Title: SNOWMAN
Post by alien2 on Jul 23^rd, 2017, 7:27am

A MAN TURNS ON AN AIR-CONDITIONER AND TURNS INTO A SNOWMAN. WHAT HAPPENED?! FILL IN THE OMITTED PARTS.

A hint: The answer is a rational one.

No piece of cake.

Because a piece of cake is a fraction of pie. And a fraction times pi is never rational.

But dudiobugtron's answer looks good.

I agree! It looks more than good.

However, that is not the 'notorious' intended answer in which he really turns into a snowman, well, sort of.

We can get one over on the Pie though. That would make 1/Pi, which as a 'fraction' of Pi gives 1 whole. Although I don't think it is very rational to eat a whole cake.

Enough with math. I feel like an anathema since I know nothing 'bout it. Solve the riddle. That is an order. We are in business of solving riddles.

[hide]The air conditioner melted some 'load bearing' snow, which caused a large pile of snow to fall on the man.[/hide]

I'm not sure as to how rate this answer therefore I will not do just that. Not the intended answer though.

It is reasonable to assume that the man was sweating. But, why? That is the question. Grimbal, were you sweating when you.. oops, I almost gave it away. Sorry 'bout that.

[hide]Indoors[/hide] is the name of the game regarding the intended answer.

He was [hide]about to get married to someone with the surname Snowman.[/hide] That explains why he was sweating!

Yes! I mean, oh no. Oh God! Whyyyyy!

He turned on an airconditionner of the brand Snowman. He was also turned on by the air conditionner. Before they knew what happened they rushed to Las Vegas where you can get a wedding with air con and they lived happily ever after and got many little Snowmans.

Yeah, well, with future robotic laws it will be legal, eventually.

Well, at least he didn't turn into an air elemental.
