If you get on a train, in the rearmost carriage, and walk to the front while the train makes its journey, do you get to your destination any quicker?

of course you do, the front of the train arrives at the platform a few seconds before the rear of the train does

Popped mi clogs on the operating table, causing the operation to be stopped in '95, and I'm posting.

but you still only died once, so SD1 is right....for now....

Assuming the train station isn't your final destination and the front carriage is closer to the train stations exit, yes.

A man wants to commit suicide and writes a note to say he is sane and about to commit suicide. He jumps off the balcony of a tall tower. Death is certain. But what's that thing the man can see below? A huge foam very bouncy matress (or whatever that thing is called that breaks a stunt person's fall). "Wow" he thinks and decides he wants to live after all so he gets out his notepad and pencil, while falling (its a very tall tower), and writes that he changed his mind and doesn't want to die.

As he falls past a certain floor, past a window, shortly before a gun is fired from within the tower and the bullet comes out the window (you saw this in a movie right but there is an additional twist coming).

The bullet coming out the window would NOT have hit the man as he fell past the window if it weren't for a freakishly strong gust of wind that hit the man sideways and pushed him into the direction where the bullet came out the window.

The bullet hit the man, he died, and he fell to the huge matress.

Who is to blame? The man falling? The gun shooter? The wind (maybe known as act of God)? Discuss!

Hang on, is this one of those observational, Lateral thiinking things.

The guy wrote a note expressing a wish to kill himself.

But jumping off the building is not mentioned as a means to this end. He could have been a base jumper, wishing to die at some point, just not that day. Whilst base jumping, he realises that things are worth living for and writes a note to disqualify his previous note.

Then he is shot by a "stray" bullet...perhaps not a stray, Perhaps the shooter was carrying out the base jumpers wish to die and, that the latter note was due to be dispatched to the shooter to cancel the "hit".

Or perhaps the shooter had to kill the guy to gain some advantage, like inheritance which would only pass to him if the jumper was pronounced to have died whilst not being of sound mind...was the tower an lunatic asylum...having received a note confirming the intention to die, whilst sane, this would scupper the shooters plans.

death is always certain at all times....as is tax, so this statement, whilst made after the event of jumping, has no direct connection to the jump itself.

Or was our Jumper actually a professional stuntman, albeit a suicidal one, who was planning on killing himself later that day but was killed on the job instead

No, all the doors open at the same time!

Even Jesus only died once.

He like Lazaruz rose from the dead though.
