2 truths and a lie

[Jazz_]

That sounds like what happened to me - my first karate teacher was Japanese and great, but he had to go back to Japan. Then there was a steady decline in the quality of teaching. (I stopped after 2 years too ;))

[Shahal]

Nice game !! I like it.

[Pendragon]

My laptop is:

1) An Acer
2) Red
3) A 16" screen

[Olga4real]

# 3, I guess

[aliengirl]

My choice is #2.

[Heathcliff]

Number 1

Process of elimination.

[Pendragon]

My choice is #2.

Quite so, it is boring black!

Go for it, Alien Girl! (Dang, that sound like a title for a super heroine!)

[aliengirl]

Quite so, it is boring black!

Go for it, Alien Girl! (Dang, that sound like a title for a super heroine!)

Thanks Pen. I'd like to be a super heroine. Ha! Ha! Ha!

I have recently read:

1. Emma by Jane Austen
2. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
3. Middlemarch by George Eliot

[Heathcliff]

Number one.
Judging a book by its cover - well, its title - Emma sounds the least appetising.
A reason why you wouldn't read it.

[Pendragon]

#3 because the mind usually tries to come up with two truths first, and the fingers follow the mind

[Beautifull]

I pick #2!

[aliengirl]

#3 because the mind usually tries to come up with two truths first, and the fingers follow the mind

Hats off to your little gray cells!

[Pendragon]

Hummmm... speaking of little grey cells

1) I cannot stand Miss Marple
2) Sherlock Holmes is my favorite detective
3) I read "Curtain" starring Hercule Poirot several times

[aliengirl]

I say #2.

[The Comedian]

Lie is number 1!

[Jazz_]

#3 - you've only read it once?

[Indyben]

3 please

[Pendragon]

Lie is number 1!

Indeed! Love the books and the BBC television productions!

Comedian up next! :gnorsi:

[The Comedian]

Alright -- The theme for this one is my LitNet life. As per the rules, two of the below are true. And one is a lie. Spot the lie.

1. I change my "occupation" in my profile all the time.
2. A long time ago. . .I used Chewbacca as my avatar.
3. When I first registered, I had Watchmen listed as my "favorite book".

[Pendragon]

Don't recall a Chewbacca, so I'll say #2 is the lie

[Olga4real]

I would pick number one

[papayahed]

I'll go with #3 just because

[The Comedian]

I'll go with #3 just because

The prize goes to Snoopy and Woodstock.

I've never listed Watchmen as my favorite book, though I took my name from that novel. I do, however, change my profile "occupation" all the time, but I haven't changed my real occupation in about 10 years (nor do I plan to). And I did, for a brief while, have Chewy as my avatar.

You're up papayahed!

[Pendragon]

bump!

[papayahed]

ok, here goes:

1) I have started but never finished Don Quixote and The Three Musketeers.

2) I have a small tatto on my shoulder of my grandparents names

3) The results from my last physical exam were: "Unremarkable exam"

[Olga4real]

I say it's number 2

[Pendragon]

I'm gonna go with #3

[Basil]

I'll take #1 because as far as I know, Don Quixote and the Three Musketeers isn't even a book.

[Indyben]

Without meaning to insult your I.Q 3

[papayahed]

I say it's number 2

correct, I don't have any tattoos.


I'll take #1 because as far as I know, Don Quixote and the Three Musketeers isn't even a book.

Don Quixote and the Man in the Iron Mask?


Without meaning to insult your I.Q 3


It was just a physical.:hat:

[Indyben]

Oh...I missed the "physical" part of it. Lol :P

[Olga4real]

I guess it's my turn.
Here we go:

(my native language is Russian)

1, I re-read The Master and Margarita (Bulgakov) 3 times - once in Hungarian and twice in Russian,

2, I read Brothers Karamasov in Hungarian,

3. My favourite artist is Picasso.

[Indyben]

3 please :)

[Pendragon]

I agree with #3 being the lie. I don't think your atvar is a Picasso, which it would be were he your favorite painter

[dafydd manton]

I think it's #1 - TWICE in Magyar, once Po Russki

[Olga4real]

Ok, you both pendragon and dafydd are right. It is number 3.

Why would someone who hates lies be good at it?

[Pendragon]

Go, Indy. You were first with the answer!

[Indyben]

Oh oh ok ok sorry sorry. errrrrrm....
1)I kill spiders in the name of my sister.
2)I am an MMORPG NERD!
3)I love horror movies

[dafydd manton]

Whilst not wishing to besmirch your character, I have a stange feeling that you aren't a horror movie fiend, therefore No 3.

