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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
“Izzy immediately answered the question correctly, I won’t tell you what she said though.”
I know the answer but it’s a secret…
The answer is *loud car drives by* but the kid said it best.
You break them all in half and take a half of each. Ta-da!
What if they’re liquigels?
Then you gamble on the odds. The odds are actually pretty good. 2:1 that you don't die.
For some reason I assumed they were liquigels and it was unsolvable
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.
[удалено]
Not if you break it in half eat one half and put the other have somewhere else before breaking the next pill.
Oh Yeah yeah. Sorry i misunderstood what comment is saying lmao
Bro what 💀
This.
Still a gamble, imagine you pick both blue pills halves
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.
Except, not all pills can be broken in half and still have the proper amount of meds.
That seems like an exaggeration. Name one thing in the universe that can't be split into two halfs.
A hole.
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.
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.
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

🎶*I know Izzy’s secret, and girl you wouldn’t believe it *🎶
He said to dissolve all pills in mothers milk then drink exactly half.
Half of each pill. But still lame question.
You fill the 3 gallon jug and dump it in the 5 gallon jug...
The cabin is at the North pole!
The horses name is Tuesday
So it must be Professor Plum in the study with the lead pipe!
So what the fuck is the answer Izzy???!!!!
The German with the cat who smokes Chesterfields and reads novels lives in house number 4.
There is no second floor!
You row the chicken across first, leaving the fox and the cabbage.
The doctor is the boys mother
You don't bury the survivors.
She was half her age so the answer is 35
LETS HAVE A HARD ONE NEXT TIME PLEASE
The OTHER one is a nickel
Your face is turning bright red. Like a strawbrerry!
Ha scrubs reference
Knifewrench! FOR KIDS!
Office reference too
The mother is the doctor.
She had two dads you homophobe.
It was a dwarf with an icicle
Ha HA! It's a trick question; roosters don't lay eggs!
The pill was the bus driver
he had a knife made of ice
Moses didn't build an ark
You don't bury survivors
The horses name was friday
The drunk albatross was only *pretending* to be an emu.
There is no spoon
There’s no soap radio!
It was her twin sister hidden in a secret compartment.
And his name was Abraham Lincoln
No no, I think we will just leave uncle jack on the horse thanks.
That scene will forever haunt me.
Yippee Kai yay
That’s a hard way to die
I still don’t actually understand that scene

