Question

An 80-year-old man goes to a doctor for a checkup. The doctor is amazed at his shape. “To what do you attribute your remarkably good health?”
“I am a turkey hunter and that’s why I’m in good shape. Get up before daylight, chase turkeys up and down the mountains.”
The doctor says, “Well, I’m sure it helps, but there have to be genetic factors. How old was your dad when he died?”
“Who says my dad’s dead?”
“You’re 80 years old and your dad’s alive? How old is he?”
“Dad’s 100. In fact, he turkey hunted with me this morning.”
“What about your dad’s dad – how old was he when he died?”
“Who says my granddad’s dead?”
“You’re 80 years old and your grandfather’s still living? How old is he?”
“118.”
“I suppose you’re going to tell me he went turkey hunting this morning?”
“No. He got married.”
The doctor looks at the man in amazement. “Got married? Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?”
The old-timer answers, “Who says he wanted to?”

Do you think that the old man is telling a lie?

Jawaban dari soal ini adalah, "Yes, I think he's telling a lie."

Soal menanyakan pendapat kita apakah pria tua itu berbohong.

Kita akan melihat dialog berikut untuk menjawab pertanyaan di atas:
1. “Who says my dad’s dead?” (Siapa bilang ayahku meninggal?)
“You’re 80 years old and your dad’s alive? How old is he?” (Kamu berusia 80 tahun dan ayahmu masih hidup? Berapa umurnya?)
“Dad’s 100. In fact, he turkey hunted with me this morning.” (Ayah berumur 100. Bahkan, dia berburu kalkun bersamaku pagi ini.)

2. The doctor looks at the man in amazement. “Got married? Why would a 118-year-old guy want to get married?” (Dokter menatap pria itu dengan heran. "Menikah? Mengapa seorang pria berusia 118 tahun ingin menikah?”)
The old-timer answers, “Who says he wanted to?” (Orang tua itu menjawab, “Siapa bilang dia mau?")

Apa yang dikatakan pria tua itu sungguh mustahil terjadi. Pria berumur 100 tahun tidak mungkin bisa berburu kalkun. Fisik dari pria berumur 100 tahun pasti sudah sangat lemah. Berjalanpun mereka pasti sudah kesusahan.

Terlebih lagi, dia mengatakan bahwa kakeknya yang berumur 118 tahun menikah. Kemungkinan besar tidak akan ada manusia di umur 118 yang masih akan menikah. Maka, kemungkinan besar, pria tua itu berbohong.

Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah "Yes, I think he's telling a lie." (Ya, aku pikir dia berbohong.)
