Tonight's bowl: The Surgeon's Perfect Judgment
No.002Difficulty

The Surgeon's Perfect Judgment

A surgeon took one look at a severely injured patient and said, 'No need to treat him.' The nurses nodded in satisfaction and sent the patient away without ever putting him to bed. What happened?

Up to 30 questions

The masters

Whoever stands behind the counter changes how the answers sound. The truth stays the same.

  • Shio, standing

    Shio

    The teasing proprietress

    "Mm, no. ...But you brushed against something close."

    Calm and grown-up, and now and then she teases your reasoning to see if it wobbles.

  • Gen, standing

    Gen

    The taciturn old master

    "...Yes."

    Hardly says a word. Only when you touch the heart of it does his voice soften.

  • Kamekichi, standing

    Kamekichi

    The spirit of the soup

    "Ho ho, that's not it. The sea is wide, you know."

    Slow, cheerful old-timer talk. The further off track the question, the more he enjoys it.

How to play

  1. Read the story

    The master serves a short story where something doesn't add up. What happened, and why? That is tonight's mystery.

  2. Ask yes or no

    You may only ask questions that can be answered "yes" or "no". When you touch on something that matters, a "fact uncovered" is written on the order slip, one by one.

  3. Tell the truth

    When you think you have it, tell the truth in your own words. The master checks whether you covered the key points; a miss adds one question.
