Well, you said "proceeding", which kind of gives the clue that not all of them were walking.

So, the 5th man was dead, and in a coffin.

TPIR1990 -- could you confirm or deny this guess?  This is what I was thinking, so I'd like to know if it's correct or not.  :)

That has to be the correct answer.
Well, this week was supposed to be a return to normalcy, but that's clearly not allowed.  Since you feel there is no need for this week's FPG to continue, I feel there is no need to continue as an FPG host or a G-R.net member.  Since most people are so desperate to push me out of here, why delay it?  I would have preferred that everybody publicly admitted it rather than string me along for the last two days, but it is what it is.  I am hereby resigning as FPG host and moderator, effective immediately.  whammy007 is the new permanent host.  No R-rated rant or airing of grievances from me.  Just a polite "goodbye for good".

I posted it originally.  In fact, TPIR1990 was going to post, but I beat him to it (of course, not knowing he would be posting it).

Consider this:
A criminal is to be placed in one of three rooms.  Room 1 contains a raging fire.  Room 2 contains a firing squad.  Room 3 consists a couple of lions that haven't eaten in years.  Which room should the criminal hope he be placed in and why?

Room 3, because the lions must have died by hunger after 3 years!

This one has three answers.

You approach two talking doors. One door leads to the City of Truth, while the other door leads to the City of Liars. You do not know which door is which. You are able to ask only one question to determine which door is which. The door that leads to the City of Liars always speaks lies, while the door that leads to the City of Truth always speaks the truth. You want to go to the City of Truth. What question do you ask to determine which door leads to the City of Truth?

I think I know one of the answers.
Ask one door "Do you both speak lies?" (or "Do you both speak the truth?").  The lying door will say "yes", while the truth door will say "no".
