didnt u read?, the puzzles have no meaning how can he make his way out?Originally posted by matleep:What then is your definition of a scholar? Someone as shown in the story? Then scholars must be lousy people.
What scholars should not do is to reject another person idea base on his education background. He gathers all the ideas and makes a judgement on which is the best idea to get them out. He is able to tell you the pros and cons of the various ideas and give a clear explantation on why he decides on a particular idea over another. Therefore, in this particular case, I feel that a scholar would follow the mouse first because, if he didn't, the mouse would run off. Even if the mouse is unable to lead them out of the maze, he could still go back to the puzzle to figure a way out.
Conclusion, the story sucks.
I hate to repeat myself, pls go and read the story many many times b4 u all post! -
the story was intentionally made not to explain how the mouse got there..
It could be mosuse could be a seasoned guinea pig from the inventor who already knew its way out
Or
it could also be using its special abilites ( animals like dogs and cockroaches have extra senses) to sense its way out eg, sense of smell. -
have u heard of yogis or wise men living in mountains who have a sense of deep perception...
becos their inner mind is void. It is not clogged with thoughts and numerous information of the outside world.
So they were able to fill their void mind with deep inner thoughts -

But it is good to be educated..

why bother to make such a long story to show that "academics will not help u" under certain situation?
Imagine a highly educated man and a native african, throw them in the forest and see who survives better. That will prove your point already.
Or you are trying to prove something else? -

TS, perhaps you are trying to tell us the difference between intelligence and wisdom?
if so, pls research on that and tell us more.
Ability to think and analyze?
Filled with knowledge from books but dont know how to apply them?
Highly educated but dont know how to solve logic questions?
can remember the whole shakespear play but always forgot where he put his keys?
Can solve a complex maths questions but failed to fill in simple crossword puzzles?
Know how to design a rocket but cant make a wooden chair?
Master in chess but illiterate? -

4 words to describe how i feel. dui niu tan qing. -
ermz.. sorry, i don't mean to challenge, but the whole story from start to end is almost meant to show a message. whoever and whatever message it is, a story can be cooked up to support it. How real is this?
a friend who tried to sell me something (not insurance), told me that you never when you need it. She told me to imagine in a desert, and you're thirsty. you came across a first man, and you asked for water and offered money, but he only has ties, and offers you to buy one. you move on, feeling even more dehydrated, you came to the second man. you asked for water and offered more money. He still only has ties, and ask you to buy one. You move on, coming to yet a third man, and you asked for water and offered all your money. But he again only have ties.. you're moved only and almost dying, but managed to come a very luxury place, and you can hear people splashing into a pool behind the walls. At the door, the bouncer said only people with ties can go in.
The actual moral of the story, i don't want to say, because like i said, these stories already have an agenda. the conclusion is already drawn before the story is made, and therefore it only has entertainment value.
sorry for being a spoil sport -
Not a spoil sport, just the inevitable conclusion of an educated mind.Originally posted by Bear:ermz.. sorry, i don't mean to challenge, but the whole story from start to end is almost meant to show a message. whoever and whatever message it is, a story can be cooked up to support it.

i think this story is totally flawed. What about the other story that the educated man came out of the mazes first, and the uneducated man who died in the maze coz he cannot get out because he cannot read the sign which says, "to get out of the maze, say the magic word 'abczzz' in front of the door", but since the uneducated man couldn't even read english, he died in the maze. the educated man wins.

U R ALL TOKING NONSENSE. I already told u b4, the signs and symbols have no meaningOriginally posted by LifeIsWonderful:i think this story is totally flawed.

if it had trhe uneducated man can still get out if there is a mouse, if there is no mouse he will die yes of cos, but why conduct the experiment in such a way when u already know the result. That was not the intention of the maze inventor. -
wun the hand get injured due to friction between the hand and the wall?Originally posted by life2121:aye i noe dat in a maze... all u hav 2 do is place ur hand on e wall n run along withut lifting ur hand... sooner or later u will get out...

this is not about education at all.
this is humble vs. conceited
having an education doesn't mean u are stuck up
being uneducated doesn't mean u cant be a stubborn prick
besides, a truly educated person should be able to think outside the box, game the game, and be sensitive to his surroundings.
