No it wasn't you didn't give any reasoning. I reckon the only reasoning behind your solution is a selfish desire to prolong your own worthless existence. |
I'm with Marty on this

Logic implies reasoning, logic without reasoning is simple madness, and vice versa.
A puzzle that ignores reality, or is internally inconsistent, is not even a puzzle, and definitely not an "intelligence test"
If anything, it displays the lack of intelligence of the person who poses it, because they have a basic misunderstanding of both logic and reasoning.

So therefore an intelligence test of the poster....

2) The reasoning was perfectly logical, but whatever gave you the idea that logic had to make sense? - I refer you to Edward de Bono's Practical Thinking for the perfect example of how the logic and sense are not necessarily remotely related |
Well, as long as your self-confessed nonsensical "reasoning" remains private none of us can judge its logic (or otherwise) for ourselves.

Surely the question and therefore the logic is flawed, to "bring back" implies you are alive... wouldn't you "Send back" from the dead, if you were already dead?

My resurrection machine ran into a few problems. It brought people back from the dead just fine, but then they died again. What I need to invent now is a panacea machine

No, it was the resurrection machine that made them rise (again).

Well, if that was the reasoning behind the riddle, then bringing back one's shadow is wrong anyway - the shadow is attached to the worldly corpse (unless it is levitating), not the place that the dead must be brought back from.

But surely the panacea machine would do that and more - give them a handsome golden tan for example.
Mind you, it'd have to be careful not to make them crusty.

No, that is the Panacotta machine (or is that cheese, I forget....)

Panacotta is a little bit like crème brulée
