A man is outdoors taking a walk. Suddenly he sees the Great Wall of China. How is this possible, since he is thousands of miles from China? Same puzzle statement, totally different answer | ||

is the Wall Of China that he sees the actual Great Wall or a model of it ? | ||

|
Is he delusional on account of his severe opium dependency? Is it the fantastic wall that was erected around China Phillips' mansion? | ||

|
Did he actually see the wall? Or some replication, like on some view screen? Is he on the planet Earth? Is this the Great Wall of China we would assume it is? Is the China he is miles away from the country?
It wasn't there before? It snuck up behind him and almost slapped him on the head before he turned around? | ||

|
Did he see it on a TV screen in a high street? | ||
| David Burn (Woubit)
|
Is this a wall made of, for example, crockery? | ||

I'll take that risk... Does he see the actual wall or a representation of the wall? Does he see it directly through his eyes? Does he see it through some optical instrument? Glasses? Telescope? Binoculars? Magnifying Glass? Microscope? Does he see it through some intervening electronic process? TV? Internet? | ||

Is he in The USA? Canada? Britain? Australia? Japan? A European country? African? Asian? American? Australasian? Is he in Antarctica? The Arctic? IS there something in particular which needs to be established about this man? his age? His nationality? His state of mind? Is he a sane person? Did he see a projected image of the Great Wall of China? Is he thousands of miles away from the country China? or a set of crockery? | ||

The man is in the USA. Would it help to narrow down his location yet further? Is the Great Wall of China which he sees also in the USA? Is it in China? Is it somewhere elae? Is there anyone else near him when he sees the wall? Can they see it, too? Fow what period of time does the wall remain in view? | ||
