Analyse critically and tell us who dies first

I think C would be d first to die, D may not die cos he may bend down while the stone is rolling downward.

The stone will land on that lever n press C, d lever has spikes and would just pin C to death. The stone would be stopped by that bump.

After that, the other stone would rise cos of the fulcrum and crush B to death too.

A is very safe.

I think E will die first. The stone is a well rounded one which, in the process of pushing it might roll back first

But E is pushing n not pulling now?

I modified it already. I wanted to type pushing.
Anyway, I chose E with the assumption that he might not have enough strength to push the giant stone, thereby thrown off the pavement in the process, should the stone roll back towards him.
In the alternative, the man may be thrown off balance considering the force he would apply to pushing the stone, thereby falling off that pavement.



**MODIFIED BELOW**

I think B will die first if E pushes the stone.

Reason: The stone would pass over D because of the velocity with which it rolls down the steep surface, D can easily spot the stone and quickly stoop to allow it roll past, thus the stone would hi the lever, which will in turn causes the other stone at the other end of the lever to bounce and fall into B's space, thus killing him.

Cc: Shervydman, I chose another option. B will die first in my opinion.

Nice Idea.....but what about C? Before the second stone roll over to B, the lever has to be pressed towards C, my opinion too.

Yes the lever will be pressed towards C but it would touch see because there's another big stone at the other end of the lever that will prevent it from touching ground i.e. C.

The lever will bounced off the 'pushed stone' while the 2nd stone will roll over into B's space thus killing him in the process. My opinion too.

OK......very good.

Let's forget who dies first but do u think the second stone can roll over to B if the first stone is not at rest?

Yes. The force with which the 1st stone presses the other end of the lever will make the 2nd stone to be raised up or slightly high than the pavement leading to where B was standing and can roll over.

Shervy arent you going to church today?
