Riddle Where was the man when he jumped off the bridge?

Answer 1

The man was between "the" and "when".

*Or*

"Where was the man when he jumped off the bridge?" The answer would be difficult because of the way we see this form of the verb "to be." To answer that he was in the air would be wrong because that was after he jumped. To answer that he was on the bridge would be equally wrong because that would be before he jumped. If, however, we say he was in the "process of jumping," we may be on the right tract. We have to think that "isness" or "wasness" is not static but in a process of becoming.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, the man was obviously in the air when he jumped off the bridge. I mean, unless he was doing some crazy Matrix move and defying gravity, he had to be in mid-air for a split second there. Like, unless he's secretly a superhero with flying powers, he definitely wasn't on the bridge anymore once he took that leap.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Well, honey, if the man jumped off the bridge, he was obviously in the air for a hot second. I mean, unless he sprouted wings mid-fall, he was definitely in mid-air. But hey, who am I to judge? Maybe he's got some secret superhero powers we don't know about.
