It's nothing out of the ordinary -- it happens to tens of thousands of people each day. But when it happened to him, it was truly a miracle. | ||

Him: human? adult? male? Is there something different about him? Does he have a disability? A medical condition? Is his occupation relevant? These tens of thousands of people--are they average people? Or do they belong to a special group? Are they all female? Has this happened to you before? If this were to happen to me, would I be happy? upset? surprised? | ||

If it happened again, would that too be a miracle? Is it something he discovers about himself? Is it something that happened to him? someone else? Did it/could it happen for real? | ||

It is especially more of a miracle to him than to other people, correct? Is this because of special circumstances that he is in? the timing of this fortunate event? | ||

Was he in any danger at the time? And this unremarkable thing happened just in time to save him? Something along these lines? | ||

Were there people trying to attack him? Was a natural disaster about to happen? A man-made disaster? If this thing hadn't happened, would he have died? Did he almost fall to his death? Eat/drink something he shouldn't? Walk into a room just about to explode? Did he receive something from someone? Did he meet someone that helped save him? Or did the something happen from within him, like sneezing, coughing etc? | ||

QUOTE: Jumpingjack: "It is especially more of a miracle to him than to other people, correct? Right" I think I may have misinterpreted this question; can you please re-ask it in a more specific way? | ||

Sure! When it happened to him, it was a miracle, yes? But if it had happened to, say, Charlie Brown while he was just walking about one day, would it be considered a miracle? | ||

was it something natural that saved him from the man-made disaster? anything to do with weather? things falling from the sky? was he the only one who would have died? was it an accident he was there? did the miracle save him in the same place as the disaster? or did it stop him going anywhere near the disaster? | ||

This man made disaster, would it involve an explosion? electric shock? collapsed structure? suffocation? poisoning? | ||

was it something natural that saved him from the man-made disaster? anything to do with weather? things falling from the sky? None, if you mean 'what saved him?' was he the only one who would have died? No was it an accident he was there? No did the miracle save him in the same place as the disaster? Not necessarily or did it stop him going anywhere near the disaster? No This man made disaster, would it involve an explosion? Yes electric shock? No collapsed structure? This and all the rest suffocation? poisoning? | ||

Is this a miracle that is: - of biblical proportions - being at the right place at the right time - a serendipity - changing habits just in time - a chain of unlikely events - acting on instinct | ||

Is it more of a miracle to him because of some disability of his which made this event more unlikely? | ||

New member Username: Snoozer Post Number: 379 Registered: 1-2007 |
Was he located in the middle of the disaster? Is the miracle about how he was saved? How he saved everyone? How he stopped the disaster? If so, did he stop/avoid it by starting another disaster/accident/mishap? | ||

Would the reason for the explosion be a bomb? a gas leak? a burning vehicle? Did he remove or destroy the explosive material? remove or destroy the necessary spark? | ||

Does it matter what kind of bomb it was? If so, a granade, a mine, homemade? Was it a new bomb? Had it been there for a long time? Was it lying out in the open? Hidden somewhere? Covered in the ground? Is he a digger or a farmer or similar that is bringing things out from the ground? | ||

*****Due to the low traffic this puzzle is getting stuck here in the middle, I am going to re-post it (with all questions posted) at the bottom of the page - probably sometime this afternoon (Toronto time). |
