      no i just don’t fucking understand why the naked woman matters here.

      Could be fucking anything, a pile of a billion dollars. Three turtles, or a goat, it’s the same joke.

        I don’t think it’s the same joke when it’s three turtles or a goat, because the joke is “I think I can get close enough…to engage in unspecified sex acts with this woman.”

        You think the same chemicals that turned the frickin frogs gay is responsible for this aversion to sexual thoughts? “Could it not be a naked woman? That clutches my pearls.”

          “I think I can get close enough…to engage in unspecified sex acts with this woman.”

          that’s what i would assume, but then again it never states anything, so this is like walking into a fucking storage shed and seeing a colonoscopy going on. It’s just fucking weird.

              also, if the woman is naked, does that mean the mathematician, engineer, and physicist are also naked? Because that would make a lot more sense.

                The mathematician is naked, something about pure and direct truth. The physicist is wearing a bow tie, chippendale cuffs and a banana hammock. The engineer has on his new invention: Assful chaps.

          i mean yeah, i guess so, but that’s not what im confused over.

          I just want to know why specifically it was written with a nude woman? It never alluded to anything in particular.

            Is it really that confusing? If it had said there was a pot of gold the implication is clear that the person who reaches it will be rich. You ask “why a nude woman?” and the answer is simply because, just like being rich, desiring a sexual partner is a common desire.

              A pot of gold explaining the rules to you about it ringing a bell would definitely be even more suspicious than a random naked woman.

                It’s a pot of gold. Obviously there’s a leprechaun involved who will be presenting the riddle.

                i would definitely be more suspicious of it. This is probably another paradox frankly.

              i think it would make equally as much sense, if not more, if the word naked was just removed.

              It’s just fucking shoehorned into it.