[Jazz_]

2) I'll assume you're a different kind of nerd ;)

[Pendragon]

#1 since it is the last choice. You probably kill spiders on sight, sister or no sister

[dafydd manton]

Well, one of us is right, unless the spider types the answer!

[Indyben]

Lol no Bismirching received Mr Manton! It' three. Although I'm currently working on a horror/slasher flick, Horror films scare the crap outta me.

My sister is quite afraid of spiders, so I kill them and then say that it was for my sister who I love very much.

and yes, I love online games.

[Heathcliff]

Aw. Missed it.

Teehee.

[Pendragon]

Beep! Earth to Daffy Dave! Your turn, mon ami!

[dafydd manton]

Verzeihung!! I dropped off for a minute there!

I have 34 different translations of the Bible.

I spent 10 years of my working life on top of a pile of bomb rubble.

I have passed 25 driving tests

[Olga4real]

I pick number 3

[aliengirl]

As you have given no numbers sir, my choice is :

"I spent 10 years of my working life on top of a pile of bomb rubble."

[dafydd manton]

Olga4real wins the first prize, by being first to see right through me. It's actually 26.

[Indyben]

Wow....like the Bible or are you just educated in many different languages?

[Heathcliff]

Or do you own a book shop?

[Olga4real]

Olga4real wins the first prize, by being first to see right through me. It's actually 26.

Are you a driving instructor? I am learning to drive right now, and I have already passed 1 driving test but I need to pass another one to get my license. But 26, pleeeaaase!
:confused5:


Verzeihung!! I dropped off for a minute there!

I have 34 different translations of the Bible.

I spent 10 years of my working life on top of a pile of bomb rubble.

I have passed 25 driving tests

Please tell us about 34 translations or Bible and 10 years working on top of a pile of bomb rubble.
Until then I will find out two truths and one lie about myself.

[dafydd manton]

Ah, yes, well, driving instructor, cars, buses, motorcycles, and in the past tracked vehicles, plus all kinds of other strange stuff. Including (promise you won't laugh) a National Vocational Qualification in Bus and Coach Handling. Vocation!!!!!


Wow....like the Bible or are you just educated in many different languages?

I do have it German, Russian and, inevitably Welsh, but the rest are English.

[Olga4real]

Ok I almost forgot that's my turn.

1. I met my boyfriend via internet.

2. My favourite drink is vodka.

3. My favourite food is caviar.

[dafydd manton]

Anybody who drinks vodka hasn't got to meet people via the internet, therefore #3.

[aliengirl]

I say #1.

[Indyben]

hrm...3?

[Olga4real]

Anybody who drinks vodka hasn't got to meet people via the internet, therefore #3.

You are correct - I hate vodka, although it is not unusual for Russians to use internet and drink vodka at the same time.
So Dafydd it's your turn now!

[dafydd manton]

1. My first car was 48 colours
2. I spent the first 16 years of my life living in the grounds of mental hospitals.
3. I survived an air crash

[papayahed]

I'll go with #1.

[aliengirl]

Is it #3?

[dafydd manton]

H'mmmmmm!!

[Pendragon]

#2 It being true doesn't make you a mental patient, perhaps you were the Doctor's kid. After all, here in Marion, VA, the mental hospital has a home where the head Doctor onced lived with his children

[dafydd manton]

Pendragon is right, that was the lie, it was actually 17 years. You're also right in that my Dad worked in mental health, so we had staff housing. Incidentally, most of the patients were considerably less flaky than the staff!

[papayahed]

Pendragon is right, that was the lie, it was actually 17 years. You're also right in that my Dad worked in mental health, so we had staff housing. Incidentally, most of the patients were considerably less flaky than the staff!

You stink!! I was sure that one was true bcause you brought it up in the other thread.

[dafydd manton]

Tee Hee!

[Pendragon]

Hummm...

1) I have never flown on an airplane, though I did go up on a helicopter while vacationing this years in Gatlinburg, Tenn.
2) I know the helicopter pilot for the local hospital quiet well
3) We are on a fly-over zone for military helicopters

[Olga4real]

My guess in # 1

[papayahed]

#3

s5cr

[dafydd manton]

That only leaves me #2,although I'd have preferred #3, because helicopters don't usually like mountains.

[Pendragon]

My guess in # 1

And you'd be correct. They have the helicopter rides, but I felt it was too much money for too short a ride.

