Is the answer on this thread a looooooonnnng time ago, before I existed?

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Don't think so. If it was, it would have been before I was on the shard.

[Edema Rue she/her]

Is there a logical, reasonable way to figure it out?

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Yes, ask yes or no questions pertaining to the riddle, no matter how unlikely you think they are.

Try the Bayesian model, it might help. Or perhaps not, since it's a riddle and not human behavior.

[Edema Rue she/her]

Was the man murdered?

[Immortal Platypus]

Will you answer some questions that aren't yes or nor if it doesn't matter for the riddle and stuff like that.

Possibly, depends on the question, though I have a AMA for a reason.

So, just ask me riddle questions relating to the riddle here and not riddle questions in my AMA.

Deal?

[Immortal Platypus]

Deal. That's what I was talking about, not random questions like the ones I would put in an AMA.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Ah, okay.

Ask away, the man is still dead in the forest.

[Immortal Platypus]

Oh, I don't have any now, I just wanted to know for the future.

Oh, is he decomposing/how long has he been dead?

Doesn't matter.

[Immortal Platypus]

You should know that if I ask it, it matters to me and I need an answer. (ex. what part of his body he is lying on.)

Oh, what is he wearing? Is his body damaged in any way?

Nope

Could be wearing a wedding ring I suppose, but that doesn't matter.

[Immortal Platypus]

dang. I thought I had it. If he was wearing a ring, it might have been a grenade ring and he blew himself up. blast

Technically, yes. But not intentionally.

EDIT: I have two hints in store, if you want them. They should point you in the right direction if you're stuck.

Is there anything else in the forest. (Did I ask that already? I'm too lazy to check.)

Not yes or no

[Immortal Platypus]

yes it is. I asked two yes or no questions. I didn't ask what it is, I asked if anything else was there.

also, I'm about to leave wifi, so I won't be able to read it in a few minutes.
