      second soup? There was only one soup. But yea, I don't get why he'd immediately think it was his wife either. I don't think it was explained very well. I was expecting an explanation and a backstory and stuff once she had figured it out but nope, nothin lol

    @hansvonmannschaft9062 Před 2 lety

    Isn't some detail missing here? Like, how could he have known what his wife tasted like? As some guys said, the bottom line is, how did the guy realize this. I'd say, for example, that while he was eating, he felt something in his mouth that turned out to be his wife's wedding band, recognizable for the (braille) engraving within. Or something like that. That part about that unerring association is what missing here for me. Great video by the way, I was going to ask if the guy was a pelican, too. Oh *and not to mention the similarities between the toucan on your mug and the pelican in the upper right corner* haha! Cheers!

    I have a good one for you .. If you were outside an old tower that had 3 light switches on the bottom of the entrance outside... You only have one chance to see which of the 3 light switches turn on the light inside the top of the tower. You only get one chance to open the door after flicking the switches to climb the 100 floors up to see if you right or wrong... If you are right you win the tower, if you are wrong , you are dead. ..

      Also a classic.
      (spoiler below) [I think people who can't figure it out after one year deserve a solution]
      Turn on the first switch and wait ten minutes.
      Turn off the first switch.
      Turn on the second switch.
      Run up the stairs,
      If the light is on, it was the second switch.
      If the bulb is warm but dark, it was the first switch.
      If the bulb is off and cold, it is the third switch.
