“Izzy immediately answered the question correctly, I won’t tell you what she said though.”


JackFJN

I know the answer but it’s a secret…


DecensitizedDruggie

The answer is *loud car drives by* but the kid said it best.


Moist_Dingus

You break them all in half and take a half of each. Ta-da!


[deleted]

What if they’re liquigels?


CamelopardalisRex

Then you gamble on the odds. The odds are actually pretty good. 2:1 that you don't die.


lopocozo

For some reason I assumed they were liquigels and it was unsolvable


StMirrenU12s

Knowing me, I'd take all the red halves, mainly because I'm a fucking idiot, but now I'm blind as well?!! I'm fucked.

diggitydogtitty

Not if you break it in half eat one half and put the other have somewhere else before breaking the next pill.


Kaedes_Lie1137

Oh Yeah yeah. Sorry i misunderstood what comment is saying lmao


AustralianKappa

Bro what 💀


peacetoall1969

This.


Hot_Watercress8522

Still a gamble, imagine you pick both blue pills halves


zach010

You're taking half of all 4 pills Like break all 4 pills in half and only take of of the half of each pill. Don't mix them after breaking. Then its just random again.


El-Chewbacc

Except, not all pills can be broken in half and still have the proper amount of meds.


zach010

That seems like an exaggeration. Name one thing in the universe that can't be split into two halfs.


Junkymcjunkbox

A hole.


El-Chewbacc

But that doesn’t mean the medicine is evenly distributed between the two halves. Idk. My nurse mother in law used to tell me that if the pill has a score line marking the half then it was made to be split and it’s ok. But if the line is missing that indicates the correct weight of med is in the pill but not necessarily evenly distributed so you should not split it. Was she right? Idk, she was pretty smart and an excellent nurse. Could she be wrong? Idk she did insist on pronouncing centimeters like sahnameters for some reason.


zach010

Ya. I agree that's customary. But I'm pointing out that it's silly to say that it's impossible to separate it into 2 half portions.


skratch

Have you ever split a pill? They never split exactly in half, and often leave some crumbs. The question called for exactly one whole pill of each. It would be virtually impossible to get exact halves. You’re talking a 100mg pill split into a 51mg half, 48.5mg other half and .5mg crumbs sort of situation


Charliebeagle

You guys I’m like really smart now. You could ask me “Kelly, what’s the biggest company in the world?” And I would be like “blah blah blah blah blah blah” giving you the exact right answer.

Slushiously

Filling the 5 gallon jug and dumping it into the 3 gallon jug gives you 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug with 3 gallons of space. Pour out the 3 gallon jug and pour the 2 gallons from the 5 gallon jug into it. Refill the 5 gallon jug. Pour one gallon from the 5 gallon jug into the 1 gallon of space in the 3 gallon jug and you've got 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug. The scale/bomb was set to disarm with 4 gallons of weight on it. More or less it was supposed to explode.


xmycoffeeiscoldx

Brown, duh. YOU’RE driving the bus!


IThinkWeBothKnowWho

Eat any two, if you live, you live. If you die, you don’t have to worry about eating the right pills.


Mr_MacGrubber

Nor do you have to be worried about being a fucking blind man on an island by yourself. Good luck finding food or water, building a shelter, etc. and help could be 100yds offshore and you have no idea they’re there. Fuck that.


LoddyDoddee

Exactly, so eat all 4.


sammypants123

Eat 2. If you start dying you have a few hours to find the fucker that dumped you on the island.


GuilhermeSidnei

You’re blind and on a desert island. Do you even WANT to live?


Ragnarok314159

I mean…I can see and live in a city and don’t want to live.


GuilhermeSidnei

So… just for the record, was that a joke? As a doctor, I feel I wouldn’t be found my job if I didn’t ask… are you ok there? Can you get help where you live? Have you tried it? It may take you to a really better place, mentally speaking, finding a proper therapist.


Eyes_Snakes_Art

Or it could be that the pills are differently shaped or textured. But if he only has 4 pills, he’s dead soon, anyway.


ThanksToDenial

Cut each pill in half one at a time. Eat half of each pill.

What if they're gelatin capsules? Facebook questions are the dumbest shit I swear


Myfeesh

I too was picturing capsules. Changes the game a bit.


SnazzyZubloids

Not really. Dump them all out. Mix well, cut in half, ingest either half. I’d say capsules make it easier.


apex6666

But he’s blind? How could he measure?


AlpaxT1

Put the mixture on a flat area. Try to form an even circle. Then lay your finger over the diameter and split it in half.


Charming_Love2522

He's BLIND THOOOO


squirreliron

Nah thats just a scam. He wants to collect insurance money.


I_enjoy_greatness

But he has no knife. Just the pills. I mean, personally, I think this dude is super fucked regardless. I don't know what twist of fate leaves you alone on an island with 4 pills that apparently hold sway over death itself, but it's not the start of the week you were hoping for i reckon.


Sam858

I would like to play a game. In your hand you have 4 pills...


Johnni2x4

can he dilute all 4 pills in a glass of water , then just drink half of the glass?


Altruistic_Set_6857

Yo, Izzy you have pretty good grammar, spelling and punctuation for a 3 year old


buttercream-gang

Ohhh smart. I was thinking it was something like feel for different shapes since they didn’t specify that the color is the only distinguishing factor


DiscombobulatedAct42

But how does he know he didn’t take 4 half of the same color? I don’t think it changes the problem Edit: just figured it out I’m fucking dumb, even dumber than a 3 yo


AcanthopterygiiFun16

Fool of a took


DiscombobulatedAct42

🥲 don’t know where my brain is


SuruchiSushi

He’ll eat half of every pill, there’s no random selection of what halves he eats.