Tad Wilson, a friend of man, is the local medflight helicopter pilot.

We are indeed under a military flyover, both copters and planes, headed perhaps to the so-called "Underground White House" which is, I'm told, not that far away by air, Camp David, a Presidential weekend retreat in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains, not far away by air, or to Mount Weather, a real place; eighty-five acres located forty-five miles west of Washington and 1725 feet above sea level, near the town of Bluemont, VA, not far away by air.

Go, Olga! You win!

[Pendragon]

Bluemont is an unincorporated village in Loudoun County, Virginia located at the base of Snickers Gap in the Blue Ridge Mountain not far away by air.

Go, Olga! You win!

[adityasam]

01 - I've never seen a baseball game live
02 - I've been to Manhattan
03 - My username is the real one, not the sign.....

Thank you, Pendragon I play for the sake of the game and I don't have anything to say right now. Next time.

[Olga4real]

01 - I've never seen a baseball game live
02 - I've been to Manhattan
03 - My username is the real one, not the sign.....

My guess is # 2.

[adityasam]

Brilliant!

[Pendragon]

And Olga wins again! Encore! Encore!

[dafydd manton]

Monsieur le Pendragon, if I remember aright, Olga doesn't particularly enjoy setting questions, so could we benefit from some of your experiences? The last one was a little teaser.

[Olga4real]

And Olga wins again! Encore! Encore!

Thank you. I think I have a sense for lies, it is the only advantage when you date a player. :-)

Here are my truths and a lie:

1. I have flown a military helicopter more than once several times,
2. When I flew a HUGHES for the first time I sat next to pilot where usually mechanic sits.
3. My friend is a helicopter pilot.

[dafydd manton]

Can't think of a Hughes with seats side-by side, only in tandem, so I'm guessing #2.

[Olga4real]

Monsieur le Pendragon, if I remember aright, Olga doesn't particularly enjoy setting questions, so could we benefit from some of your experiences? The last one was a little teaser.

How could it happen that I didn't notice your post Dafydd? Most likely you posted this comment while I was composing my questions.

[dafydd manton]

How could it happen that I didn't notice your post Dafydd? Most likely you posted this comment while I was composing my questions.

Sorry, I was just going on last time. Jumped the gun a bit. Please accept my apologies!

[Olga4real]

Sorry, I was just going on last time. Jumped the gun a bit. Please accept my apologies!

You don't have to apologize, Dafydd! It's all right. Next time I let Pendragon to post his questions instead of me.

[Olga4real]

I repeat my questions, so the game goes on!

1. I have flown a military helicopter more than once several times,
2. When I flew a HUGHES for the first time I sat next to pilot where usually mechanic sits.
3. My friend is a helicopter pilot.

[adityasam]

#1...

[Pendragon]

2 as it seems to contradict the other two

[Indyben]

1 1 1 1 1 1 1

[dafydd manton]

I'd have gone for #2, 'cos I can't think of a Hughes with side-by-side seating, but it's been taken, so I'll go for #3!

[Olga4real]

I'd have gone for #2, 'cos I can't think of a Hughes with side-by-side seating, but it's been taken, so I'll go for #3!

Finally!!! You won!!!

I don't have helicopter pilot as a friend. My best friend is pharmacist, she could make me fly but the other way... LOL

I have flown a couple of times by a heli, mostly by HUDGES 500D, which had 4 seats two front and two backseats placed side-by-side.

[dafydd manton]

Ok, good questions.

Lets try:

I am terrified of heights.

I have a model railway in my office.

I used to drink a bottle and a half of spirits every day.

[mrv]

Wouldn't doubt the third one. My guess is #1

[Olga4real]

Then I say 3 it's not possible to drink so much every day, although it depends on the size of the bottle.

[dafydd manton]

Just to keep you going untli somebody tries the third option, I was 15 years in the Roayl Air Force, flew in about 30 types of aircraft (fixed wing, rotary, single engined, multi-engined, glider, jet, turbo prop, conventional piston engined), and I always buy my spirits in 70cl bottles.

[Indyben]

I'm gonna say 3

[adityasam]

#2...

[dafydd manton]

mrv gets it with No. 1. Bit of a cheat really - I developed a fear of heights on the Funkturm in Berlin (bit like the Eiffel Tower), but managed to overcome it. Fear of heights and fear of flying are completely seperate. The model railway was built for the kids, and is now for the grandchildren (if you believe that). The spirits thing is not a good idea!

All your, ma'am!

