There was a power outage.
He died.

2. There's no limit on the number of questions you can ask.
3. Winner(s) will receive a nice Texas postcard.
4. Ndoro Yadda could not participate, I told her the riddle last night.

Napas-nya brenti
Untung, seblom mati
Dia sempet nulis warisan untuk saya :p

...

Boleh jawab lebih dari sekali Kakak Xinda?

xinda replied:Jeng Win, boleh boleh ...ah udah lama nggak keliatan kemana aja tho Jeng?

Napasnya emang brenti makanya dia mati, tapi kenapa gitu lho?

FYI: Si Bapak itu bukan lagi nulis surat wasiat or suicide note.

was the man cute?
yes?no?


xinda replied:Hmm...apparently no, dwi. Otherwise, a superwoman (or a superman for that matter) should arrive out of the blue in time to save him. Hihihi...

1. is he murdered?

2. is there any sign of burglary?

3. is he even at his own home?

4. is it worthed for me to try to answer this when i obviously dont need a texas postcard? hehe

xinda replied:1. Nope, he's not murdered. I haven't heard any conspiracy behind the tragedy.

2. Nope, no sign of burglary.

3. No, he wasn't at home. He considers this place his second home though.

4. Oh, we can work on that. Go, pink, go, you're on the right track with question # 3.

Good questions, he he he. I see somebody's brain nicely tune with the finals and all. he he he.

new lay out? clear sekali xin.. bagus, bagus.. (tino sidin style)

xinda replied:Iya new layout, pake template baru blogger. Udah pengen bikin beginian, tapi nggak kesampean, gaptek sih. hehehe.

the man wrote :
sayangku, aku cinta mati padamu. kalo kamu nggak percaya juga, sumpah deh samber gledek.

in about 2 seconds, tiba2 *bletaaaaarzzz* out of the blue ada thunder/lightning followed by power outage.

the man died before he even seal the letter with a kiss.

xinda replied:..dwi, you're almost there. Maybe the thunder causing the power outage, but we need more detail. How did he die? The thunder didnot strike him, btw. Yayangnya percaya sama surat cinta gombalnya itu sih. hehe.

Come on come on...

nice clean lay out you have here, mother...

another try :
he SMSed you, but then the cell-battery is dead...


OOT :
nonton Starsky & Hutch atau Love Actually udah belum? kalo mau yg lebih gubrak lagi ya sewa hentai aja... waktu itu jadi nyewa Chobits atau GTO nggak? series sih ya, jd perlu waktu nontonnya..

xinda replied:Thanks Mother. It's one of the new blogger redesign template. I can't imagine how many (wo)man-hour I have to put to create something like this. That assuming I have even the slightest talent for it.

The try:
No, Mother, he wasn't using a cellphone at this point. In fact, the use of a cellphone could ruin the "situation" even before the power outage happen. At least that's what I heard everytime I'm jumping into one of these. I didn't realize it's prolly for a business reason.

OOT also:
belum sempet nyewa Hentai nya, ntar ah nyoba. Ike udah nonton dua2nya tapi timing salah kali ya...ntar nyewa lagi ah.. Makasih ya.

The man was in a hospital, with his heart connected to a heart machine, pumping his blood, powered by electricity, which went out when there was a power outage. *victory sign*..

xinda replied:First of all, welcome, T.
Second of all, be patient young grasshopper, the man stays so healthy albeit his poor eating habit, abuse of alcohol, and lack of exercising. He's nowhere near a heart machine.

Xinda...layout baru yah..sama dooong..i'm loving the new blogger.com...

Hm. Maybe I should be patient. Questions:
1. Does the fact that he was writing a letter have anything to do with his death?
2. Could it be that what happened was really those:
a) that a man was writing a letter
b) there was a power outage
c) a man/a boy died
where the three events are exclusive and independent of one another?
3. Did he know that he was going to die?
4. Was the power outage intentional?
5. Was he in a prison?
6. Was he in a space shuttle which depended on electricity to create artificial gravity, and when the power went out he knocked on something sharp in the shuttle and died?
7. Was the man running out of time?

xinda replied:Congratulations, T, yours is the closest one to the scenario given preceeding the dead of the man in the riddle. I'll post the answer in the future entry (after the one titled "Please." that is). Anyway, to which address I should send this postcard to? Drop me a note, will ya?
