Well there are 35 people. The 34 in the room already plus you. The question didn't state how many people were alive or dead.

Since the word "you" doesn't specifically state the number of the people who's gone in to make up the 34 people in the bedroom, then we can only account for the dead bodies while the remainders would always remain inconclusive/unknown until the figure that join the party is given.
To me the number of people in the bedroom is "X".

You alone will be left in the room, the remaining 4 have escaped during the shootout

•You enter a bedroom, there are 34 people.

In this statement, it is not stated that the 34 people are in a bedroom.


•You kill 30 people.
It is also not stated that the 30 persons you killed were from the 34 mentioned persons above.

•Now how many people are in the bedroom?
No one is in the bedroom.


Lol... That's my answer o... Make Una no laugh me! grin

Re: If You Get This Question, You Are A Critical Thinker. by hardbody: 3:21pm On Jul 17, 2020
the question is asking how many people are in the room, regardless of whether they are alive or dead. Whether someone is alive or dead, they are still a person, therefore the correct answer is 35.

There is an alternative answer that depends on the way i choose to interpret the question. The fact that there are 34 people in the bedroom is stated after the statement that you’ve entered the bedroom. Therefore, someone could assume that there are 34 people in the bedroom only after you’ve entered. In that case, the answer would be 34.

If you disagree with me, argue with your ancestors

Nice one.
People just conjure ambiguous riddles all the time. I bet by the time the OP states the answer, there will be multiple flaws in it.

Many people will say the answer is five because 34-30 you killed, that's 4 left plus you equals five.

But can you kill 30 people and still remain inside the room? undecided you will find an escape route.

Also can you kill 30 people out of 34 and the remaining ones will still remain there looking at you? They will also look for an escape route.

Logically the answer is 5 but naturally and instinctively, it's zero.

But me I'll go for 34 or 35 depending on whether you or the lucky ones choose to remain or not because the dead bodies should also count.

Why kill them in the first instance when you ain't an assassin? There should be a motive for killing now.

Actually, you might kill people and still stay there with the rest. If people can easily escape from the room as the killer started shooting, then it's hard to believe that they waited till 30 are dead already before the rest attempted to escape.
And going by one's instinct as you highlighted, there will still be 30people in the room (either dead or alive, people is still people).
The problem with all these kind of riddles is that, it is often open to multiple logical interpretations which can't be faulted, and by the time the poster of the riddle drops his own answer, it might even be less logical that what most people have dropped here already

The answer is "1"

You are the only one in the bedroom, because you surely didnt kill them in the bedroom.
You only run to hide inside the bedroom

It's not categorically stated that those killed are from inside the bedroom. So the answer is 35.

Killing 30 out of 34 doesn't reduce the number of people in the room. So the number still remains 34 ( including the murderer)
