the table is round, so no matter which way the ant moves, he's moving toward and away from the sugar?
wait...hold on....i just read this whole thing and there's no fucking answer? Jedi...help us, you're our only hope
HAHAHAHA this is too funny, the answers are all no, Ahem Saxmachine... NO! (maybe i should have worked for capital one card)
Alright you braniacs, the answer to the ANT and Table question is: The ant just doesn't want to eat the sugar. You can't force it to! ***End of the mind fuck****
Hm. I don't like that answer, so I'll keep playing, if it's all right with you. I think NaykidApe was onto something with the was vs. is thing. There must be a time-space continuum at work. Also (duh!) of course the ant has no legs, like Sax said. His diabetes had progressed to such a morbid state that all 6 legs had to be amputated. *slaps forehead* That was obvious! So in his depression he turns to a cocaine binge, which gets him all high and horny. And now he's wriggling back to the hill to get some action with the queen. It all makes perfect sense to me.
Well, my problem is that I do not have the appropriate software for typing in greek. That was the best that I could do by google searching greek language websites and copy and pasting in here. At least that was the best I could do in a pinch. Besides, this thread needs some psychoanalysis so I figured I'd leave it in there; if you can psycho-analyse a thread. So there!! Also, Jedi's answer about the ant not wanting the sugar was the lamest possible answer. So maybe that is what he meant when he said something about the answer a fool would come up with. A fool would come up with a totally lame answer. That is not an example of lateral thinking, it is an example of strict absolutist one-to-one relational thinking
Hey, ALL of them were fools' answers. The smartest thing to do is not to take the bait in the first place! Why do you think I stayed out until now? Besides, I don't need someone else to tell me what the answer "should" be to anything. That's Big Brother talk! I'd rather work out my own answers. Though, come to think of it, the sugar in the problem was like the "bait" (trying to come up with the right answer) of the problem itself, and I'm like the ant that didn't want the sugar. So maybe Jedi did have the answer after all, but I had to think it through before accepting it... Good mind fuck -- and it went even deeper than we suspected.
kinda dumb, since many of these answers work. You had one in mind, but many of those could have applied.
no dude. the ant is fucking dead. thats why it isnt going to the sugar. What kind of live ant wouldnt want sugar? thats where darwinism comes into play
I have it!!! the ant is actually Vin Diesal, the sugar is Angela jolie, the table is the Kalahari desert, and the ant isn't moving towards the sugar because the director hasn't yelled "roll 'em" yet (?)
you do realize that ants are animals with NO SELF CONTROL! individual ants don't have brains, they have hive minds, the ant has no choice in the matter, an ant has no want, humans are the only creatures that want...... that is a plainly ignorant answer....... You do know why ants die right? The vast majority of ants die from exhaustion, ants don't sleep, their bodies are one time use, they are as a rocket, to burn out as they live fuck that was stupid.......