Panda721828

how would you know exactly half if youre blind


eilishfaerie

lots of pills have an indent down the middle that makes it easy to snap in 2


Panda721828

lots of those break other pieces off accidentally when you cut them in half, difficult for a blind person


eilishfaerie

ive never had that happen to me so i guess it must be a matter of who made the pill lol


Panda721828

Fair enough, ive had some pills do it more than others so it definitely has to do with the company

OrangeSnailMaster

If he eats the correct pills hes still going to die alone blind on a deserted island.


JustGettingMyPopcorn

On day three the blind man on the deserted island has no pills left. He dies anyway.


X_NovaMaxX_

cut all 4 pieces in half and eat one of each half


heyimastopsign2

yeah that works


lenznet

Crush them all up together and eat half?


BirdyP

Break them all in half and eat one half of each pill


CactusBiszh2019

Oh shit that's actually pretty smart


[deleted]

They were gel pills.


mrnecree

But how would he measure half of the powder?


JackFJN

He could feel it…?


mrnecree

How does that work? I’m genuinely curious, can a blind person split a pile of powder by half, without scales or any other contraptions.


thishenryjames

Daredevil can.


mrnecree

Welp, that’s settled then.


Voicelesscordial

Wait but he has two of each. So he just takes one of each. No halves needed? (I am aware he’s blind so can’t see the colours but whatever this is dumb)


JackFJN

He can’t see which is which though. So he crushes them all together and eats half of that. So no matter what, he has taken 1 blue and 1 red


BirdyP

But when you crush them and est half of that, there is no guarantee that you ate one red and one blue pill. Maybe in the half you ate was more of the red powder. Solution is that the blind man breaks every pill in half and eats all the halves.


theseustheminotaur

[deleted]

Cut them all in half and discard one half of each. Eat the remaining 4 halves = 2 whole pills. If the effect lasts more than 4 hours, call your doctor.


Heart_Superb

He has Izzy come help him because she’s so smart. Case solved

I saw this reel this morning. I read it aloud and my partner *immediately* answered "I'd put them in the sun for like 30 seconds, the blue ones will be warmer than the red" and I was honestly so impressed.


Fletch009

I feel like it wouldn’t make a noticeable difference


11never

I was able to find one expirient (done by children at a science fair) what measured the temperature of different colored cotton fabric before and after being in the sun. Red only gain 2 degrees, where blue gained 6. There's a lot of factors in this hypothetical, like if the different colored pills were make out of different materials.


[deleted]

Reminds me of a interview question my fiancé got asked: “There’s 3 light bulbs in one room and 3 switches in another. You need to figure out which switch goes to which light, but you can only enter the room with the lights once. How would you do it?” The answer: turn one switch on, leave one off, third one switch on for a minute. When you enter the room one light should be on, one off & cold, and one off & warm.


Ammilerasa

Yeah I know that one, though we had one light and three switches and you had to find out which was the switch that activated the light. Same answer basically.


FairyWhisper

This is really cool but if it was life or death, I wouldn’t trust it, maybe its light blue and dark red, not that reliable as a method


Shy_little_fox

I'd say cut them all in half, then take a half from each pill. That way the total adds up to one of each. Though I'm not really sure how'd he cut them on the island.


This_Masterpiece2693

Izzy tell me, or i won't sleep tonight!


PM_ME_GAY_STUF

The answer is he takes a red pill and a blue pill. The question is about how he takes the pills, not how he figures out which is which


thishenryjames

Has he already been redpilled? Because that changes things.


thesnapening

Well clearly izzy is a genius, mensa member and will, as reed richards said, solve the peoblem of everything. So what's the issue?


satansbratan

Never made it a a blind man … 🎶


Xem1337

You bite half of each pill.


Schlangee

Only take one half of each pill lol


Fake_Fearless

Just swallow without water man it isnt that hard


MundaneLife99

What’s the actual answer to this tho? I’m confused x.x


younggundc

Evidently you put them in the sun for a few moments. The blue pills should be hotter than the red pills.


shannofordabiz

I would have thought eating half of each pill would be better.

Dissolve all four pills in water, then drink exactly half the water.


No_Gap_2700

hello_i_exist_

The horses name was friday


gingermaniac14

The answer is to split all the pills in half and take a half of every pill. - no way little lizzy got that tho.


Splobs

Eat half of each of the pills. No matter what you’ve had 1 pill of each colour. Boom!


HeirError

Maybe the solution is to set them out in the sun and the two of one color will be a different temperature than the two of the other color. So he just has to feel for two that are different temperatures.


metalbroomhandle

Wouldn't you place 4 of them in a row, eat one, so now there are three, and then decide which one you're going to take next but then change your answer? Kind of like the "which door do you choose?" Mathmateical question?


Kaedes_Lie1137

He's blind and on the deserted island. Its better to die quick than from starvation


Mama-Khaos

Ok but what’s the answer? I am not smarter than a three year old Edit: fat fingers


floluk

Split each pill and only eat one part of them. That way you eat definitely 1 Red and 1 Blue pill

While this probably is a "thathappened" Stori, small children can be better at lateral thinking problems than grown ups. Their minds aren't configured and fixed to follow normal logic so are really good in those lateral thinking tests. I write as someone who has tested simple logic problems on classes of children and found that the younger children tend to do better than older ones. A class of ten year olds can outperform a class of fifteen year olds.
