>a hero is not afraid to die.
You're thinking of martyrs, not the same thing as heroes.
>a hero doesn't defect to his country's rival.
He didn't do that, he attempted to fly to South America, but the US revoked his passport and he was forced to stay in Russia.
>a hero doesn't speak against tyranny while being kept safe by the secret service of the most tyrannical state in europe
So hero's supposed to be suicidal? Are you this fucking stupid?
So Snowden is CIA psyops? How many days had you been up on meth before that revelation came to you?
So it's based on the inflection you put on the words to make the '''tester''' feel smart
Every citizen should know what happens in their government. I think in him more of a hero.
The way it's worded tricks your mind into thinking half of the price would be half of 1$, but 1$ isn't the price of the ticket, it would be impossible to solve. 1$ is just a random number but placed in the sentance in a way that you think it's connected to the statement that comes after, which it's not.
It takes half of the 'final' price, which is unknown, not half of 1$. If the final price is 2, then half of that is 1, and 1+ half the price makes 2.
If you answer 1.5, half of that is 0.75, 1+ half the price would therefor be 1.75, which doesn't match and is therefor wrong.
