allen113:
Watin 34 people they find inside bedroom, na house party? puff all of them joor.




meanwhile my answer is 35 for the same reason stated by the girl above me.




I had to modify my response owing to the fact that the number of people in the room was mentioned after the murderer entered the room. It would have been 35 if the number of people in the room was declared before the murderer came in.

Nice try but you can't count DEAD people smiley


The riddle says " how many people are in the room" not the number of people alive

Answer is 5 you killed 30 then you are left with 4 people, then adding yourself makes it 5 people.
Those who are dead should no longer be counted as people (they are no longer living organisms).

info not sufficient. We don't know the actual number of people inside the bedroom initially..


33, statistic became 34 after the killer came in

We are not sure that those 34 people were actually inside the bedroom


LOL, the originator of this riddle is not Lai Mohammed na, so no need for distrust.

It is impossible for a lone gun man to kill 30 people in a bedroom filled with 34 people.

They will rush you....the instinct for survival in human, will make them over power you.

You might kill 4 but the rest 30 in that bedroom will over power you.

That is in movies, in real life it is impossible, 100 people aren't stupid, some will take cover and attack you.

This life and death issue.

Survival instinct is very powerful in humans.

If humans are in a tight corner, they will do everything to survive.

hardbody:
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

Op, I was about to say exactly this, until I saw it.

This is 100% solid.

If the answer is not this, then it is nothing.

There are 34 people in the bedroom... Cos the question didn't tell us that you killed anyone in the bedroom, you might have killed them in a mall, church, prison or farm who knows.

To be clear there are only 33 people In the room aside from you.

There would be only 1 person in the bedroom: you

If you kill 30 then the remaining 3 would run away leaving only you in the bedroom.

Simple

hope this is not real analysis.
Mere assumption that 30 people are lying down dead excluding the shooter. But on a real term, there should be 4 persons if the dead are not counted and 34 if they are with the shooter inclusive.
