Push the boundaries of thinking! Situation puzzles awaiting your answers!This type of game reveals astonishing truths through yes-no questions
I have registered this Wikipedia account for 6 years, and I'm also a Wikipediholic. I have misused Wikipedia several times to help with my homework. To make moreuseless Wikipedia articles, I have made this account to start damaging it. I also have a page in Chinese Wikipedia, and that page is even more active. Despite struggling on language puns and templates differences between both Wikipedias, I am striving for their consistency.
Past the tent, enfolded bow laid, Hundred mu, brimming with shade, One piece soil, extra tree's made.
This poem describes the matter that led to my retirement. However, its true meaning lies hidden within the verses, and the real significance of the poem can be summarized in six letters. Readers need to carefully ponder each letter to grasp the subtlety and mystery within. The following explanation is just an initial interpretation of the poem's meaning.
ChatGPT helped create the English translation above with equivalent information (including the real significance). Here is the original Chinese version.
弓掛於帳後, 百畝濕氣受, 一土種樹又。
The English translation mirrors this harmonious structure: each line follows a similar syllable count of "three-four" and rhyme pattern of "-eɪd", creating a rhythm that preserves the original poem’s cadence and unity.
For the Chinese version, each line of this poem has five characters and they all rhyme. My native language is Cantonese, so I arranged for the words "後" (hau6), "受" (sau6), and "又" (jau6) to share the same rhyme ending "au6", creating a consistent and harmonious rhythm. Interestingly, it also rhymes in Mandarin: 後 (hòu), 受 (shòu), 又 (yòu)—all sharing the "òu" sound, further enhancing the harmony and balance of the poem. This poem carries a tone of reflection and contemplation, which is similar to the mood found in Cantonese. The sound enhances its poetic nature. Its meaning and imagery remain powerful, and the Cantonese rhyme adds an elegance to the poem.
The "bow" symbolizes a tool or weapon that was once used, but is now hung up, signifying my stepping down and no longer actively editing. The "tent" represents something precious, though not frequently used, kept in a visible place. This line reflects my decision to end my editing work, but also shows that I still cherish Wikipedia and will continue using it after retirement.
The "hundred mu" symbolizes the vast and numerous articles I have contributed to and nourished, while the "shade" represents the vitality and care I have infused into these articles. These contributions continue to grow and flourish thanks to my efforts.
The phrase "extra tree's made" indicates that before I retire, I will plant two more trees, symbolizing my past contributions. These trees will grow, just like the legacy of my previous work.

