The one pushing will die because when the stone reaches the plank, it throws the other stone up to the pusher killing him

Nobody dies...

The curved out part on the upper ball makes it lighter than the ball on the other end of the scale. So it'll miss the head of the standing guy and won't have enough weight to lift the other stone. It'll end up rolling to the other side where the complete stone is.

My social scientific opinion.

Codedboy95:
Let's call L the length of the slope : L = sqrt(4^2
+ 3^2) = 5 squares
R is the ball's radius : R = 1 square
The perimeter : P = 2*Pi*R = 6.28 squares
The "percentage of rolled ball on the slope" :
T = L/P = 0.796 = 79.6%
So the rolled angle A : A = T*360 = 286
degrees
Then, as the hole on the ball is hard to mesure with
squares, I used pixels. It's 25 pixels large, when 7
squares are 255 pixels large.
I got l the hole size (at the top) :
l = (7*25)/255 = 0.686 squares
So : the hole angle equals the angle in the top corner of
the isosceles triangle, wich have as base : the hole, and
as top corner the center of the ball. Trigonometry :
tan(a/2) = (l/2)/R
a/2 = arctan((l/2)/R)
= 0.33 radians
a/2 = 19 degrees
Finnaly :
A-a/2 = 267
A+a/2 = 305 degrees
and 180 < 267 < 305 < 360+180
"half turn" < "rolled angle +/- hole size" < "one and a half"
When the ball is above the D-man, it doesn't strand into
the hole. So D survives.

Take a look at this pix and tell us who dies with reason.

I'm so so impressed by this response! Tempted to start following you. Just don't know if you're always this smart or just got this one by chance. .

Dude, I have another account. Just opened this to promote the blog. For your mind now, you sabi talk well abi.

For me, I think its A, he will die of boredom cos he's staring at a wall.

B dies.

Here is why

E rolls down the big stone. Considering the grove in the stone being rolled down and the approximate measurements, it is very likely that by the time the stone gets to D, the stone will be set in such a way that D's head will be in the groove and therefore does not crush D to death.

In the same vein, the stone gets the spiked see-saw. Apparently the rolling stone is not heavy enough to displace the stone on the other side, so that see-saw will likely remain as it is.
Now notice that there is a ramp on the spiked end of the see-saw. The rolling stone will quite likely have some momentum which will launch it into the air by the time it moves over the ramp. Now A would have been in real danger because the path of the stone in the air ends at A's point. But because there is a parapet on the platform on which A stands, the stone will likely his the parapet and fall back on B, thereby crushing B to death.


On second thought, its highly illogical that the stone will make the jump high enough to clear the static stone. It'll probably just come to rest beside the static stone and end its journey there. In that case nobody dies.

I think I'll follow your opinion how ever D's possibility of surviving is 50-50 is he stands, except he squats.
