About the puzzle on Leo’s assumption video

[Leo Gura]

It's partially my fault. In the video I forget to mention "no retracing of lines".

A - The father from the vehicle and the doctor from the hospital are two gay men and the technology for 2 men to have a baby has been developed and they made a biological son together.

B - Non-duality.  Everyone is biologically related and hence all men are the father to the son.

C - The father pretends to be dead and then goes to the hospital dressed as a surgeon.

D - There are 3 men with the youngest one also himself being a father.  The youngest gets killed.  The middle, considered a boy and a father (of the youngest), goes to the hospital where the oldest is the doctor who is the father of the middle.

E - This scenario involves 4 people.  The car crash involves a father and son where the father dies and the son goes to the hospital.  The hospital scenario involves a doctor who walks in on his son which is a different person from the car crash.

Lol. It doesn't matter how hard one tries, you cannot answer this if the assumption is wrong

Oh for fuck sake guys, youre over complicating this! The doctor is his mother! Mothers can be doctors too! 

Your assumption here is that doctor means man.

The assumption is you have to stay within the matrix (of 9 dots).

Perhaps it's the benefits of a 'certain age', but both these puzzles are rather old.  The doctor puzzle has also been used to illustrate default gender-bias.

@Museful But I’m fully aware women can be doctors too. Maybe it’s a subconscious thing?

I’ve got one. Draw a two inch circle with a dot in the center. Put the tip of your pen or pencil on the dot. Now get the writing utensil out of the circle without lifting it off the paper or making a mark inside the circle.

Subconscious blindspots.

Erase the circle?

Cut the paper?

Put the pencil/pen upside down on the dot and then drag it across the page?

Poke a hole with the tip of the pencil/pen where the dot is through the paper and push it out.

Yeah... super weird.  It's like I forgot women could be doctors.  I was so focused on the situation being men.

DAMN you beat me to it

Grandpa went out for a walk and it started to rain. He didn’t bring an umbrella or a hat. His clothes got soaked, but not a hair on his head was wet. How is this possible?

@Museful @PepperBlossoms

You cant poke holes or erase the circle.

You also can't use another paper although this would be thinking in the right direction.

 Now youre getting the gist of this. Although that one was a bit too easy,

Use two hands to move the paper and pencil off the counter and then move one hand away from the paper and let the paper fall to the ground.

Fold a corner of the paper until the tip meets the pencil in the centre of the circle.  Move the pencil away from the centre-point along the back-side of the folded corner until it is out of the circle.  Unfold the paper - voilà.

@Museful Winner!

@PepperBlossoms Pen(cil) has to keep contact with the paper. Points to you though for coming up with every possible way because I didn’t rule out all the loop holes.