[mrv]

Yay! I won!

Oh! My turn?

1 I have gone without food and water for more than two days!

2 If I was hanging on to a ledge and letting go of it could kill me, I would still 100% let go if a spider came that way!

3 I have had a recurring nightmare that has made me believe that in my past life I was a captive (POW or something) and I was shot dead!

[adityasam]

#1...

[Olga4real]

I think it's number 3

[Jazz_]

I guess I'll say #2, since that's the only option left :)

[mrv]

3 it is

http://www.xprize.org/files/img/homepage/mckinsey_report_feature.pngOlga4real!

[Olga4real]

3 it is

http://www.xprize.org/files/img/homepage/mckinsey_report_feature.pngOlga4real!

Thank you for the prise! I love it!

This time as we agreed before I would like to ask dafydd manton to put his questions instead of me.

[Pendragon]

Come on, Daffy Dave! Your lies and truth please? :seeya:

[dafydd manton]

Olga, you are too kind! OK

I am qualified as an International cricket umpire.

Between meeting and marrying, my wife and I only took 107 days. (3 1/2 months)

I used to be a drummer in a Punk band.

[Jerrybaldy]

number 1

[Indyben]

3 please

[Jazz_]

#2 :)

[adityasam]

No Doubt 1....Because I assume cricket is not popular in Wales!

[dafydd manton]

It ain't No. 1, because I qualified whilst in the RAF!

It ain't No.2 because.....well..... it just seemed right. (And was)

It is No. 3. because when I was a drummer in a Rock band (largely Heavy Metal), punk hadn't been invented.....and wouldn't be for about 20 years! Incidentally, I was rubbish!

Ben, she's all yours, mate!

[dafydd manton]

Cooee! Ben!!! Mr C!!!!! Where ARE you? We need you to set us a pack of lies!!!

[Indyben]

OH MY LORD I'M SO SORRY!!!
Been kinda distracted over the past few days...

1)I sang in a rock band once, and have since been looking for a vocalist position in a heavy metal band.
2)I love Death Metal
3)I despise Iron Maiden

[Pendragon]

I'm going to say #3

[adityasam]

Aaarggghh.....I'll go with #1..

[Olga4real]

I guess it`s number 2. Why not? I can imagine that!

[Indyben]

The answer is....2!
I sang in a band called "Midnight Dream" at my high school's Battle of the Bands.

Although I can listen to practically everything I don't go near Death Metal because the lyrics are scary and disturbing-however I love all other kinds of Metal.

And Iron Maiden are my idols.

[Olga4real]

You see I can`t help it - I pop in for a second and win.

Let`s find out something:

1, I am spending my vacation in London now.
2, I will spend my Christmas vacation in Ghana.
3, One of my grandfathers was Cossack.

[dafydd manton]

I suspect No. 1, because if you were in London you'd have complained about the weather by now.

[Indyben]

2 please :banana:

[adityasam]

I'll go with #1...

[Olga4real]

I suspect No. 1, because if you were in London you'd have complained about the weather by now.

I am not complaining about the weather because today it was hot and sunny. If you mean that Brits are always talking about weather - I am not Brit :-)

My grandfather was cossak indeed and my grandma too.

I wish I could go to Ghana for Christmas or for whatever but... I will spend Christmas at home in Hungary.

Indyben is a winner!!!

[Indyben]

SCORE!!!

1)I once vomited in the middle of about 200,000 people
2)I am planning to build a wood workshop in my garage even though woodwork was one of my worst subjects in school
3)I have won first prize in a junior art exhibition

[dafydd manton]

I think I'll go for No. 2, but I don't know why. No. 1 has a genuine ring of truth about it!

[Heathcliff]

3)I have won first prize in a junior art exhibition
I fink. :)

[dafydd manton]

(Howdy stranger!)

[Indyben]

I know! She hasn't been on in ages!

[dafydd manton]

Was it something we said? Either that or the wrong deodorant!

[Heathcliff]

I came back.
Bah. School is busy.

1. I have a vivid memory of riding Puff and Billy (the train thing)

2. I used to think I was allergic to cauliflower

3. My mum made my First Communion dress

[Indyben]

Ummm...lol it's kinda cool that you started because you got it right lol.

I think it's 1

[dafydd manton]

I'll go for two, but only because an allergy to cauliflower should be rewarded, real or imaginary. (Was it Mark Twain who said that it was just cabbage with a college education?)

