He wants to die right away. When he finds a sufficient bough of a firm tree that he can easily reach he does not hang himself.  Why not? He did not change his mind. Nobody and nothing prevented him from dying. « Last Edit: May 24th, 2016, 2:25pm by alien2 » IP Logged towr wu::riddles Moderator Uberpuzzler Some people are average, some are just mean.     Gender: Posts: 13730 Re: Hangman’s noose   « Reply #1 on: May 24th, 2016, 10:57am » Quote Modify * Someone else hangs him?   * Lightning strikes?   * He wanted to hang someone else before killing himself in some other way?   * Even though he wants to die right away, he doesn't give into that desire. He never decided to hang himself in the first place, so he doesn't need to change his mind. And everyone dies eventually. The rope is to make a tire swing for his children.
