Monkey Business


A man caught four monkeys from somewhere and put them into a special cage.

This cage has a banana hang on the ceiling of it, connected to a wired deviced, once the banana is pulled from top, the whole cage will be channeled with electric current and shock any living things inside.

Monkey #1 is the oldest. "Week week wakk wuk!!!" He expressed his seniority as telling others that "I'm the oldest, so I deserve the only banana in this cage!" So he hop below the banana and pulled."

"BZZZZZTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!"

All the monkeys jump shockingly yelling in pain due to the current that jabbed them.

Monkey #2, cannot believe this is happening. Challenging the monkey #1 did, pulled the same banana again and screamified all the monkeys inside the cage again, hopping all over the cage as the current jabbed them again. Repeated by monkey #3, the 3 monkeys has given up to get the banana.

Here comes monkey #4, while he attempted to pull the banana, all the other monkeys whacked monkey #4 as to stop it doing something that will hurt everybody. Poor monkey #4.

The owner then removed monkey #1, replaced by a new monkey, monkey #5. By the law of the nature, monkey #5 was very curious why would no monkeys getting the free banana? So while it approaches the banana, the other monkeys whacked it up, including monkey #4 who never ever touched the banana. Poor monkey #5 wallup without knowing any reasons.

Owner then removes monkey #2 again, replaced by monkey #6. Repeating what is monkey #5 was thinking, it approaches the banana, and bambooed by all other monkeys. This time monkey #5 was very heavy punched and bitten on monkey #6.

Owner removes monkey #3, replaced by monkey #7. When monkey #7 neared to the banana, the same incident repeated.

Now inside the cage, no monkey ever touched or pulled the banana. The owner off the power, replaced monkey #4 with monkey #8. Pathetically, this monkey #8 experienced the same tragic whack by all other monkeys while it tried to go near to the banana. Even though the power is off as no current will jab any monkey.

This cycle goes through for monkey #9. #10, #11, #12, etc... If you are the N-th monkey which smart enough to know that the power is off and entered this cage, what would you do?

Come on... what's the answer? There's no way the n-monkey or any monkey that is smart enough can ever reach the banana before being whacked.