Play with a chatbot like ChatGPT — one player presents a puzzle, and the other solves it!
Challenge your reasoning skills by solving the puzzle using only the scenario and hints!
Participating in situation puzzles can stimulate players to step outside conventional thinking and develop deductive reasoning skills, training patience through repeated questioning. Players need to ask clear "yes" or "no" questions, enhancing their communication skills. However, overly abstract or vague clues can cause players to lose interest. Additionally, some scenarios may discomfort certain players or even trigger sad real-life memories, a sensitivity that transcends age. For Wikipedia editors, learning situation puzzles offers these pros and cons.
Pros:
Enhances Research Skills and Cultural Awareness: Players need to understand elements such as idioms, history, or culture to create or interpret puzzles, which greatly benefits research skills. For example, understanding the poem phrase “Finally Return to Nature” relates directly to the story, enriching comprehension. This leads to more nuanced and refined language in future articles.
Increases Engagement: Situation puzzles can provide editors with enjoyable challenges during breaks, sparking creativity while resting. If editors visit Wikipedia more often for these puzzles, it might even encourage more frequent editing.
Improves Logical Structure Ability: Analyzing hidden stories helps editors organize information on Wikipedia more coherently.
Explores Diverse Topics: Situation puzzles cover a range of knowledge, such as literature and biology, enhancing the editor's background knowledge. Titles of some situation puzzles here incorporate puns in both Chinese and English, guiding the editor towards translation strategies for wordplay.
Cons:
Time-Consuming: Puzzles are very time-consuming, and delving deeply or becoming absorbed in complex puzzles might detract from more essential editing tasks.
Overlooking Citations: Situation puzzles often contain fictional elements, which could develop a corrupt habit of writing without citations.
Simple Several people conspire to illegally transplant a pair of lungs, even confining anyone obstructing them. Why can they be on the loose?
Hint 1
Hint 1 Text
Image
No one was killed. The goal was rescuing life.
Hint 2
Hint 2 Text
Image
Doctors performed this lung transplant surgery in a legitimate operating theater.
Answer
Answer
Notes
These people were doctors performing an urgent lung transplant on a critically ill patient, ignoring the waiting list protocol. To stop the hospital management from entering the operating theater then forcefully interrupting the surgery, they had no choice but to block interference. Later, higher authorities approved the surgery, preserving all doctors' licenses and purity.
The situation is adapted from content in episodes 17-18 of Big White Duel 2.
The alternative English title, "Loss of Life'lung' Impact," plays on the phrase "Lots of Lifelong Impact." "Loss" of "Life'lung'" suggests the literal loss of a lung (or life) due to the critical nature of the situation. The phrase also plays with the idea of "lifelong impact," reflecting the irreversible consequences of missing the opportunity for a timely transplant. The inserted "lung" in "Life'lung'" not only points to the organ at the center of the story but highlights how failure to act results in the permanent loss of both the lung and possibly the patient's life.
This wordplay captures the time-sensitive urgency and high-stakes decision-making involved in organ transplantation, where both the lung's viability and the patient’s life are at risk. By transforming "Lots of Lifelong Impact" into "Loss of Life'lung' Impact," the title conveys that without immediate action, the impact would indeed be "lifelong" — meaning both the doctors' and patient's lives could be irreversibly altered, either through the patient's survival or loss.
Literary details: The original Chinese title actually has a more nuanced, layered meaning. The table below compares and illustrates both titles.
Original Chinese Title
Alternative English Title
Title
「肺『輸』」而歎 ("Sigh Over Lung 'Transport / Loss' ")
"Loss" of Life"lung" Impact
Title Origin
Inspired by the chengyu (special idiom) 「廢書而歎」 (literally "lament over discarded books", meaning to sigh upon reading something), which is fully homophonic in Chinese.
Derived from "Lots of Lifelong Impact," a non-homophonic phrase that is grammatically and logically coherent.
Sense Transformation 1
「廢書」 (discarded books) sounds like「肺輸」 ("lung transport"), introducing the theme of lung transplantation.
"Lifelong" sounds like into "Life'lung'," emphasizing the essential role of lungs in survival.
Sense Transformation 2
The character 「輸」 (transport) shifts to mean "loss" or "sacrifice." This expresses both the urgency of transporting the lung and the fragile, time-sensitive nature of its viability. The layered meaning is emphasized by extra quotation marks around 輸, symbolizing an escalating interpretation that requires understanding the entire context.
"Lots" sounds like "Loss," suggesting the risk of losing the lung or life if the transplant isn’t performed promptly. The quotation marks here are separated, keeping the meanings on a single interpretive level.

Marathon. As they approach the finish line, more people overestimate their abilities, leading to the use of an automated external defibrillator (abbreviated as AED).
Marathons are highly demanding on endurance, requiring long-term training and proper rest to participate safely. News stories around the world highlight cases where marathon participants face sudden death.
The AED plays an important role in such moments, being a life-saving device that anyone can learn to use. Knowing how to use an AED is a valuable skill that can save lives, marathon or not!
Moderate A is surprised to find the door open. Just as A pokes the head out, B breaks A's neck. Why did this happen?
Hint 1

Hint 2
Hint 2 Text
Image
A and B are both animals, not humans.
Hint 3
Hint 3 Text

