 40 seconds (there was a large wall clock nearby) till another construction worker pushed me away. Later at the doctor, once again everything was fine, as if nothing had happened.

As for testing it, no thanks - it's not like it isn't uncomfortable, maybe I have greater resilience to this thing, some people test fuse boxes with their fingers and nothing happens to them :O