[Pendragon]

Let's make it 3 to round out the answers

[adityasam]

I'll go with #3

[Jazz_]

All the options are gone :(

Isn't it "Puffing Billy"? (The steam is him puffing) - or is that what makes it a lie :p

[Pendragon]

Let's take a fresh start here, shall we?

1) I collect Sherlock Holmes books
2) I collect Hercule Pirot books
3) I collect Sister Fidelma books

[dafydd manton]

Don't see Sister Fidelma being challenging enough for you, so I'm going with 3!

[Olga4real]

I say it's number 2

[Pendragon]

I say it's number 2

Dang, Olga, you always get it right! :hurray::hurray::hurray:

And Daffy, I enjoy Sister Fidelma for the wonderful insight to Ancient Ireland and the early Catholic Church... :)

[Olga4real]

I am glad that I was right. I can't find out any lies at the moment, so Dafydd, would you post something instead of me?

[Olga4real]

I see nobody wants to post instead of me. Then let's see what can I find out:



1. I've been reading a book for a year now.

2. I use 3 languages every day.

3. I paint my apartment by myself.

[Jazz_]

I'll say #3...

[Indyben]

2 please

[Pendragon]

As number one is the only choice left, it falls to me

[Olga4real]

Almost everything I said is true: I have been reading a Svejk for more than a year it's my laziness. I do use 3 language every day - I live and work in Hungary so I use Hungarian at work, with my Hungarian friends and with my kids also. My mother language is Russian and I watch Russian tv every day, talk to my Ukrainian friend almost every day and guess which is the third language? You see I am here on this site everyday...
When I painted my apartment my daughters helped me from time to time so....

the winner is Jazz!!! :party:

[Jazz_]

:D

1) I voted for "Activate" at my uni student union elections
2) Today I received a huge box of free chocolate from Cadbury
3) I plan to have pizza for dinner tonight

[adityasam]

#3...

[Olga4real]

I vote for number 2

[Pendragon]

And I am left with number one, again...

[Jazz_]

And I am left with number one, again...

And #1 it is :D

[adityasam]

That shows how useless I am at guessing!!!!

[Pendragon]

Lessee here:

1) My computer desktop is currently "Finding Nemo"
2) I still own my first computer since I cannot bear to throw it out.
3) I am a poor typist and very slow at data entry

[AdoreroDio]

I'm going for number three.

[adityasam]

I too wanted to go for #3.....but I will go for #1

[Olga4real]

then I say number 2

[Indyben]

1 please

[Pendragon]

then I say number 2

Olga, are you for real? You are an excellent guesser! I sold that first computer and have rebuilt the current one three times. The other two are true!

[Pendragon]

Try to jump start this thread again... Sigh

1) I saw four army helicopters go over on the flyby yesterday
2) Helicopters go by often on the flyby from a Government base in the mountains
3) I have never flown in a helicopter

[papayahed]

Crap! I know there's a base near you and I know you mentioned somewhere about flying in a helicopter, to bad I can't remember if you said you did or did not.

I'm going with #1.

[adityasam]

OK #2 Then!

[Olga4real]

Number 3, please!

[Jazz_]

They have all been said, but I'll go with Olga and say #3 ;)

[Olga4real]

Dear Pendragon will we ever know the truth?

[Pendragon]

Actually it was number one, as there were five helicopters, not four! You're up, Grover!

[Scheherazade]

So, is it Papaya's turn?

[Pendragon]

So, is it Papaya's turn?

She'll always be Grover to me, but yes, it's Papaya's turn!

[Thomas Lucero]

So, is it Papaya's turn?

Restarting the thread.

1. I have never designed a nuclear reactor.
2. I have never been the lead in a play.
3. I have never voted for the winner in a Presidential election.

[Buh4Bee]

You have been the lead in a play.

[Pendragon]

#1 is the probable lie, but consider that it is never said that it worked or was even for a functional one
#3 could be true, as it doesn't have to be a national presidential election, but for a club, a class, etc
#2 Could be false, but also true

I'll go with One being the lie.

[Twota]

#3 is the lie ;0

[lilimarlene]

1) I AM closer than you think.

2) I`ve dined with royalty.

3) My uncle is an entomologist and studies beetles, he named a new species after me.

[tonywalt]

3 is the lie (1 is subjective, some people are close to you i reckon)

[Buh4Bee]

1- you are close to who?

[lilimarlene]

3 is the lie (1 is subjective, some people are close to you i reckon)

well that was an easy one, but yes you are correct!

[lilimarlene]

1- you are close to who?

I'm not telling.
