In a far away land, it was known that if you drank poison, the only way to save yourself is to drink a stronger poison, which neutralizes the weaker poison. The king that ruled the land wanted to make sure that he possessed the strongest poison in the kingdom, in order to ensure his survival, in any situation. So the king called the kingdom's pharmacist and the kingdom's treasurer, he gave each a week to make the strongest poison. Then, each would drink the other one's poison, then his own, and the one that will survive, will be the one that had the stronger poison.
The pharmacist went straight to work, but the treasurer knew he had no chance, for the pharmacist was much more experienced in this field, so instead, he made up a plan to survive and make sure the pharmacist dies. On the last day the pharmacist suddenly realized that the treasurer would know he had no chance, so he must have a plan. After a little thought, the pharmacist realized what the treasurer's plan must be, and he concocted a counter plan, to make sure he survives and the treasurer dies. When the time came, the king summoned both of them. They drank the poisons as planned, and the treasurer died, the pharmacist survived, and the king didn't get what he wanted.
What exactly happened there?

The pharmasicst killed the treasurer.
ReplyDeleteThe Treasurer had super poison but knew the Chemist would concoct super duper poison, so he planned to swap the poisons around and also take a dose of Semi Super prior to the deadly duel, this would guard against the Chemist swapping the drinks around, and he’d let his swapping plan leak to one of the serving wenches that both men were enamored with. The pharmacist hearing this substituted his own Super duper potion for water as well as taking some Super Semi duper (weaker than Semi Super) prior to the murderous meeting, this way after a switch he would get the water back, quickly quaff that and then surreptitiously sip from a supremely secret vial of Sensationally Super duper.
