Were you flying the plane? Was it a warning light that something was wrong with the plane? So you got the plane fixed and saved yourself some costly repairs, but you weren't happy because you had to delay your trip? | ||

Wait a sec...this is a Galfisk puzzle, and there's a plane... Is skydiving involved? | ||

Is skydiving involved? You know it ;-) | ||
| Balin (Balin)
New member Username: Balin Post Number: 1327 Registered: 4-2010 |
Did the warning light mean you were unable to go skydiving? And that's why you were unhappy? | ||
| Balin (Balin)
New member Username: Balin Post Number: 1331 Registered: 4-2010 |
Was the warning light spotted on the ground? If so, did it mean the plane could not take off? And you saved money because you didn't have to pay the pilot (or someone else), but you were unhappy because you wanted to go skydiving? | ||

No. If so, did it mean the plane could not take off? And you saved money because you didn't have to pay the pilot (or someone else), but you were unhappy because you wanted to go skydiving? Not exactly, but very OTRT. | ||

Were you about to jump when the light went off? Did it go off before anyone could jump? Was the door open when the light went off? | ||

New member Username: Galfisk Post Number: 2178 Registered: 9-2009 |
Were you about to jump when the light went off? Yes. Did it go off before anyone could jump? Yes. Was the door open when the light went off? Irr. (we often fly with the door open) | ||

Did the light going off mean you had to jump immediately (before something additional went wrong with the plane)? which made you have to land somewhere other than where you planned to? | ||

Did the light going off mean you had to jump immediately (before something additional went wrong with the plane)? Yes! which made you have to land somewhere other than where you planned to? No, we had time to get back to the drop zone. Now how did this save me money? (I also saved money by not being able to jump any more that day, but that's not the point of the puzzle). Hint: this hinges on a fact you may not be familiar with, but I'm sure you can find out. | ||

Did you get money back? avoid paying money for something? If you avoided paying, would you have otherwise paid for a piece of equipment that would have been used up during the jump, but the situation meant you didn't need it? | ||

Did the plane immediately turn back (once everyone had jumped)? And you saved the extra fuel money? | ||

Did the plane immediately turn back (once everyone had jumped)? Yes. And you saved the extra fuel money? Not directly. Hint: how skydivers are charged money for jumping is relevant. | ||

New member Username: Balin Post Number: 1498 Registered: 4-2010 |
Are you charged money per jump? Per how-far-you've-flown-before-you-jump? Are you charged by the altitude at which you jump? | ||

So because of the equipment failure, the plane could not go higher? And you jumped from a lower altitude than you wanted? Thus saving you money, even though you wanted to jump from a higher altitude, and making you unhappy? | ||
