Title: Seer Post by alien2 on Aug 26th, 2016, 11:23am A man found a device which allows him to see the future, including lottery winning numbers for the next 100 years. He has no restraints regarding using the device and nothing prevents him from doing just that yet he is poor. Can you explain it? |

I am uncertain whether or not you just solved the riddle by not giving away too much. Perhaps you're just on the right track. Not sure which. |

Title: Re: Seer Post by Grimbal on Aug 27th, 2016, 6:25am It was more a joke, an outside-of-the-box answer. But maybe the device shows him all the winning lottery numbers, but also the names of the grand winners, which doesn't include him. So the device shows him the future. And if he doesn't like it, too bad, he cannot change it. How could a device show you the future if you still can change it? |

Title: Re: Seer Post by alien2 on Aug 27th, 2016, 6:47am The intended answer is a rather simple one and it might disappoint you. |

Title: Re: Seer Post by alien2 on Aug 29th, 2016, 9:07am Nope. He is in perfect health. Perhaps the answer is too simple. Of course, riddling myopia can blind beautiful minds as well. |
