Mysterious Man

[John_Conrad]

A man wearing all black clothes, black shoes, and a black hat was walking down a street. The street lamps are off. A black car with its headlights off comes speeding down the road, but misses the man barely. How did the driver see the man?

 

[Mr Nice]

The pedestrian was black ?

 

[Padawan]

It was daytime.

 

[John_Conrad]

it was daytime! the hint is the street lamps are off...

 

[gman2304]

The light from the pedestrians cell phone? Reflection from the pedestrians bling?

Or the advanced collision control systems in the car sensed the man and took control of the car.

;^)

Of course, the event being during the day is the simpler solution...

 

[Shannow]

probability distribution of the pedestrian's possible locations along with the probability distribution of the car's position on the road meant that there were a number of universes that the same space wasn't occupied by both the car and the pedestrian.

In this universe he was lucky, in others not so lucky.

Said distribution would likely form the shape of a capital "M", with a very low and flat section in the middle.

Quantum theory of driving??

No, MMMyesterious theory of driving
P.S. where is Mola and his jokes?

Well since the OP said the driver and vehicle were observed then that means the wave function has collapsed. Otherwise the car would have interfered with itself and created a typical interference pattern

Bottom line it is fortunate for the car, the driver and the pedestrian that they were observed...

touche kschachn...

But is the black cat in the trunk of the car alive or dead ?

 

[John_Conrad]

the cat's alive, but the mouse is dead!

SHANNOW moved the Stribeck curve to the left.

Schrodinger says the mouse and the cat are neither alive, nor dead.

Well, if you know the cat is black then you know the rest.

 

[John_Conrad]

interesting! LOL

but no mention of radioactivity

or

was there a flash of light, 2 observers and a wave function collapse

 

[Jetronic]

there would've been gravity waves for sure...

It was nighttime and it was snowing.

 

[Whitewolf]

Who said that the driver did see the man? The man in black was on a street just off the road that the car was on. The man in black was preparing to cross the road, but didn't, just in time for the car to miss him.

 

[DoubleWasp]

Man was very Caucasian. Clothing was nothing but a black G-string. Night of a full moon.
