Yes, but this information was given afterwards, and as such you were the one to alter the circumstances.

[OMGAKITTY]

tl;dr, Robert Frost takes a chainsaw to the forest and creates Road C.

The information was there when I created the scenario, I just didn't bother to tell you about it until now. Granted, it was my fault I forgot it in the first post, but I didn't alter the circumstances.

Where does he get the chainsaw from?

[OMGAKITTY]

His pocket.

[Dark]

His pocket.

 

How do you know he is wearing any pants that have pockets or a shirt that has a pocket?

[OMGAKITTY]

Fine, Robert Frost rips the trees out of the ground with his bare hands and creates Road C.

How do you know he has hands? How do you know the trees don't have barbed wire attached to them?

Science has proven that it is impossible to travel without hands. Thus, since he is traveling, he has hands.

 

Your second point is completely invalid, as Robert Frost is man enough to not care what state the trees are in.

Then you agree that the situation you gave before without any additional information was not a paradox?

What if God hit Robert Frost with lightning. o_O

 

And let's assume, just for now, that God exists.

The additional information was there before, I didn't add it in. I just forgot to put it in the first post.

 

So yes, my first post in itself is not a paradox. My first post in its entirety, along with the additional information I forgot to add in, IS a paradox.

[~/Coolio Prime\~]

AGREED :D

[Dark]

Cool.

 

So, discuss the poem and how people think I ruined it.

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

Nope. I'm still raging. Dude you have to add all your assumptions. >=(

 

Then there will be a split second of world peace. If you do it, that is. "It" being, "adding your assumptions", which we'll assume is the face value meaning of "adding your assumptions". Also, we're assuming that you'll add them and they'll be there for all to see forever afterwards.

You ruined it for them because you made them associate it with meaningful thought.

There are an infinite number of things I forgot to put in the first post.

[BehindTheMask]

Robert Frost exits Road A the same way he came in' date=' making the counter 16 for both Road A and B.

[/quote']

 

Except, that if he were to walk down A again, than the counter would be 18 not 16.

 

Let us examine this

 

|___________________________________________________|

^

|_ Here is where the counter is.

 

If Robert Frost were to pass it going Right( down the road, going over the counter) than he would raise counter by one.

 

If Robert Frost were to pass it going left( up the road, again, going over the counter), than he would raise the counter by one, because the counter can only count whenever someone travels past it.

[Dark]

No. If you are heading towards the village and you pass the counter, it goes up by 1. Once you reach the village, you are shut off from using the paths. If you head towards the village, but come back before you reach it, and pass the counter, it goes DOWN by 1.

[BehindTheMask]

No. If you are heading towards the village and you pass the counter' date=' it goes up by 1. Once you reach the village, you are shut off from using the paths. If you head towards the village, but come back before you reach it, and pass the counter, it goes DOWN by 1.

[/quote']

 

Then the counter must have a sensor that tells it when to add 1 and subtract 1.

 

Therefore, Frost can trick the sensors.

Like I said before, it is assumed that Frost is a moron and cannot trick the sensors.

Like I said before, it is assumed that Frost is a moron and cannot trick the sensors.

 

 

Well, if Frost is a moron, he wouldn't be very surefooted.

 

Thus, he would kick several rocks by walking into them.

 

What if he were to near the end of one path, and accidently kick a rock that flew forward and activated the sensor. The activation of the sensor would spook Frost, most likely thinking it was a ghost or some such. He would then run all the way back to the beginning.

 

However, the rock would have triggered the sensor, causing the counter of the road he had previously tread to read 17. He would then proceed to take the other path, still at 16, and be on his merry way.

 

EDIT: Just noticed that the counter goes down one if something else passes it.

 

In his mad rush back, Frost would undoubtedly kick more rocks.

 

Thus, the sensor would go down at least 2 (1 for frost, and then additional decreases for each rock kicked past it). Then the counter would read 16 and 15 (or lower). Frost would then take the lower path having forgotten about the ghost (he's a moron, remember?) and be on his merry way.

[Lyfe.]

So' date=' two roads diverged into a yellow wood.

 

And then Robert Frost walked along. He [b']literally[/b] wanted to take the road less traveled by.

 

The first road (henceforth referred to as Road A) had a counter to see how many people went through this road. 16 people.

 

The second road (henceforth referred to as Road B) also had a counter to see how many people went through. Again, 16 people.

 

Robert Frost literally wants to take the road less traveled by. For some odd reason.

 

He hits a dilemma. Both roads have an equal amount of people. Therefore, he cannot take the road less traveled by.

 

So he goes down Road A. Now, Road A has 17 people, and Road B has 16 people.

 

Therefore, Road B is now the road less traveled by.

 

Robert Frost exits Road A the same way he came in, making the counter 16 for both Road A and B.

 

Another dilemma.

 

So he goes down Road B, this time around. Now, Road A has 16 people, and Road B just received 1 to make 17.

 

Therefore, Road A is now the road less traveled by.

 

Robert Frost exits Road B the same way he came in, making the counter 16 for both Road A and Road B.

 

Assuming he must take one of these roads, he will continue taking Road A and Road B ad infinitum, as he will ALWAYS take the road more traveled by.

 

Discuss.

 

Easy. You make your own road (henceforth referred to as Road C)

You obviously assumed that the rocks were on the path, and you obviously assumed that the sensor could not differenciate (sp?) between people and rocks.

 

Easy. You make your own road (henceforth referred to as Road C)

You kids these days and your failure in reading. When I was a kid, we used to read books about Russia. We didn't have all these morons who would turn out to be hobos.
