Halo Forum Game: Halo Trick Questions

[CDX34]

Pretty simple concept, just try to solve the questions, or post your own.

The only rule is that a question must be Halo related, answers however, can be whatever you want.
You can set up a mystery, a puzzle, a pun, or even a mean spirited joke if that's what you decide.
None of the questions or answers have to be canon, or even in universe, just as long as they have something to do with Halo in some way.

If you're posting a question, feel free to include the answer, or wait for someone to solve it on their own.


Here's one to start things off:

A Spartan, a Marine, a Scientist and an Idiot land on a Halo Ring with the intent to deactivate it. The group decides to split up, but can't decide who should go with who. The Marine wants to go with the Scientist as security. The Scientist wants the Marine and Spartan to go together, as they're more likely to survive that way. The Idiot wants to go with the Marine, because he's afraid of the other two. Eventually they all agree to let the Spartan pick. Who does the Spartan go with, and why?

Being the most physically self-sufficient and possessing intellect inferior only to that of the scientist (and arguably superior out in the field), the Spartan's choice isn't as critical as it would be for the others. The idiot has no use, and the Spartan needn't rely on the marine's additional firepower. However, the Spartan distrusts the scientist given the Spartan's history of genetic augmentation and general trauma brought about through their Spartan training. The scientist is too valuable to leave behind, however, despite history proving that "mix[ing] things up a little and shoot[ing one's] way out" is a rather effective way to deactivate a Halo ring. Ultimately, the Spartan would likely forge a partnership with the scientist.

Of course, this was a trick question and so the scientist is likely one who studies a field which is absolutely worthless in the scope of this entire scenario. If this is the case, then the marine would be the best choice.

Reading this answer hurt my current limited brain power lol. It makes sense, it's just that i'm to tired for this type of thought process.

A very good answer. Unfortunately, it's incorrect. Best and most logical aren't always right. This is a trick question after all.
