With how atrocious the quality of this is, this had to have been intentional at some point. Can we not hold ourselves to a higher standard than this?

I'm amazed that none of these comments are mentioning the subject line of the post is a reference to "Stop! Hammer time!"

Damnit, now that song is stuck in my head!

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Easy. Since you tell the truth, where’s the anaconda?

[–] Voytrekk@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The person telling the story could always tell lies, which would mean his brother would only tell the truth.

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

So it’s the same as always?

Which door would your brother say leads me out and then go through the other one?

[–] Dalvoron@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Or the person telling the story lies some of the time in which case it's not a riddle and you're just talking to a normal person

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Well this one is easy, just ask them "is my butt big?"

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, it is.

So which brother am I?

[–] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How could you say something like that!? You don't care about me at all!

[–] Lath@kbin.earth 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, this is the certain death door.

This has the same solution as the original. You ask them "which door would your brother say leads to certain doom?" and then you take that door.

"He'd say door A or he likes little butts."

I've never liked it when the Two Brothers riddles are worded like this. Either the "always telling the truth" brother is the one saying the riddle, and you know who to ask which door is safe or its the "always lying" brother, in which you don't know what the actual riddle is (as the one they just told you is a lie) and both doors probably lead to the certain death.

(I should probably add that I get the refrence in the post, I'm just being nitpicky)

"If I were to ask your brother what kind of butts he likes, how would he answer?"

[–] SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Am I missing something? If you ask brother A, he would say his brother likes small butts. If you ask brother B, he would also say his brother likes small butts. How do you differentiate?

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It works the same as the original puzzle. If you ask the lying small butt brother, he'll lie and say his brother would say he likes small butts. If you ask the truthful big butt brother, he'd say his brother would say he likes big butts, because he knows his brother likes small butts and would lie about it.

Essentially the negatives work out so that each brother answers with the kind of butt they themselves like, which you can then use to determine which is truthful (though at this point that somehow seems less important).

[–] SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like the truthful brother would say his brother likes small butts, because that's the truth.

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, but you're not asking him what his brother likes, you're asking him what he would say he likes, which is what flips it. You're basically making sure the answer is a lie regardless of which brother you ask.

"An anaconda that is sprung?" What does that mean?

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I like the implication that anaconda was not a real word beforehand.

[–] stingpie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, so the goal is to get the certain doom?

[–] kakes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You got a problem with erect penises, friend?

[–] stingpie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, mine. EYYYYOOOOO! (I may or may not have ED)
