Plox pass it here.
That's all I could come up with.
Shcrodinger's Cat.
Or not
So my guess is this:
"a man and not a man"
This entity is a man and yet isn't. A boy who isn't grown yet, an entity that thinks itself a human man and yet isn't, a man who has lost honour and respect and therefore isn't considered a man in whichever moral framework this takes place or even a man who has lost his, you know, "man parts", something along those lines.
"Saw and did not see a bird and not a bird"
Essentially the same, a bird and not a bird. Some small animal misstaken for a bird. Or maybe not an animal at all. It could be a painting or a sculpture of a bird.
The "see and not see" refers to misstaking the object for a bird. So we can assume that all the X-not-X are perception problems of the man-not-man. Maybe the entity is wasted. The only part that might not be a perception issue is the man-not-man part. But it might be aswell.
"Perched on a branch and not a branch"
Like the second part, missidentified object. Could ba lots of thing depending on what the object is that is "bird and not bird". It could be that the not-bird-bird is a dead parrot that has been naild to a not-branch-perch. Or something.
"And hit him and did not hit him with a rock and not a rock."
Entity throws something they misstake for a rock and they think they hit their target. But they missed.
My guess is it is a boy who drank for the first time, sees a squirrel he misstakes for a bird sitting on a lampost he thinks is a tree. He tries to throw something he thinks is a rock at it and thinks he hit it but he missed.
Or it could be something entirely differnet, I don't know. What is it?
Edit:
It just occurd to me that I am a bit out of line in assuming a perception issue at all.
For example:
Man not man: Could be a male entity that is not part of "man" as in humanity. Say, a Klingon warrior.
Seeing and not seeing: Using other means to see than direct eye-contact. Say, sensors of his ship.
Bird not bird: Could be something that the entity asscribes birdlike characteristics to: beeing fast, evasive, maybe even a little dangerous yet not lethal. Say, a federation shuttle.
Branch not branch: A possibly precarious resting place. Say, on the border between federation space and klingon space.
Rock not a rock. Figuratively the first rock to be thrown. Say, offensive action by weapons fire.
Hitting and not hitting. Litteraly missing the shot, but still achieving a "hit". By shooing the shuttle away or provoking some other desired action.
I am not saying that it is a Star Trek riddle, just that there maybe many viable solutions depending on how literal the riddle is to be taken.
Edit 2:
It could also be that there are two parallel stories going on.
1:
Man sees bird on perch, throws rock and hits.
2: Second person, not-man not-sees not-bird on not-perch and throws not-rock and misses.
(Woman does not see (but hear) squirrel sitting on something or behind something and throws a log of wood, missing.)
Shcrodinger's Cat is the principle of, until observed and object can exist in both states. The man, through the act of seeing or not seeing the bird immediately derails that point.
A eunuch who couldnt see very well saw a bat on a reed and threw a pumice stone at him which missed
My grandfather would tell me tomething like this all the time and liked riddles. Good thing I remembered it.
That would certainly fit the criteria.
Tom wants to send Sally an expensive ring through the mail because they live thousands of miles apart. The only problem is that everything sent through the mail is stolen unless there is a lock put on it. Both Tom and Sally have plenty of locks and keys but they don't have any of the same locks or keys.
How can Tom send Sally the ring without it getting stolen?
Is it possible to put more than one lock on the container?
Edit, my question was unecessary, they both have locks and fitting keys, no need saying that if only one lock at a time can be used.
So:
He puts a lock on it, sends it, she recieves it, can't open it, puts her own lock on it, sends it to him, he takes his lock off and sends it back to her.
