Did the dead man die by some blunt force (crushed, smashed, etc)?

If not, did he die by a chemical agent (toxic gas, etc)?

If not, did he die by a biological agent (virus, etc)?

Did the living man experience something odd when the dead man died (odd means something unexpected, altough he did not see the dead man dying, but he could see something like an explosion and anything else)?

Okay let's get Angelito's riddle done!

I put all relevant questions and answers in one post so that anybody can join in and help, even though they haven't been following since page 9

The riddle:

A man lights a match, turns around and sees a dead man. Now he knows he will die soon aswell.
What was the dead man's profession?


As it stands:

-Gas system repairman?

No

-Oil rig worker?

No

-Suicide bomber?

No

-Does the match have anything to do with it?

Not really....was just to "enlighten" the place.

-Does it have anything to do with oxygen?

Yes

-The man knew that he was going to die from the lack of oxygen?

Yes

-Was he a trapped miner?

No

-Did the dead man light a match?

No

-Were they in space?

No

-Were they in a submarine?

No

-Was the man in an enclosed space (no air inlets or outlets to the outside world)?

Yes

-If so was the enclosed space created accidentally?

No

-If so was the enclosed space created maliciously?

No

-Is there water involved in the oxygen deprivation?

No

-Was there something else besides the man consuming oxygen?

No

-Were there other people present besides the man and the dead man?

No

-Did this event happen below the surface of the earth or the surface of the ocean (including inside mountains or hills)?

Yes

-Is the dead man's profession connected somehow with dark places?

Define "dark places"

-I mean places like caves, mines, deep water... where is no sun light but only lanterns...  lamps...

No

-Is the dead man's profession connected with places with shortage of oxygen?

Yes

-Is the dead man's profession connected somehow with the other man (with the match)?

No

-Is there a helmet near or on the dead man's head?

No

-Is it typical for dead man's profession, the worker to be equiped with swimmeret?

No

-Is it typical for dead man's profession, the worker to be equiped with any type of hat?

No

-Is it typical for dead man's profession, the worker to be equiped with any type of tools?

Yes

-Is the dead man's profession connected somehow with cars?

Hmmm...hard to answer....not important I would say

-Was the space they were in man made {or natural}?

Yes

-Did he see something in the light from the match that made him know he was going to die?

Yes... The dead man...


-Is the dead man's profession connected with cutting tools (knife, scythe, sickle, etc...)?

No

-Is the dead man's profession connected with concentrating force tools(hammer, maul, screwdriver, whip, writing implements, etc...)?

I'm doing hard to define the term "concentrating force tools" to be honest.

-Is the dead man's profession connected with guiding tools (set square, straightedge, etc...)?

No

-Is the dead man's profession connected with protecting tools?

No

-Is the dead man's profession connected with tools for seizing and holding (pliers, glove, wrench, etc...)?

No

-Does the living man think he will die of lack of oxygen?

Yes

No

Yes

No

-Were they in a room (or a closed place) that could be opened only with the dead man alive?

Yes

Was the dead man supposed to call for help to get them out? (and the living man couldn't obviously)

Was the dead man using some of it's tools to get them out (and the living man didn't know how to use them)?

Was the dead man more skillful or knowledgable about the specific thing to get them out (and the living man could do it if he knew how, but he didn't)?

Were they both required to cooperate to get them out? (that is, they couldn't do it alone)
