Title: Butter is kind of frozen
Post by alien2 on Jul 2^nd, 2018, 5:58am

It is winter and very cold in Russia. Not right now, you see, talking about mundial, rather in some other timeline. Two kids are making a snowman; when, one of them — has an idea.

“As you can see, there are no butterflies. However, if I prove to you, and with a frozen butter, that there is but one, right here, nonetheless, you will give me all your coins from your money-box so that only I can play an arcade video game on an automatic machine.”

The other one agrees and shortly after loses, that is to say, when his friend returns with butter that is kind of frozen, and then — does something, and says something. What, exactly?

Is this related to the "[hide]how can butter fly[/hide]" riddle?

Yes. But, could you be utterly specific this time? Thank You.

No? So the honor is mine? Alright then. [hide]He throws the butter and says: "Look at that 'butterfly'!"[/hide]

I was thinking to say that, but I couldn't work out how the 'alive' clue fitted with that answer.

I HAD TO say alive butterfly, albeit this wasn't optimal, not at all. Why you ask? Well allow me to tell you: because of You, who would probably suggest an alternative answer regarding 'a dead butterfly' that CAN be found in cold Russia. So it is your fault. Still, I modified the riddle so the butterfly is not living no more.

Alright. Alright. I admit. It was MY fault. Happy? Still, never mind forwhy this puzzle of mine is utterly and, well, sooooooo good! with but a touch of spoiler. It reminds me of the joke: "Why can't you starve in the desert?"
