had the object earlier caused the bruise? did the tossing of the object cause part of the object to not be present later? did the legs bend inorder to jump and throw the object? or did ty have a much more relevant action? was the object a bomb? did someone pick it up? was possessing this object illegal? | ||

had the object earlier caused the bruise? No. did the tossing of the object cause part of the object to not be present later? The tossing wasn't responsible for this. What happened after that is. did the legs bend in order to jump and throw the object? No jumping involved. The legs bent in order to do something after the "object" was tossed. or did ty have a much more relevant action? As explained above. was the object a bomb? No. did someone pick it up? No. was possessing this object illegal? Not at all. I'm having fun answering so much in one day :-). Thanks for your interest! | ||

did another person cause the bruise? was the bruise an accident? did he have to run once he threw the object? did the place where it landed have to do with part of it not being there later? did other people know about what he was doing? would the public look down on him for doing this? thanks, Ive been doing this for fun while finishing my school work, but pretty soon I've got to go. | ||

Swimming involved? Diving? Deep water? When the thing was tossed, did it land on him? Hit foot? Was the pain of the bruise perceived to be less (even though it was not less) due to another pain? injury? | ||

I thought I answered these... Ah well, my unreliable connection might've acted up again. was it horseshoes by any chance? I was hit in the knee once when someone was tossing horseshoes, and did that hurt! Haha... No, no horseshoes involved :-) were sports involved? soccer? football, american? tennis? baseball? cricket? No to all. | ||

would the problem work if the tosser was a male? Yeah, it would work, but in this particular puzzle, its important that the tosser is female. was the person who caused the bruise angry at the tosser? Yes, but thats not the only reason why the person caused the bruises is the objects color relevant? No. was it bigger than abreadbox? smaller? Well, the "object" can't be compared with a breadbox easily... But the object can be bigger or smaller. Explore more on what the "object" is. One hint is that though its inanimate, it's misleading to consider it an object. was it made of... cloth? metal? wood? plastic? None of these. | ||

was it... an idea? thought? None of these. is there more than one bruise? Yes. It's enough to know that the bruises were pretty severe. Doesn't matter how many of them there are. is the placement of the bruises relevant? No. | ||

I can't believe I forgot to ask this, but is the tosser an adult? the victim of abuse? was it something that had played an important role in her life? was the running the "bend"? is this a true story? | ||

I can't believe I forgot to ask this, but is the tosser an adult? Finally!:-). Yes, the tosser is an adult. the victim of abuse? YES! was it something that had played an important role in her life? If by "it" you mean the object, it played an important role in her life only because she did what she did with it at that time. It isn't relevant why it had been used earlier. was the running the "bend"? No. is this a true story? Yes. | ||

Alrighty, it's now time for the ***************SPOILER!!!**************** The woman referred to in the puzzle is the victim of physical abuse from her husband. She had been on the receiving end for years now, and she finally decided to put an end to it by burning her husband alive. So, one night when her husband was sleeping, she tossed some kerosene over him, and bent to set the bedspread on fire, using a candle. Her husband died, and she was charged with murder. It was in jail that she found freedom from her vengeful mother-in-law and a chance to re-claim her life. (Thats why her "bruises" or the scars from her past life, didn't hurt as much.) This is, actually, a true story which has been made into a movie called "Provoked", which released last year. For more info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458072/ Thanks again everyone! |
