A living, moving creature that breathes fire is unique and can't be surpassed or replaced by other means.

It happens to have some other things it can do that everyone else can, but it doesn't remove the uniqueness it possesses
 
lol! i'd definitely go for the dragon - and that's before I'd read the explanation!

(and I'm a girl :lol:)

definitely the most random thing I've read for a week or so though!
 
:D ... You wanna get out more...

Ohh, you have a Zenit E :thumbs: ...still got my EM, not sure why though. lol.

Yeah sure, I'm with you, I didn't say the dragon wasn't unique now did I. ;) ... Their point on the other hand, is to point out which they think is proportionally more unique and why the dragon is inevitably the illogical choice...

The dragon... The kids are always leaving the remote somewhere and besides a golden dragon is far more cool....
 
Definately the soldiers.

I pictured the scene vividly as I read it !

Awesome !
 
hehe, yep, I'm not very good at film but I love trying :D What's the EM like?

... Dusty mostly! :D

I haven't used it for 30 years... can't say it was good or anything either.

Added a poll for you :)

:D :thumbs:

...We can't blank out the answer until they've voted? ...can we, perchance Marcel?
 
Its simply a fun quandary of proportional logic, intended to confuse adults, made up by my teenage son and his mate for mental entertainment...

They suspect most adults will choose the dragon. And even though the question is designed to be almost impossible to answer, the boys will more than likely choose the box and the girls the dragon simply because girls tend to think like adults.

Well I'm already a confused adult, so the whole logic thing was wasted on me :D Besides, thinking like an adult can be boring. I try it occasionally, but it doesn't suit :)

Hence I'd go for the box o' soldiers. Sounds much more entertaining.
 
Dragon +1. Is it available now, I need to get the gutters cleaned.
 
:lol:
...Not sure about the next best thing though, I mean, those are rubbish compared to the soldiers that came out of my box... :D

I think he means so that people can't view the poll results until they have voted.

Ahhh

Nope, there's no way to do that I'm afraid :(

I thought i'd seen (somewhere on some forum) part of a post hidden by code but only to those who hadn't voted, revealing itself when they had. (my short answer in post 39)

I don't know if VBulletin has this somewhere, its such a beast I never learnt that end of admin.