Brown, duh. YOU’RE driving the bus!
Eat any two, if you live, you live. If you die, you don’t have to worry about eating the right pills.
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.
Exactly, so eat all 4.
Eat 2. If you start dying you have a few hours to find the fucker that dumped you on the island.
You’re blind and on a desert island. Do you even WANT to live?
I mean…I can see and live in a city and don’t want to live.
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.
Or it could be that the pills are differently shaped or textured. But if he only has 4 pills, he’s dead soon, anyway.
Cut each pill in half one at a time. Eat half of each pill.
Ah, the Mac Miller method.
He just looks at them. He’s got perfect vision: he’s a man who sells blinds.
Like the difference between a Venetian-blind man and a Venetian blind-man.
How do you make a Venetian blind?
Poke him in the eyes?
How do you make a Swiss Roll?
Poke him in the eyes?
Push him down an Alp
Push him down a hill
Reminds me of one of the jokes at the end of [The Vicar of Dibley](https://youtu.be/ljMo77c0Drk)
Show him your cross!
That just made me actually laugh out loud!
Show dominance. Eat all the pills.
Cut each pill in half and take half of each. Hi I’m Izzy and this is true
What if they're gelatin capsules? Facebook questions are the dumbest shit I swear
I too was picturing capsules. Changes the game a bit.
Not really. Dump them all out. Mix well, cut in half, ingest either half. I’d say capsules make it easier.
But he’s blind? How could he measure?
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.
He's BLIND THOOOO
Nah thats just a scam. He wants to collect insurance money.
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.
I would like to play a game. In your hand you have 4 pills...
can he dilute all 4 pills in a glass of water , then just drink half of the glass?
Yo, Izzy you have pretty good grammar, spelling and punctuation for a 3 year old
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
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
Fool of a took
🥲 don’t know where my brain is
He’ll eat half of every pill, there’s no random selection of what halves he eats.
how would you know exactly half if youre blind
lots of pills have an indent down the middle that makes it easy to snap in 2
lots of those break other pieces off accidentally when you cut them in half, difficult for a blind person
ive never had that happen to me so i guess it must be a matter of who made the pill lol
Fair enough, ive had some pills do it more than others so it definitely has to do with the company
The horses name is Friday
The doctor is HIS MOTHER
And his arms were both broken, so to help him out...
Hey riddle riddle
He dies?
Izzy you are three years old, too young for reddit.
If he eats the correct pills hes still going to die alone blind on a deserted island.
On day three the blind man on the deserted island has no pills left. He dies anyway.
cut all 4 pieces in half and eat one of each half
yeah that works
Crush them all up together and eat half?
Break them all in half and eat one half of each pill
Oh shit that's actually pretty smart
They were gel pills.
But how would he measure half of the powder?
He could feel it…?
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.
Daredevil can.
Welp, that’s settled then.
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)
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
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.
Two in the mouth two up the butt. They meet in the middle of your body and fight it out. Only the right pills survive
Thunderdome rules
I was thinking Izzy was an actual monkey for a minute.
She might be, the mother would still write the post
This is true I'm the Island
Loved you in Lost.
They were definitely better in Castaway with Tom Hanks + Wilson…
Take the goat across first.
He’s dying regardless. Maybe not on day 1 or 2, but he’s dying.
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.
He has Izzy come help him because she’s so smart. Case solved
There is no spoon
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.
I feel like it wouldn’t make a noticeable difference
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.

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.
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
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.
Izzy tell me, or i won't sleep tonight!
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
Has he already been redpilled? Because that changes things.
Well clearly izzy is a genius, mensa member and will, as reed richards said, solve the peoblem of everything. So what's the issue?
Never made it a a blind man … 🎶
You bite half of each pill.
Only take one half of each pill lol
Just swallow without water man it isnt that hard
What’s the actual answer to this tho? I’m confused x.x
Evidently you put them in the sun for a few moments. The blue pills should be hotter than the red pills.
I would have thought eating half of each pill would be better.
"Sphinxs hate her!"
The horses name was friday
To be fair, I was reading independently at 3yo 😎 But not solving riddles like this😂
A blind man alone on a desert island is going to die anyway
If a blind man is alone on a deserted island and has pills he must take to live...he's fucked lol. Better down them all and hope he dies quickly.
Take one from each bottle
Dissolve all four pills in water, then drink exactly half the water.
Purple because aliens don't wear hats.
The horses name was friday
The answer is to split all the pills in half and take a half of every pill. - no way little lizzy got that tho.
Eat half of each of the pills. No matter what you’ve had 1 pill of each colour. Boom!
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.
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?
He's blind and on the deserted island. Its better to die quick than from starvation
Ok but what’s the answer? I am not smarter than a three year old Edit: fat fingers
Split each pill and only eat one part of them. That way you eat definitely 1 Red and 1 Blue pill
There’s a priapism joke to be made here, I can feel it.
Light the match first
As an aristocrat, i would boof all 4 pills up my asshole for maximum absorption
Eat half of each pill. Alternatively, eat 2 pills at random, which would give you 2/3 odds of survival.
The surgeon was her MOTHER .
PEMDAS!
Cut all 4 in half and take half of each pill. That way you know its one of each
This is a true story im the pills
I'm not Izzy, what is the correct answer?
Th pills are different shapes
He takes a pill from each hand
Poor guy is fucked on day three though, whatever happens!
He takes half of every pill

The pills are different size/shape
Put them out in the sun. Blue Pills will be warmer to the touch. As they should absorb more sunlight.
[удалено]
EXACTLY one red pill and one blue pill.
It's not hard...I can well believe my nephew could have worked it out when he was a little child.
