Because he lost some change, several lives were saved. | ||

change=money, he=man, lives=human lives, saved=saved from death? (lol) | ||

change=coins (that humans use)? is the type of currency relevant? | ||

Did the number of lives saved depend on how much change was lost (ie. more lost = more saved)? Or did he lose all his change? | ||

Because he lost the change, did he... do something (action) to retrieve the change? do nothing to retrieve the change? Did another person retrieve what he lost? Did no one retrieve it? | ||

If the people had died, would it have been murder? Accident? Suicide? Fiendish plot involving chickens? Did he ever know that he saved lives? Did the saved people ever know? Did he lose the change during a transaction? Theft? Scam? | ||

Did he lose it on purpose? How soon would they other have died had he not lost the change ( when he did)? | ||

Did this take place in a location that would be helpful to know? | ||

Did losing the change prevent him from doing something that he otherwise would have done? Would he have used the change to put into a machine of some kind? To make a phone call? To pay an entrance fee? To pay a parking charge? | ||

Does it matter where the lost coin or coins ended up? Did he drop it/them? | ||

Was the coin itself instrumental to preventing an accident to occur? case point, perhaps he was standing on a gravity dam when he lost a coin into the water which eventually found its way plugging up a crack in the concrete preventing it from flooding some poor town?  You said several lives were saved, could this have happened by the coin, after falling along way down by being lost at the top of a tall building, by chance, kill someone bad threatening our potential victims? | ||

Does "lost" mean accidentally dropped? mislaid? left somewhere and forgotten? lost through playing a game (or gambling)? | ||

Did anyone take it after he lost it? | ||

Let me see if I have my facts straight: He lost at least one coin? Nobody realized it was lost? Therefore nobody tried to retrieve it? Nobody realized that lives were saved? It was the coin itself that physically prevented an accident which would have taken several lives? Did the coin become lodged somewhere? Was there a form of transportation involved? If so, bus? train? plane? car? boat? Was there a building involved? Did the coin end up inside or outside? If the coin had been moved subsequent to this saving of lives, would lives again be endangered? Is the size of the coin relevant? He didn't exactly drop the coin, but did he throw or toss it? If so, did he gather some other tossed or thrown coins and miss the life-saving coin? Since nobody tried to retrieve the coin, can I assume that the saving of lives did not involve somebody bending over to pick up the coin and thus avoid becoming a target? |
