Two explorers were searching for minerals in a remote location. Suddenly they were attacked by vicious animals they had never encountered before. One explorer, panicking, rushed back to rejoin the rest of the team. The other one made his way back to safety slowly - despite being in mortal danger - by backing away gradually from the animals, never taking his eyes off them. This second explorer made it back alive. The panicked explorer died when he reached the team, even though he'd managed to escape from the animals.
Can you explain why?

Or he missed the lion trap pit with those sharp stakes and was impaled to death. Or he was hit by lightning because of a gathering storm. Or he crossed a railroad, being hard of hearing, did not hear the train barreling down on him at 90 klicks and squashed him into 4 pieces. Or he was in the path of a plane crashing on top of him. Or a thousand other scenarios.

The renowned village idiot in the tourist spot was often offered the choice between a 10,000 Rupiah note and a 500 Rupiah coin by the tourists he amused but he would always accept the coins while rejecting the notes, even though the latter was worth 20 times more than the coin. Can you explain why?

Someone having it done one time is not very interesting, one who keeps doing it, most probably after having been explained things over and over again and keeps at the behaviour will attract more notice .
It motivates people "to put him to test" in what way?

Originally posted by PonderableNot really. I don't think so. Well, I'm not sure what the "it" is when you say "having it done one time" and "one who keeps doing it". But you may be getting warm.

The day before yesterday Dossy Bibblings was 17 years old. Next year he will be 20. How could this statement be true?