B believes A might fly high, so it's time to action.
Answer
Answer
Notes
Bird A found the cage door open. But in hurry to leave, A didn’t notice Cat B, ambushing. Fearing that A might fly high, B attacked before A completely exited.
The puzzle title is inspired by Tao Yuanming's (陶淵明) work, "Returning to Countryside," (歸園田居) with the original sentence as "復得返自然". The phrase "fenced cage" (樊籠) in the previous sentence "so long inside the fenced cage" (久在樊籠裏) in this case symbolizes a birdcage, and combined with "return to nature" here signifies death, inevitable for all organisms.
Literary details: This poem including "so long inside the fenced cage, finally return to nature" (久在樊籠裏,復得返自然) is basically expressing the writer physically and mentally returned to rural areas. The poem describes various natural landscapes, but also represents that he was finally far away from official circles he hated, very likely represented by "fenced cage"(樊籠).
Moderate Person A intentionally uses several C-4 explosives to break the Sai Van Bridge and kill themselves, causing part of the bridge and A to fall into the water. Why was A only lightly criticized?

This action effectively stopped a train from crossing Sai Van Bridge.
Answer
Answer
Notes
B had hijacked a train, packed it with explosives, and was driving it across the bridge to Macau Peninsula. To save numerous lives and buildings, A had no choice but to cut the bridge, sending the train and B into the sea, perish together with B, thereby minimizing destruction. A was lightly criticized because a lot of fish were likely killed in the process.
The situation is adapted from content in Shock Wave 2, while mainly relocating from Hong Kong to Macau.
Moderate Why did A, familiar with skydiving, die shortly after using a parachute in mid air?
Hint 1
Hint 1 Text
Image
This death was not caused by malfunction of parachute.
Hint 2
Hint 2 Text
Image
A was about to leave a plane, infuriating most of the passengers.
Hint 3
Hint 3 Text
Image
A's parachute was deployed prematurely before exiting the plane, leading to A's death within seconds.
Answer
Answer
Notes
A was one of the hijackers, and all the hijackers were attempting to escape. With no one piloting the plane, it was bound to crash, so most passengers struggled to keep the hijackers from escaping. In some sort of pulling, A's parachute was inadvertently deployed against the wind, causing A to be sucked into the plane's engine and die as soon as they left the cabin.
In the title, "Falling Out" means dropping away while "Falling-out" means a argument. The situation is adapted from content in High Forces.
These hijackers also took control of the cockpit, and passengers knew that if the hijackers escaped, they would likely die, which is why they were willing to fight back.
In reality, even if a parachute is deployed too early, it would have to be near the plane to result in such a death from the original one.
Literary Details: The Chinese title "不歡而「傘」" is derived from the chengyu (special idiom) "不歡而散" (depart due to unhappiness), in which "散" (depart) is replaced with homophone "傘" (originally meaning a umbrella, but symbolic as a parachute), leaving the title "[use] parachute due to unhappiness"

Answer
Answer
Notes
C is B’s father. After A and C’s contentious divorce, A married D. D persuaded A, a doctor, to assist in murdering B. In the opportunity of delirious (such as asleep or drunk) C, D visited B’s home to provoke B, in ensuing altercation A's "self-defence" caused B struck his head, began bleeding profusely, and have little mobility. After D left, A came over, guiding B drink several hundred milliliters of water. B and A had an average relationship, so B accepted A's action. Afterward, C woke up, and A told him to report B’s injury to the police. B was hospitalized and died within a day, leading to C’s wrongful conviction for manslaughter. Years later, new evidence implicated A due to her profession, exonerating C, while A and D were imprisoned due to murder.
The title is based on the epithet for water. The situation is adapted from content in A Guilty Conscience, while mainly reversing the genders of all the characters.
Water is honored as the source of life, maintaining all life and promoting human health. However in this case, it became the source of terminating life for B.
When a person is bleeding heavily, drinking excessive water not only fails to help but worsens the condition. Large blood loss reduces blood volume and pressure, impairing bodily functions. Drinking too much water dilutes the blood, reducing oxygen delivery and clotting efficiency. While excessive hydration under minor or no injuries is normally recoverable in several days, it may escalate mortality in severe bleeding cases.
