INTP Trivia and Humor

[Saywhatnow]

Question: There is a circle, one side is black, the other side is white. What color is the circle?

 

[QuickTwist]

black and white.

 

[Rook]

The circle has no colour, it is merely a photonic image that yer eyeballs cram into yer brain.

 

[TheManBeyond]

ying and yang

 

[EyeSeeCold]

Light or pigment?

[peoplesuck]

I honestly think things should be defined by the light they absorb not the light they reflect, seems kind of wrong to call it by what it looks like rather than what it is. if it reflects blue light why is it blue? does it not make more sense to call it the color is absorbs?

 

[QuickTwist]

43 + 5. yes, 48 is always the answer.

What are you talking about? A circle only has one side. Go back to kindergarten.

It can also be argued that it has no sides or even infinite sides but it cannot be argued that there are only two sides.

I painted a quarter white on one side and black on the other. Also one half the quarter was white and the other half was black.

A quarter is a 3d shape called a cylinder. It isn't a circle. At best you could argue that you painted one circle white and the other circle black and the metal between the two circles sustained its original color.

A yin yang is also half white and half black. Its just something for fun, no need to overanalyze it to death >.<

It, the OP, was meant as a trick question. I am not overanalyzing it. It was meant to be humor like it says in the title of this thread and so I answered the question within that context.

 

[Jennywocky]

Is this a round circle?

 

[QuickTwist]

Is this a round circle?

I think this is the most important question of all.

 

[redbaron]

How does a 2D shape have two sides? Shit question.

 

[emmabobary]

I thought were talking to me at first. lol

 

[Polaris]

TMB is on the money. The common assumption here being that the black and white sides are flipsides, like on a coin, when it could appear like this:

Spoiler

 

[Saywhatnow]

OK. Let's analyze:

1. Does a circle have any sides? If it did, it would either be a square or triangle or a shape with sides. If a circle has no sides, then it doesn't matter whether it is white or black.

2. If the circle is like a coin and one side is white and the other side is black, then it is no longer a 1 dimensional circle. Is it?

3. If a circle is not 1 dimensional and has two sides, then how many dimensions does it have?

4. Metaphorically speaking what does color represent? Can color be a dimension?

5. Are there other factors or dimensions that determine the color of the circle? If the circle coin is on the surface of a desk and white is pointing up, then the otherside is always black. And if the black is facing up then the otherside is black because of the lack of light. So the coin is black if it is against a surface regardless of the side facing the surface.

6. If the circle is in a dark room, then it is always black.

So the best INTP answer is "It depends" on the conditions and outside factors.

Lol. Looks like you picked up on the humor in the question.

Wait. You said a circle has only one side. What side is that? The line around the circle or the space within the circle?

 

[Saywhatnow]

Grey ...¿?

Interesting observation. It is like saying I wish 'M' was an option in a 'Y/N' question. But yes in your example, it could be gray but if that was spinning at the fastest possible speed, would you still see gray?

 

[Saywhatnow]

Is this a round circle?

Lol. Better yet ask is this the shape of circle or the word circle.

 

[Saywhatnow]

Lol. Who said it was 2D?

 

[Tannhauser]

Your mom is a circle

 

[Teax]

Question: There is a circle, one side is black, the other side is white. What color is the circle?

Why, yellow, ofcourse

Yes. It is also a ying yang possibly. Lol

Circle <-- Ceci n'est pas une cercle

 

[Polaris]

(Edit)^ and yes, that one

"There is a circle, one side is black and the other side is white. What colour is the circle?"

Well, this question could be interpreted as (and please add more I may have missed due to perceptive differences):

a) There is a circle. (The rest of the sentence may or may not say anything about the circle itself as the wording is ambiguous - the comma makes it confusing)

b) There is a circle, one side is black and the other is white. (Implying here that the sides apply to the circle itself - and since if mathematically, a circle cannot have sides, it is assumed that the sides are somewhat arbitrary areas of colour within the circle - sides here meaning the shifts in colour perception from black to white)

c) There is a circle, one side is black and the other is white. What colour is the circle? (Colour is a matter of perception - so there is no actual colour, other than the subjective interpretation of what the human eye perceives)

 

[Hadoblado]

Lol. Who said it was 2D?

If it were 3d it wouldn't be a circle? It'd be a disk or sphere?

Are you telling me that you accidentally a trick question?

 

[TheManBeyond]

OP go on, next question

 

[Saywhatnow]

OP go on, next question

Here goes the next question:

What is this?

1. White on the inside
2. Red on the outside
3. Moves up and down without its own power

 

[Jennywocky]

An ivory hammer coated with the blood of those who make terribly unfunny jokes.

...

Or maybe it's just a cherry-coated vanilla popsicle!


.....

TBH, the first thing it made me think of was one of the riddles from The Hobbit.

 

[Grayman]

The sun.
A red yoyo with white string.
A red headed red neck child hopping to peak over the fence at a NASCAR race.

 

[Rook]

Well, a fishing bobber is white and red both inside and outside (you did not name exclusives), though under the power of water it will move in more than two directions...well, you did not say that it only moves up and down

Spoiler

 

[Saywhatnow]

I love the humor in your responses.

I would say beets inside an elevator.

 

[Polaris]

What is this?

1. White on the inside

3. Moves up and down without its own power

Probably something you acquired from the deep web.

 

[Saywhatnow]

No. It was an old joke.

But what is the deep web? How do you measure the depth of a virtual thing?

That's what a circle is.

I know the point of this is that it's meant to look like a bird in a cage, but the video is fucking terrible and it just looks like two separate pictures and doesn't illustrate your point at all.

Also, that's not a circle. It's a very shallow cylinder not a 2D object. Geometry is not that fucking hard you peasants.

:^)

Don't be bitter just because your parents couldn't afford toys for you as a child.

The only toy I ever needed was a stick and a patch of dirt :^)

A white dwarf forming an accretion from a red giant before becoming a type Ia supernova.

I watched sci-fi cartoons as a child. I would then use the TV remote as a flying spaceship for Toys while other kids had cars and army men toys to play with.

That sounds lovely. I didn't have scifi cartoons as a child.

... I did have all the old b&w Hammer horror flicks beamed up from Wash DC channel 20 (?) for Saturdays, though, if the rabbit ears were arranged correctly.

How did you and I get the point if it doesn't illustrate the point at all?
