Nice puzzle - try to crack it ...
Once there was a bus conductor who was very rude to his passengers. One day, a beautiful young girl, around 18 years old, tried to board the bus, but he didn't stop the bus. Unfortunately, the beautiful young girl came under the bus and died on the spot. Angry passengers took the conductor to the police station, who in turn took him to the court. The judge was not at all impressed with him and gave him capital punishment. He was taken to the electrocution chamber. There was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. The conductor was strapped to the chair, and high voltage current was given to him. To everyone's amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.
After a few months, a good looking middle-aged woman tried to board the bus, but the conductor didn't stop the bus. Unfortunately, this time as well, the good-looking middle-aged woman came under the bus and died on the spot. Again, angry passengers took him to the police station, who in turn took him to the court. The judge took one look at the conductor and gave him capital punishment. The bus conductor was taken to the same electrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to the chair, and high voltage current was given to him. This time also, to everyone's amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.
A couple of months later, an elderly gentleman tried to board the bus. This time, the bus conductor, remembering his earlier experiences, stopped the bus. Unfortunately, the elderly gentleman slipped and died due to his injuries. The conductor was taken to the police station and then to the court, to the same judge. Though he hadn't done anything wrong, but considering his past record, the judge decided to set an example and gave him capital punishment. The bus conductor was again taken to the same electrocution chamber where there was a single chair in the center of the room and a single banana peel at one corner of the room. He was strapped to the chair, and high voltage current was given to him. This time he died instantly!
The question is, why didn't he die on the first two occasions but died instantly the third time? Try to solve it yourselves. This is rather interesting, and the answer is perfectly logical. If necessary, read the puzzle once again.
If you still couldn't figure it out, then see below...
During the first two times, the conductor was a bad conductor; therefore, electricity didn't pass through him. But during the third time, he was a good conductor, so electricity passed through him freely, and he died!
Ha ha ha! Obviously, you gotta revise your science chapter on Electricity!
Ok, ok... Relax... No violence, please!
